Based on what I've heard....the original plan to build an entirely new facility is on hold if not dead. Work is being done behind the scenes to design a 5 year renovation plan to University Field...part of that planning process involves the possibility to turn the field 90 degrees.

 

Think Hofstra for look/feel!

 

As far as timing, I've only heard speculation as nothing has been made public.....but, this is the most movement I've seen on the stadium issue in my 4 or 5 year following this project.

Just remember what happened the last time a stadium renovation project became public.

 

I don't know what's going on, but President Philip has stated to numerous people that something needs to be done and it needs to be done now.

And let's be straight...nothing I said on the board isnt what hasnt been publicly stated numerous times (that's why i said all reports seem to lean a certain way). Philip seems gung-ho about doing something for Bob Ford and the program.

 

The extent, the value...who knows. Hopefully there will be some conversation between Philip, Yeager and McElroy.

I totally agree that the look of hofstra would be perfect . I travel alot within New York State and as a fan of football marvel at some of the high school and d3 facilities. Cortland State has a great football statium that has a capacity of 6500 . On our site now we could duplicate that very easy.

Here is a partial of Hofstra (home and away no endzones) laid over a spun University Field. This is pretty close to scale. Its easy to get to scale when you have yard lines to match up on the overlay.

Unless I missed a crucial day posts somewhere,

I don't remember reading a post about the university

declaring that the university field upgrade would officially

begin in the spring. Unless it's a mind lapse!

None that I am aware of...
