The estimated completion date is 2007. The football stadium is proposed as of now with the following specs:
~15,000 seats; expandable to 25,000
The stadium will run north-south sitting in the current RACC parking lot and extending into the current practice fields slightly.
Looking at the RACC from the Campus Circle the home side will be on the West (left) side.
The home side will be two-tiered (Like stonybrook)
The lower tier will continue on around the north endzone to the visitors side (Horshoe type stadium).
The visitors side will consist on only one tier for now. (Hence the expandability of the stadium).
The stadium itself will be dug down as the south endzone will have a grass hill for people to sit on if they wish (somewhat like Lehigh's stadium).
The North endzone will have a second tier of sorts, but it will be a weightroom overlooking the field.
The parking lot will be where the current practice field is.
University field will be leveled and turned into a grass tailgating area to also be used for practice and intermeural sports.
The stadium will have no track! (hooray)
The new track and field compound will be where the current field hockey and softball field (not conflicting with the softball field, that will remain in the same place I think)
The Lacross and fieldhockey fields will be where the crappy basketball/tennis courts are to the right of bubble.
There are also inprovements for the equipment room, offices, athletic training facilities, and baseball and softball fields.
The project is estimate at $200mil.
The football stadium alone is estimated at $40 mil. ($20mil from state funding and $20 mil from private/corporate donors)
They want to have this done by 2007 (Good luck!)
It will be one of the best college athletic facilities in the northeast when finished.
The official drawings and such will be released in about a week i believe.
The entire project will run from Dutch tower, east to the baseball field.
