How credible do we think this is?

I think that if they are going to combine the football facility to stadium, then it makes sense to build them where they are joint together. If they use that track area then 5hey also have room in the Sycamore fields to add retail and dorms if that needs to be part of the project.

If this is going to happen and I’m hearing that it will, then opening for 2025 should be the goal if this is tied to further expansion

If we get a stadium can we then get an actual bull that runs on the field for pregame?

So, $250mil + moving the track stadium? 

Not move the track. We’ll just put the track at the stadium. Like the high schools

If we can have this thing ready for 2025 and commit to that, that's a massive victory for USF and this program. I think most were thinking 10-15 years from now maybe. 5 years gets us on a good track to line up for the next rounds of realignment as well. Would be so cool to get to line the streets with tailgating on campus like a traditional school. 

Also in regards to the berm - This is Wake Forests. We sat out here for their game the day after we played NC State a couple weeks ago. Such a cool space. Had loads of seating and they actually have sold out of this seating location as all season tickets families bought out. Only tickets available are resales on the secondary market. Popular spot for people out there. Kids all run up to the front yelling and screaming at the players too. Mini student section.

Wake's stadium wasn't my favorite outside of this berm seating. The rest of the stadium was a little small and strange. I didn't like how the seating didn't connect in the endzone opposite of this. Need to fill it as a full bowl and have the berm in one endszone. If they would have just continued that stadium seating all the way around that other side this would've been a great place all around

So do people buy tickets specifically for the Berm or is it a standing room only area that anyone with a ticket can walk over to?

Not sure. But the two times I have been to a USF game there it looked to be more like the family section.

Yes move the track. Looks like crap.

Only concern regarding a Berm in Tampa is drainage.

[Roaming Bull]

Why would we want a berm? Unless it’s a space for a running of the bulls style space where bulls can chase opposing fans. A berm looks like you ran out money while building the stadium.

Not sure how feasible an actual Bull is but if we get an OCS we can definitely start building our own traditions. One idea: have a Gate blocking the tunnel our team runs out of like how they hold back the Bulls in a rodeo.

Then have a rodeo clown standing at midfield wearing the opposing teams jersey, the gate opens, then Rocky runs out about 15 yards ahead of the rest of the team and tackles the clown.

Any chance to use rollaway bleachers to cover a track - kind of like they do in gymnasiums - for game days?  Don't they add seats to baseball stadiums on the field for playoffs/world series?  Don't they add seats to Ray Jay for Super Bowl? Know those aren't on the field but up near the pirate ship.  Just spitballing.
