Forgive me if this was mentioned in the article posted, but will this increase the stadium's capacity at all? Either way, it looks pretty nice!

Yes it will increase it. In the new fieldhouse there will be bleacher style seating outside and on the inside there will be something similar to skybox seating. I don't remember the numbers though. Sorry.

Here is a front look at the Adkins Fieldhouse

I think about 7,400, per the media guidexreadx. I think CCU could expand, some day, to 12,000 - 15,000 if need be, by expanding both sets of stands all the way to the end lines.

We've squeezed 10k in there, but the "official seating" is 6,408 when it opened and it expanded to about 7,300.

It can expand up to 20,000 with a lot of additions.

Drawing looks off then. Sure looks like a 9,000 home side and another 4,000 visitors.

I beleive the size this year will be smaller. The Fieldhouse is where a huge hill used to be that was packed. No idea how many people would fit on there.

Are they moving the scoreboard, or is it just not represented on the artist rendering?

Just not shown there. As far as I know it isn't moving...for now.

Actually, we only have one scoreboard, and it's behind the opposite endzone.

Yeah, I know where the current one is. I just didn't see it on the drawing, so I wondered if it was moving.

Nope. Not moving unless zilla and his boys get out of hand after a win...xlolx

My bad, Scribe. I was alluding to the second picture that bodoyle posted. I don't know why the scoreboard isn't in the first pic.

Bo, if CCU wins the Big South this year, the 'Sociation is tearing down the darn scoreboard. Two years w/o a conference title sometimes calls for raucous behavior! xnodx
