All us "contrarians" are saying is that if one was a financial improvement over the present situation, it would be in the works. Absolutely .... and then read this, the stadium's 23 luxury suites sold out quickly , along with the rest of the nearly 2,000-seat inventory of loge boxes and club seating, and the tingle turned to numbness. Can't wait to see Tulane's new OCS next season. USF will do something similar but bigger. Will see Houston's new OCS in 2018 as I will be traveling to more of the road games as retirement comes closer. By the way, went to Cincy this past season and their new OCS renovations are nice.

BTW...The upper bowl is now closed for USF games unless there is more demand for tickets (I.E. Florida State Seminole game), so essentially the stadium seats in the low 40s for Bulls games. I didn't say it has anything to do with the drive...it's simply a fact...Raymond James is too big for USF just like the Liberty Bowl is too big for Memphis. I mean, that's like UAB fans pretending Legion Field only holds 45,000 because they tarp off 20,000+ seats...like that commercial says 'that's not how any of this works' 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play Cricket on a football pitch, there's no better example on the planet than the MCG. Even big enough for horse racing and baseball, but small enough to be NOISY as HELL Had a BLAST there watching the Roos beat the Pies a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must comfort our fans. There was a tennis stadium on sim city that looked perfect for USF. It look like a bull ring. USF can paint and out Green & Gold lights. Welcome to the Bull Ring!!

Could probably recruit a Top 10 Cricket team from all the Indians hanging around the Fish Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it also interesting that of that $75M, $32.5M of it came from 2 donors .... and that doesn't include however many millions Jill and Avram Glazer kicked in.

UofMemphis Posted January 8, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 8 Content Count: 298 Reputation: 59 Days Won: 1 Joined: 11/30/2008 Share Posted January 8, 2017 when you see Tulane's stadium, remember this...they had to make it 'low profile' on one side as there are really high dollar homes that back up the stadium and practice field...one of those home owners was a lawyer, got the neighbors together, and threatened to sue over 'noise/light pollution' along with increased car traffic lowering their home values. notice the massive homes that back up to the small side of the stadium pictured below. So while Tulane claims it holds 30,000...it's more like 26,000 with some SRO areas. (which is perfect for Tulane) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
