Washington is on campus. Baylor moved to campus this year.

NC State and South Carolina play "off campus" in facilities that are designated as athletic complexes for the university. They're also literally blocks away from campus.

Oregon's stadium is "off campus" because it's in a giant University of Oregon athletic complex that sits across the river from the campus. It's walking distance. In fact a lot of people tailgate/park on campus and walk over the river to the game.

Wait a GD minute...are you claiming slick is compromising accuracy to make a point?!?! How DARE you, sir!!

Correct, Washington's stadium in on campus.  Also, Baylor and Oregon have on campus stadiums but its on the other side of a river, connected to campus through a pedestrian bridge

Cue slick's comment about how he's technically right and the stadium is off campus.

For what it's worth, the University of Southern California doesn't play on campus - although the stadium is only a few blocks away. They have a 98-year lease for the Colesium and part of the lease they run the day-to-day operations, they also have to pay $100 million for renovations, maintain the building, and they still pay $1 million per year in rent for the right to do so.

 

How about that?  Paying rent while also paying to operate it and paying to maintain it!

 

 

(The parking lots at the Colesium are also used by a couple museums -- and the museums will get some of the parking revenue on an annual basis, something they have been doing for quiet some time.)

Not a few blocks away, it is across the street from USC campus.... just have to cross Exposition Blvd.

Haven't we already had this discussion? 

 

And didn't it already go down this same path? 

 

USF is one of only like 5 FBS programs out of 128 that play more than 5 miles from campus. I remember we had all the facts and universities listed as well in one of the 100 OCS threads we have. Why are you trying to lose an argument twice slick? Are you that bored?

[Bear]

 

Some are just here to shoot down hopes. May I suggest a few hours of Duck Hunt?

And some are just here to see USF spend money at the wrong time on the wrong thing.

 

yup

Not about distance... USF can not acquire the funding.

 

 

Our opportunity to build on OCS should have been initiated years ago. Now it is too late -- USF will have to show REAL progress; before people crack open their wallets.

I didn't write the article I supplied and that still leaves 20 FBS OFF campus stadiums.
