USF OCS, dream or reality

Anyone know if after that feasibility study the plan was always to start building a stadium around now? Or was the new admin that came in after critical for this to make it this far?

I don't ever recall that being part of the plan. That data that was collected from the feasibility study clearly indicated that an OCS was wanted and that there were locations available for it.

Having the "stars in alignment" is the bigger reason why things are moving forward at this time.

Mindy has been tweeting everything right ever since USF hired her. Hopefully her LAX program does well in the OCS

Tell me again why LAX was part of the OCS package.  Title IX, additional funding available, sweeten the pot???  It just seems like an odd thing to build a stadium for football and LAX when we have a great soccer stadium that can do double duty like a lot of other schools.  Maybe I'm not seeing the vision unless it's all about funding.

Wondering if there is enough seating capacity for LAX at the soccer stadium?

we’re also adding women’s beach volleyball. I think you’re right and it’s title 9 related to getting funding for the OCS

Never followed LAX.  At the college level, is it more popular than soccer.? We don't draw more than 1,000 to a women's soccer game unless it's post season.  I believe Corbett can hold around 3,000 or more with the berms.

But hey, if it helps making the OCS a reality, I'm all in.

Mens LAX seems to be getting more popular but not sure how WLAX is although it seems easier to find on ESPN networks over college soccer. Was watching Syracuse LAX playing in the Carrier dome on tv a few times
