Oracle: "On-campus stadium is next step for football program"

[charsibb]

Just an FYI - UCiF charges $65.00 to students that want a guaranteed ticket to the football student section.

And a bowl of rice. Chop stick free.

Pretty tough to eat with only one of them...

I enjoy RJS too, but when the time comes for an on campus stadium, I hope we don't try to build something similar, with large gathering /vending and even club areas. I want concrete, plenty of luxury boxes for increasing school income, close to the field seating (no track), and a loud design that can be expanded to 90,000 in the future.

We don't need areas for people who hardly care about the game to mingle. They can do that behind the seats and under the stands, which should have plenty of vending and bathrooms.

Go Bulls!

That won't fly. Those people are donors and season ticket holders and, like it or not, are an entrenched demographic of our fanbase.

Nevermind entrenched demographic, they bring money. The program needs all the money it can get if you want the program to be big time.

its gotta happen people

It will someday. We may be very old and gray by the time it does though.

I read this at a glance; thought it said "old and gay".... I was like woah.. Ray Jay works just fine

It's probably because there's a better chance you'll go gay than gray.

Can the curlies go gray?

You need to spend more time with cougars...

shiver....

An ideal stadium imo would be something like Lambeau Field. Something simple. One single bowl level, skyboxes and whatnot at the top, and an atrium on the side with a Lee Roy Selmons restaurant. Obviously not exactly like the NFL stadium, but a lesser/more collegiate version of this stadium would be epic.

It's going to happen, it's only a matter of "when". I agree that we do not need a frying pan piece of shizz like UCF but I am jealous of their OCS atmosphere.

However, if we actually do well and win games, RayJay will be consistently full. Tampa has always been and always will be a bandwagon town due to all of the transplants.

Waste of ink and paper.

Waste of ink and paper.

The Oracle still prints a paper edition? In 2012? Say it ain't so!

[Skingraft]

Hell, I'm glad I don't have to go gay to get a stadium.....

Won't happen for a while.... Someone hurry up and hit the powerball when its in the $200M range....

[IncrediBULL]

Why the OCS topic again. Nothing new here, move along to real topics.....

Seriously, no money for it now and other projects in front of it.... It is currently not on the radar for athletics per conversations I have had with people in the know.
