Stadium, redux... yet again...

[bulls87]

Where would you put the stadium, would it go where the soccer stadium is not or place it on the property that is on Fowler near the Sun Dome entrance?

Sorry typo "now"

You can start out with something like that with plans already in place for expansion.

A 60,000 seat stadium can be designe to be built in phases.

If I'm not mistaken, UConn constructed their stadium this way.  I was watching one of their games earlier in the season, and they had mentioned that when the stadium was built, there were extra pillars put in place for future expansion.

My point exactly, start small and work your way up

I think this idea was brough up on here a looooong time ago, but would it be possible for the state to put some money into the stadium if we put classrooms and/or residence halls in the exterior of the stadium kind of like what FSU did.

Many big time programs charge students for entrance to games.  IF we were to get that big we would eventually start charging them too.  Additional revenue.

Acutally, it doesn't really have to be on campus, but at least near campus.  South Carolina's stadium isn't on their campus.

RJ is only 15 min from campus so then why build a USF stadium not on campus.

When I say near campus, I mean no more than a mile away.

That would suck, less students would probably show up

That is fine but why would USF pay for land close to campus when they already have the land on campus to build a stadium.  I was also thinking about the land on the north side of Fletcher near river park.  I think USF still ownes all of that.
