Did you see the plans for their new stadium on their website?
It looks like a cop out of the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.

maybe but the Carrier Dome is not a bad model to copy. Although you have to wonder what they are thinking wanting a Dome in south FL. If it was retractable it would be the $hit then. That said it looks a heck of a lot nicer than what UCF is doing and USF plays in a pro stadium with red seats. Something to be said for FAU if they do get it going, and reading a little more about it, it already has a major financial backer.

comparing it to what UCF and USF are doing is just stupid... the dome will be multipurpose... UCF is building a 10k arena... and a 45k stadium...USF plays in the buc stadium.. not their own.. but prob one of the 20 best college stadiums out there.. they also have a nice seperate arena.. USF and UCF have no more in common with FAu than ECU does...
