Well, here is the dealio…I spoke to Alex Smolka (Head Track Coach) last night at the game, and this is what he said:
1. It is completely finished
2. Will open in the Spring of 07'
3. Will hold first meet in Spring of 08'
4. No PressBox plans***
5. No stands/bleachers plans***
6. No restroom/locker facilities plans - yikes!***
***BUT, he mentioned that he has a pledge from "someone" for a $1 Mil contribution towards the facility for upgrades…i asked if it was eligible for state match, and he said "yes"…so, if that pans out, he said they "will build a pressbox, and stands for 5000 fans"…also, some restroom, meeting, and locker room facilities…
The track looks great, but unless they are willing to dress, meet, and walk from Oxley, it aint gonna work for Football…he said the gymnasium facilities would be used for restroom until another option (ie the above) presents itself…

When we play at Lockhart dont out players use the Ft Lauderdale Stadium lockers? I saw them heading across the street once I thought last season?

You put the bleachers ON the track…duh.
That won't work either. There simply isn't enough room between the field and track for sidelines, nor is there enough room on the track for 15,000 worth of bleachers. GO OWLS!!!
