looks great! they didn't need that dome.

looks like it's within a stone's throw of the intercoastal...pretty neat actually. i love stadiums near the water.

i like their idea of integrating the one area into a student center in order to keep generating revenue through food/drink sales while the students can relax. also, the recruit center is nice too. usf should take notes if they want an OCS stadium...having it available to other uses like this or how FSU uses it with attached classrooms can really help in the pricing, because they can get the educational money if there's a "classroom" building attached.

I may be mistaken but I think that loophole was closed after the Doak remodeling ...

dang.

well if anything, not necessarily use it to get more funds, but they could use funds already set aside for an educational building to build that portion that attaches to the stadium, which in essence might build part of an outside wall or something...every bit helps.

If I'm not mistaken, FAU based their design off of UCF's. From the look of the renderings, however, it looks like they've improved on some of the facade to make it look a little different. Hopefully, FAU's doesn't wobble when the stadium gets into a zombie nation frenzy.  ;D

I'd prefer an enclosed bowl, better for noise. I didn't know they considered building a dome, horrible idea and would have made future expansion more difficult. Good for them, all Universities should be playing on campus. Wonder when it will open, I think it was scheduled for this Fall several years ago but kept getting delayed.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    “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.”
