Board passes $22M for stadium design

Helpful stuff

Glad they are doing this and being thoughtful. They'll get 100 ideas and have to sift through what is recurring and high priority, what's in the gray area, and what just won't work due to cost/infrequent mentions. They'll also have to overlay their own judgement and innovation. Interesting project.

Not really.  They pay athletic fees with their tuition....  so like cable subscribers who don't watch ESPN, there are a lot of students who subsidize the "free" tickets to USF athletic events for those who want to ho.

I'll gladly subsidize anyone who wants to ho

So any ideas when we get any actual presentations on the stadium, cost etc? I mean if we are still talking about opening in 2026, they need to move faster

I believe the final rendering was anticipated to be released sometime in the fall.

Is it okay to maybe mention using the stadium as an excuse for reworking the pregame (Gimme a U, ooh that's hot, etc) and perhaps maaaaaybe, a different pregame announcer?

Did you know he’s the same guy that does the Lightning games?

Think I've posted this before but planned infrastructure outside the stadium for tailgating should be prioritized. Primarily a "preferred" tailgating lot or something to the effect that comes with the space and electricity for a proper gameday setup. Think Boulevard at SMU or the Grove at Ole Miss. If the school provided some resources to help those people set up (moving stuff from cars -> tailgate space), that would be super cool too.

I would agree, but those will be both expensive and likely available on a prioritized basis.

You mean the guy on the field? Not that guy.  He is just trying to get the Public Library Stadium to make some noise.
