Maybe this has been discussed, but reading a part of the ITN cover document...

USF is seeking to Contract with a experienced Design/Build entity for the construction of an approximate 35,000 person On campus Stadium on the Tampa campus for the USF Football program and the Women's Lacrosse program.

Seems odd to single out Lacrosse as the only other sport for the OCS.  I thought it was announced they would be playing in Corbett or was that just for starting and then they move to the OCS?  I really don't understand if that's the case,  500 to 1000 fans would look ridiculous in a college football stadium.  UNC the best team in the country only draws over 2,000 fans a couple games per year.

GO BULLS!

Not really singling them out considering they're the only other sanctioned sport that plays on a field that doesn't already have its own stadium ...... and from the initial announcement:

The Bulls' team will play home games at Corbett Stadium on the USF campus (the current home of USF soccer), with plans to move to an on-campus stadium in future seasons.

I would think they'd call Corbett home forever but who knows. Maybe it's to give a good vibe to the new ocs. When comparing the success ratio of USF men's sports to USF women's sports, the odds are certainly in favor of WLAX having success ....

I could imagine when USF plays Florida -- which is a member of the AAC for Women's Lacrosse ... that game might be in the OCS as it might draw more fans than Corbett could comfortably fit.

With the help of @John Lewis ... Today, I have started a monthly donation to the OCS fund for USF Athletics.  I have pledged to make the same donation every month for the next five years.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not a large amount... but it the annual donations will be the most I've donated to USF in any given year.

Every little bit helps.

Thank You. I also plan to do the same as soon as they officially move on the project.
