Did ETSU Finally Clear Hurdle?

Maybe so, as some were wondering if the new football stadium was ever going to actually happen.

Drawing looks good......but a horseshoe type seating & only 10,000 seats means probably only about 22-24 rows of seats.....just a guess.....was hoping it would be about 16,000 or so seats....but I am sure it'll be nice once completed....

It looks expandable if needed (at least on the side away from the luxury boxes). Although it sounds like they're planning on starting at 7000 with no boxes and expanding as needed. Not a bad idea, but I wonder which 7000 they're going with. I hope that it's both sidelines and leave the bottom of the horseshoe to fill in later.

I was running over there yesterday (in the rain!!!) with a professor and asked him exactly where it is going to go, (right in my running route)... the site looks nice. Based on the recent additions (Baseball stadium, softball field and soccer stadium) it will be a very nice, albeit small, venue. I'm looking forward to watching my Mocs win a bunch of games in it.

Private fundraising has been going better than expected from what I hear. There should be no issue in having it ready for 2017. I'm excited to see more of the plans that will be revealed Wednesday at a press conference.

And I've heard that it will be expandable to around 30K if that is ever needed.
