The University of South Florida is considering building an on-campus football stadium. School officials acknowledged they are still in the early stages of planning, but a preliminary feasibility study released Tuesday shows a stadium would set the school back about $200 million and hold 40,000 to 50,000 fans.
âStakeholders were unanimous in their belief that the university should not build a new stadium if it cannot afford a modern, quality facility,â the study said. âThey indicated that a lesser-expensive, value-engineered stadium such as Spectrum Stadium at UCF should not be considered.â
Original article does say, in order to get a âColorado State Typeâ Stadium, they will need to raise $110M via donations. USF currently was ranked next to last in donations in the AAC last year at $2.4M. Gonna be awhile.
I wanted to know why they took a jab at UCF stadium. I didnt know it really was a value type stadium. Theyâre suing the company who built it. USF should get a stadium just the same as Temple but man the cards are not in their favor.
Cincy overall has nice facilities. Itâs a whole complex right in the middle of campus. Their football stadium has a lot of history so understandable they havenât built a new one. I could tell they spent some Big East money wisely.
Iâm not an architecture major but I have a couple of decades in mechanical design. It looks to me like the goal is to have all fans in the lower sections and all fans in the upper sections equal distance and facing the center of the field. Sacrificing the distance between the 30s to give the rest a better angle of the entire field.
I doubt the plan stays. They will find out their biggest donors arenât going to help build a stadium that sacrifices their view of the game to give the casual fans a better view.
