I can't tell from the pics it is a frying pan like UCiF, but it looks like parts of it are concrete...

It appears that the major stadium structure is steel, so I'd guess it is an erector set at its core.  They are clearly trying to enhance that more than UCF did.  Houston wants to expand their capacity because they want to try to get into one of these reshuffled BCS conferences.  They're in a great market, though one that is dominated by the other Texas schools.  But that's not much different from Tampa either with UF, FSU, and Miami.

They are estimating costs would be at 120 mil which is almost 60-70mil more than what ucf spent.  I don't see too many fsu and miami fans around anymore.  I think a lot of them jumped off the band wagon when usf started playing in the big east.  You figure there were a lot of usf grads that cheered for miami and fsu back in the day, because there was no football at usf.

How can you tell from that drawing that it's steel rather than concrete???

Renu Khator, Houstons President, spent over 20 years at USF before heading to Houston.... I wonder why she never tried to get us a stadium, and if she did try, did Judy shoot her down???

How many Deans of the College of Arts and Sciences or Provost's are involved with athletic facilities?

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
