Are you guys going to get an on campus stadium? I heard that's what was stopping Valdosta St. from moving up.
The stadium is at most a 15 minute walk from campus (if you're at the opposite side)... it's a block down. The problem is that Valdosta High School owns it and has no intention of selling it because of the tradition it holds and alumni resistance from building a new one at the new hs they just built.

I don't even think VSU has the land to build one closer to campus.

But is the no stadium of your own an actual problem for moving up or not?
I may just be misinformed. The only info I can find on an owner says that VSU and VHS are both tenants. I assumed VHS owned it because all of the permanent branding and iconography throughout the stadium is that of VHS, and VHS also has a museum located in the stadium.

You are correct. I graduated from VHS and can confirm that Bazemore Hyder Stadium is owned by VHS. It would be perfect for VSU, but honestly...high school football drives the bus in Valdosta.
