$28.5 million in Sun Dome improvements on the way

[BullFan98]

Great news for USF.  USF brings in a lot of money from renting out the Sun Dome (wrestling, concerts, special events, etc.).

I wonder were they would play until it is done.  You know these projects never get done on time.

They could play at the Ice Palace.

Yup simple solution and could maybe help grow the USF name to downtown/South Tampa more.

Great news!  Just a year away.

Stan can use this for recruiting right away.

I wonder if it will look anything like these early renderings + the center score board of course:

If the timetable that was specified could be maintained, then you can play the first handful of games on the road before opening the season at home in early December.

Looking at the first drawing, it looks like they're planning for luxury boxes all around the edge between the first and second levels.

My first thought was that the shocktroopers would now be in full force to keep walkers from standing in front of the boxes, which will probably happen behind the baskets, but...

Anyone else notice that the "outdoor" seats for the luxury boxes actually run right out to the back of the lower bowl, or is it just my old eyes?

Looks like the only way to get to the lower bowl will be down the sides of the luxury boxes, and if you use the wrong entrance, you'll have to go all the back out behind the luxury boxes to walk over to the next entrance aisle. No?

Those renditions are over 3 years old.

I'm sure they have changed drastically (and for the better)

One example is that this old rendition doesn't include the center scoreboard that is now mentioned

So after the Dome is upgraded.....what would be left for the athletics department to do.....hmmmmm.....

That would be great. I live in an apartment in Harbour Island, right across the water. Walking takes 5 minutes.
