If we were secretly trying to get into CUSA...my guess is he would be advised to tone down the rhetoric, instead, its increased. Almost as if we've been told what we need to do to considered by the bigger G5 leagues, and have left it to our alums to make the necessary changes.

Its odd having a very open AD. Great...but odd.

Music to my hairy little ears.

The new press box looks great.

If you guys ever close in those grassy sections in the corners of the endzone with real seating, you'll have a football stadium that'll look every bit as big time as most P5 schools.

They must have had a couple of renderings. I really like the brick facade on the outside, but the field view shows sky in between the upper/lower levels where the bricks would be. I hope we wind up with a similar design on the outside view for our plans.

Completing the horseshoe in the north end zone, through the removal of the grassy sections, will be done with the construction of the football ops building.

Nice!!!. The Press Box looks almost as tall as the Stadium.

I think the exterior is closer to reality. They wanted fully glass both sides until they priced it. There will be windows overlooking the pond and Alumni Center but it won't be all glass as the field view implies with the sun shining through.

Will it be 'complete'? As in, seating wrapping around, and no grass?

Will definitely elevate the look and feel of Troy's stadium. For me, it can't come soon enough. All this development by other programs is making me hungry for more facility upgrades because we feel like we're falling behind. There's a total facilities arms race happening in the SBC right now and that's definitely a great thing!

You guys started it several years ago. We're just now catching up.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing it.

But what gets me more enthused is the schools in our conference who are also making huge strides:

UL - Endzone expansion and future upgrades all around...that stadium is gonna be a monster some day and is now the largest on campus stadium in the SBC.

Texas St - upgraded a few years ago but what a nice stadium. I saw it while on vacation a couple of years ago during construction...probably the most beautiful stadium in the conference.

ULM - actually was the first to do a new video board upgrade a few years ago...when I saw it the first time, I realized how crappy and out date our board was...now we have a new one...arms race!

Troy - did a total make over several years ago as they entered the SBC which really transformed that stadium...then they hosted OK St and MO to show the rest of us hosting P5 games could be done.

Ga Southern has made some very nice stadium upgrades as part of their move to the SBC.

Ga State may be the beneficiary of the Falcons if they build a new stadium...although the Ga Dome seems to still be nice stadium but maybe too large for Ga State.

Seems I've heard rumblings that USA may try to build an on campus stadium. Having been to Ladd Peebles the last 3 GoDaddy Bowls it's functional but in a bad neighborhood and the scoreboard is in need of upgrading. USA NEEDS a new home or needs to partner with the city do Mobile to do a makeover of LP.

App St had a beautiful setting for their stadium and draws nice crowds so they benefit the conference.

Idaho has some plans to expand the Kibbie dome so improvements are coming there and NMSU has a nice facility.

All of us working to make our home fields better makes the SBC better and stronger and is very encouraging. I'm looking forward to road trips to all these destinations over the next few years to check out the improvements and I hope the rest of you will venture to Jonesboro especially the next two years.

04-cheers

App is planning in the next couple of years to remove the track and build permanent stands on the field house side, latest move towards removing oly sports usage of the stadium was the construction of the field hockey stadium. The track is quoted as next in our master plan
