I don't have the picture of the "recruting zone", but the plan for that is to make that accessible during non gamedays.

Students will be able to study outside the stadium and have wireless internet access.

A deck will be available for watch party's during road games.

The goal is to make the stadium a part of campus and the student body…



Thanks, it should be a great area for the students.

The architecture firm, HKS, Inc. has been involved with a lot of the new stadiums that have been built recently, including the Colt's Lucas Oil Stadium and Cowboys Stadium. They also have designed the new North Texas stadium.

It appears that in the Stadium Financial Pro Forma, the Owls will have to continue playing at least a few big revenue game each year to cover some of the debt expenses caused by the stadium.

Texas is set to pay FAU athletics almost a million dollars this year for the game in Austin, and we all know about the money coming in from the Michigan State game in Detroit.

Thanks for keeping us informed!  When should we break out the expensive micro-brew to celebrate?

Not enough stadium events per year will do that, Boca gets what they want and we will just have to kick some ass in their place!

With a new stadium and a much higher level of recruits in the future, not a problem. UM and Fla. State used to go out to Oklahoma and Nebraska all the time and win. But I goota say, if we only get say one big time OOC game home game per year, it has gotta limit season attendance UNLESS we get outta the Belt! The Big East sounds better all the time!

APPROVED!!!

1 vote down, 1 to go!  I'm sure the BOG vote is going get approved as easily as this one just was, but I just wish we didn't have to wait until September.  Oh well…we've waited a decade, what's another 7 weeks?!?   ;D
