Look where UCF's stadium is ranked (really???)...

WE NEED TO MAKE A TEMPORARY BAN RULE FOR ANYONE WHO POSTS A BLEACHER REPORT ARTICLE AS SOURCE/REFERENCE!!!

I mean.. come on. Even on UCF's message board (yes i took a quick peek to see their reaction,) they laughed about this and know they aren't anywhere near the top of the list.

At least you can tell what it is before clicking on it ... and to avoid any more hits to that idiot's site, here's the hilarious "assessment":

21.

Bright House Networks Stadium is new, having just opened in 2007, and is perhaps the best stadium outside of a BCS Conference.

Central Florida will be joining the Big East within a few years, and they have the facilities to do just that.

They will in all likelihood have the best stadium in the conference when they do. The stadium seats 45,301, and it has just about everything.

The fanbase here is growing, and they know how to make some noise. Wait for the song Zombie Nation to be played, and be prepared to "bounce."

Gotta love the bounce house mouses

No fund raising going on so it is not serious. If we wanted to build it 10 years out we need to start fund raising now. So, you see Woolard and the Athletic department do not have fund raising going on for this, so it is a moot point.

[Greg Auman]

Don't want to speak for anyone else, but I'm thinking USF will tell you there are more direct and immediate ways to help the football program. Starting a fund toward an on-campus football stadium -- we'll say $200 million on the very low end -- is earmarking money for something that could be literally decades away. Priority now is an indoor practice facility -- they're working to line up support for that, which should run about $14-million.

[Rizman]

Greg, you are dead on.

[Costa]

Obviously this guy from the Bleacher Report thinks the "bouncing" of their POS stadium is a good thing....clown.

I 2nd the motion.

Do we have a 3rd?

[Southshore26]

3rd....

[outrunner]

As far as athletic facilities, here's the list of things that should be done.

1) Finishing the SunDome and Muma Center (yes, they ran out of money to finish some parts)

2) Corral upgrade

3) Fieldhouse

4) Tennis complex upgrade

5) Soccer practice facilites upgrade

6) On campus stadium

Seriously??? I LOL'd at that....
