IPF / OCS - Informational Updates

[Jim Johnson]

Initial details for USF on-campus football stadium could be forthcoming

Meantime, the USF Bulls Club has announced a record-setting year for fundraising.

Some kind of initial designs should be available Sep 6.

Some updates and questions on IPF:

• New 360 video walkaround was posted last week: 

  OpenSpace

• Also, if you did not notice before, you can go to the layout map of the facility and select floor 2 and see the views from 2nd floor and observation deck. More images provided on previous 360 from last month.

Questions:

• They are going to lay the artificial turf on a packed soil bed as if it was an outdoor field? Is that how all of the other IPFs around have done? Figure there would be like a 4-6" cement base.
• What is the deal with the two A/C towers. Originally thought they were access to video camera decks on both ends of the field. Assume the bottom opening is return and top will blow out to tubing that will run down both sides of field. UF IPF has one end that feeds both tubes.

  Indoor Practice Facility

   Likely a better design to have each source only have to go to the 50. 
• Can we get indoor pics from this week....said they were putting in the field?

Did anyone get the date of President Law's inauguration?

Yes. Looks like he just linked the Matt Baker/TBT story from a couple weeks ago through his own site.

We are quidditch national champs after all.

And cricket national champs too!

Too late but, but building the stadium to accommodate cricket would keep the stadium busy in February to April with international matches from England plus short format matches in July/August with the Caribbean Premiere League.

Saw someone mentioning building a sports bar in the stadium. Not sure if anyone's been to Lambeau field in the summer but its setup to be a year round attraction and there's always a decent crowd there hanging out.

They have this huge atrium with a hall of fame, pro shop, tour guides, and a big sports bar built into the stadium. Having something like that could be a cool way to get more year-round use of our stadium. Would make more sense than a lazy river anyway
