Construction Pictures

[CasualFan]

Hi everyone, I wanted to add a place for people to post pics of any stadium/facilities improvements at their institution.

Coastal Carolina has started installing their teal turf. I think this picture makes the stadium look ridiculously small.

Brooks is about the same size as Alfond, but that visitor's side looks easily expandable.

We do have a very large and long running stadium thread but I haven't seen it in a bit. I'll try and find it and add this to it.

The sad part is, that's the home side!

That side is on the west, they switched so visitors would have the sun in their eyes during afternoon games.

Thanks for moving it (eventually) Ursus. Guess I should have searched first.

Yes Yes it is!!

Those breasts have undergone some serious construction.

[Panther88]

Not sure if I posted already but the home side was gone as of last week. The visitors side was demolished the week prior. The track should have disappeared already, as of today. We're progressing towards the June 2016 deadline for stadium opening.

We did that bleed'n-yellow. Coach Willie Simmons and staff are getting it done. If all goes like I think it will, we may have another SLC'er on our sched fall '17 when the SWAC mandate goes from 9 to 7 IC games. We already signed a home and home w/ SHSU for 2017/2018.

Why don't you guys send us your 2nd str guys so we can get in that top-5 FCS ranking. :D

I'm sorry but I checked the NCAA stats from the game and that score vs your 3rd string cheerleading squad did not count. :D

In all seriousness.... :D wouldn't you guys like a nice home-and-home w/ Prairie View A&M University? Both schools have a little history w/ each other. ;)

Very nice stadium, Rick!!! Our schools need to schedule a home and home if they start allowing 12 game seasons every season.

Doc

Greetings Doc! McN is @ the top of our list, from what I was told, outside of SHSU [proximity]. McN was the ONLY D-I FCS school who offered us a home-and-home during our heyday of offering only 15 schols @ the then D-I AA level. Hopefully something will hash out w/in the next few months (year) in time for fall 2017 when the SWAC stops the 9-game IC mandate and moves to the 7-game IC format. A probable 5 game OOC sched could be imminent.

I have no doubt that your new facilities will bring in recruits...I said so in an earlier post. But the question is "can your coaching staff win consistently with said recruits?" I hope PV is successful. More good teams makes everybody better. Also, if your future predictions are accurate, I would love to have you guys in the SLC. The SWAC will just anchor you down.

Oh yeah, it's certainly set up for that dirt to be turned into seats. It matches up perfectly with the existing lower level. I'm sure that's the reason. I just would've thought with that much work being done putting a larger one in would have happened as well to balance it

Great looking stadium, one that all PVU fans should be proud of. I agree with you on the video board, though may not be as far away as it looks in the picture. It's sitting on top of a berm and 2D pics can distort distance when comparing objects at different altitudes. But at least they have a great new stadium and have a video board. That's more than a lot of places.

Prairie View's new stadium once completed hands down will be tops in the SWAC and a top 5 FCS venue IMO. Didn't realize they had FBS aspirations but I don't blame them for the upgrades to improve their chances. Truth be told a HBCU in FBS is long overdue and will only help college football as long as they keep the traditional classic games as part of their OCC schedule. Only conference I can see them going into would be the Sun Belt and maybe working their way into the Mountain West at some point.

Abilene Christian has a new stadium on campus scheduled to open next season corresponding with our first year as a full-fledged FCS member (Southland).

Part of the reason UNI's seats remain rainbow colored.

To take them off, repaint and reinstall the backs cost a pretty penny.
Taking the backs off permanently would be a massive change that wouldn't go over well, even if most stadiums are without backs
Putting in new seats under the ADA as it stands now vs what it was in 1974-1976 when the dome was built would mean fewer seats (dome currently meets ADA guidelines but would need to stay in line with new requirements with new seats

Since 1986 the player who wore the No. 37 passed it down to a younger player of his choice, with the only criteria, that player must hail from the state of Montana.

I could find it in other places as well, but the above works.

They generally tend to be all conference, all American caliber players, who must hail from Montana. A few didn't completely live up to the Jersey, but Jordan Tripp and Zach Waggenmann were the two miss recent players too don #37.

That's all they have done in a year, is move some dirt? Gotta love government work, how many years is ETSU expected to play at Science Hill High School?

[McNeese72]

We have some construction going on at Cowboy Stadium. But it is only to put in some compliant handicap ramps. :(

Note: Not disappointed because they are putting in the ramps, just that that is all it is. ;)

According to the administration the construction is ahead of schedule. Should be ready be next season. The press box is going up now.

That's an arcade that was part of the original architecture of the site in 1935. It previously had bathrooms and concessions built into it but those have been removed. The two larger structures within it are entrances to the stadium.

One of the most beautiful venues ever created ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Look @ that...

[Hammersmith]

NDSU's Sanford Health Athletic Complex(SHAC) is almost done. It's the primary athletic building on campus. It has the main offices, academic support, weight room, therapy, food, most of the locker rooms, most of the coaches' offices, and is home to wrestling, MBB and WBB. The old Bison Sports Arena(BSA) was completely gutted, added on to, and rebuilt. About two years and $45M. It's not perfect, but perfection(tearing down and starting from scratch) would have added at least $20M to the price tag.

I have an inkling that the trip to App is probably what started some of the higher ups into wanting to look at doing something like that. We got the grand tour and the locker rooms and team areas were very impressive. When we were there the guy giving us the tour had said that he had showed some of the Montana staff around as well. I can't remember if I said it to Alpha or another friend but while we going to the next are of the coaches office I said "bet we start raising money for something like this to upgrade as soon as they get back".

In the renderings, the Champions Center does have some similarities in appearances. If the urinals are Maroon with little Griz logos on the top, then I know where they got that from. xlolx

Our back sideline isn't nearly as impressive as our home side line. Our back sideline could actually use an overhaul.

Fargodome has been trying to keep the new video boards under wraps until the game, but some photos just leaked out. Got no problems passing them on since I think the image embargo was pretty dumb to begin with(same with the SHAC). All three of the boards in the photo are new. Three more identical boards are on the other end of the field. The big boards have smaller boards on the back side for the higher endzone seats.

I believe if you look close, you can see one of the four short ribbon boards above the field entrance in the lower right corner.

ETSU reminds me a lot of UC Davis.

Set up perfect for expansion also. This looks very similar to how Washington Grizzly started out.

It's ETSU... I don't see them needing to expand.

[ETSUfan1]

Oh come on now, you guys aren't that far removed from poor attendance. If you would have had a stadium capacity under 10k and had the success you've started to have, and the added butts in seats, ya'll may have had the expansion discussion. The stadium was built like that on purpose, so expansion could happen if needed.

That looks pretty nice.

I agree about UC Davis. Looks really nice.

These are the most important construction updates. I went to a game there a month ago...It looks a little iffy in my opinion.



The seating on the south end will be completed in time for the NCAA's FCS football championship in January. The event has been held at Toyota Stadium since 2010.

As i type this message I can see the cranes moving and construction going on this site.....I think they'll finish in time. I have yet to hear of a construction budget to be met in Texas with the building environment going on in the metroplex currently.

Material costs are going up like crazy...skilled laborers like masonry workers, brick layers, etc are in a huge shortage.

UC Davis got new turf (last year) at Aggie Stadium. Great place to watch a game....

Thats certainly nicer than the junior high bleachers they had back in the early-mid 80's.

The new Jumbo is finally in and ready to go. Looks fantastic in the stadium.

How wide?

[JSUSoutherner]

How wide?
80'x14' IIRC

It's not the largest screen we could have gotten but it's a hell of a lot better than what we had.

I'm pleased with our upgrade.

It's an improvement but honestly still rather underwhelming. It's a shame Monmouth couldn't do more but it's a brutal area.....

Grambling has switched from natural grass to turf this offseason.

I hear you on that. Certain upgrades, no matter what they are, better the facilities as a whole.

[youcanbankit]

Very Jealous. So many upgrades around our conference and the US. Samford needs some work and investment. At least they upgraded the logo to match the new one in the middle of the field.

14'x80' are dimensions that JSU fans are pretty familiar with...... except the rich ones, their double wides are 28'x80'!!!!! xlolx

It is nowhere near that now which is why I said it was iffy. There's another guy on this board who can see it from his office, he is a better judge of whether they will make it.

I would have loved a 28'x80' board. That would be one of the biggest in the FCS.

Either way, it's bigger than UTCs minitron. :D

I thought that looked really narrow - almost like a ribbon board.
