USF Athletics Facilities Discussion

[Woogie53]

(per my high ranking source who gave me the tour of the facilities).

Does your high ranking source know you love Florida State? <sarcasm> ;D

Yup, he knows my love for both schools. He also said that FSU refuses to play USF in baseball.

He also said that FSU refuses to play USF in baseball.

What is the rationale behind that?

FSU will not travel down here and then we said we will not go up there if they don't come down... It has been a big pissing contest since the '80s

Additionally, when I toured the facilities on Friday, the plan was to still have Softball in the stadium for their opener.

A couple of morning tweets from Bill McGillis:

Just walked site; take FB at end of Jan. AWESOME! BB/SB on track but close call for late Feb; Muma - all walls up this week

Amazing to see stretch run of a stadium coming together. Baseball and softball seats arrive today. Scoreboard construction underway.

Finishing touches going on at FB Practice Facility. Fire Marshal on campus today for walk-through. Landscaping in. Fencing nearly complete

Staff finishing baseball and softball marketing game plan. Focus on USF students, youth bball/sball communities and established USF fan base

Just an update.  I walked by the practice fields, and they look 99% complete. Looks like the final touches are going in; railings on the ramp, platforms for video towers, and final touches to the building.  It looks amazing. They even have the field lines down on the grass.

I must be freaking blind .... where are the video towers??

No video towers yet. Just the platforms for the video towers.

No. No towers, just the wooden frames to pour cement behind the endzones (at least thats what it was a few days ago).

What they are going to need is a few more light poles!  At night that seen will be interesting!
