Man I don't care about stuff like that. I would so like this type of stadium. It would be awesome to have gamedays take place on campus. Traditions, get the student orgs involved and out and about, build some pride from the alumni about the new spruced up campus. On a humorous note, the business building is a bunker and it has a concessions area: I really think that this would be the best case bet for an OCS... $17 million and we will have a world class stadium.. Also Yale recently added seat backs to the lower donor sections... When pigs fly...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another Texas high school stadium. And another. So maybe pick up a used Texas High School stadium for $17 mil? That stadium like most cost $60 million because of all the architectural crap... the Yale Bowl or a stadium like it would be mostly fill dirt, concrete tunnels, and the stands are not supported up in the air but are on-top of dirt which is again cheap. I don't know about y'all but I would rather have an adjusted 60K seating capacity Yale Bowl for $17-$20 million out the door, then having a 40K seating capacity dumbed down copy of RayJay for $300 million. Also ask yourselves which is better for USF down the road... taking out a loan for something that they will not be able to pay back for decades, or something they can fund out of pocket right now that will last forever. The Yale Bowl is nearly 100 years old and still is considered one of the top 25 stadiums in college football... I doubt that the Minnesota stadium or RayJay will live to see 100 years.

I would also like to see them use the extended shades on the top to help trap sound, that with the built into the ground design and it would be louder than ray jay even if it only held 50k.

Pretty sure sand doesn't pack like dirt either. Do it right, spend the $200 million. Somebody write a check. Where's our Phil Knight or T Boone Pickens? I know some of you guys must have fat stacks.

Thank you. How about we wait until we can build something nice instead of a toilet bowl with no concessions? We are not Yale and this won't have tradition or have been built in 1914 with a pick axe and sweat. Save the cash and, when the money is there and the time is right, build a replica of what Minnesota has done.
