[E.T.]

Did not know about NC State's stadium, didn't realize it was that far from the main campus.

It's 3 miles... but there is another "campus" less than a mile away that has the Veterinary college (Biomedical Campus).  Most of the off-campus student housing is south of the main campus, including their "Greek" houses.  In fact, the Greek organizations get big (BIG) tents for tailgating at the State Fair parking area... about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the primary stadium lots.

Students ride buses from the north side of campus (just east of the Zaxby's on the map).  It's possible to walk, but there are no sidewalks on SR 54 as it passes under I-440 by the Raulston Arboreum.

When do we get to see renderings? 

 

I am impatient.

So USF just needs to put a building next to Ray Jay and say its on campus. Just incorporate the HCC campus across the street and we're done. 

So it shows having an  actual ocs is  not as important as advertised as getting a power 5 invite ? Something tells me winning in football/ men's basketball and academics are the two most important  parts. I think the ocs is great and worth building usf students,alumni, and businesses closer to usf is a good investment. I just think if we don't start winning now and looking like a conference contender by it breaking ground it is not going to change the success of men's football.  The most important part were facilties which we addressed with the ipf and coaching which we have no idea.

That is a good point regarding NC State’s stadium. I went to that road trip and stayed at the hotel next to the stadium. I just walked to the game which was good for me but bad for NC State. The point is that I didn’t spend any time on their campus so I basically didn’t spend money on any businesses on or around campus. You can ask me how NCSU’s campus looked and i honestly could not answer lol 

We stayed in Fell’s Point. There’s even a pub down there that’s owned by the son of a USF Alumni. Fell’s Point is a bit of a drive to the game and still parked about a 1/2 mile away.

Today's TBT article.  Strange the only building not identified in the rendering is the YC.  Looks like the dome was built for beach vollyball.

USF’s $340 million football stadium plan gets committee approval

An on-campus home for the Bulls is closer than ever after a virtual meeting Tuesday.

 

That graphic is on the Facilities Master Plan on our website. One can click on any of the logos to show what future renovations, new building, etc. are planned for each sport.

I do not believe that there are any major renovations yet set for the Yuengling Center.

I don't think we really spend the money on major renovations to Yuengling center until the OCs is built and MBB has drastically improved. The YC is pretty nice and more than enough for AAC basketball . I do not think any power conference really cares if we spend more money  in the YC anytime soon. There are plenty of MBB arenas that are not nearly as nice as the YC and they outperform USF consistently.
