FIU's new football stadium taking shape



This is what its going to look like, the most updated pictures don't show it complete, just moving dirt around and putting metal together still.

That is the one that I have already seen. I don't think it does justice to what the stadium will really look like. To me it looks a pretty weak. Thanks anyway though. I figured that some photos of the actual stadium would be out since the photo from the article was taken on the field of the new stadium. It looks  close to being ready for the 2008 kick-off.

Without the wrap-around buildings promised in the article, and missing a full sideline stands section, it looks like a nice but very temporary stadium (especially with the exposed girders holding up the stands). It does not look worth any amount near $50 million.

I hope it looks better than the rendering shows.

Does  anyone have any photos of the stadium other than the one from the article? I tried to google it and nothing came up other than preliminary designs.

Here's a better rendering of the stadium at 35,000 seats. There's a couple rendering videos that were released by the Athletics Dep't floating around, but I don't have the links to them.

Thanks for the link.

It is beginning to look like a stadium. It should be pretty nice when it is completed.

I think it looks great! I'd love to have something like that on campus today.

Off-topic, but the FIU Medical School earned accreditation today, so it's official, we're getting our Medical School, with our first class for Fall 2009, the Florida Dep't of Health headquarters, and the Medical School Complex by 2010.
