This summer, the school has built an on-campus stadium that is just about finished. "The grass is being put down (Tuesday) and (Wednesday)," Patriots coach Lane McLaughlin said. The stadium, which cost more than $200,000, will seat about 500, McLaughlin said. It will have stands on one side of the field and trees on the other. Behind the stands, fans will find a view of a lake that borders school property. CDS hopes to add a press box next fall. "It's an Ivy League setting," McLaughlin said. "It should be ready in about two weeks." http://www.tampabay.com/sports/footballpreps/article770270.ece :

Capacity, water fountains/no water fountains, bouncing death trap, ability to fry eggs on the empty seat beside you ..... None of that matters. All that matters is that it's a stadium and it's on their campus. 8)
