One of our posters got some flight time over the campus..

FAU's innovation village Phase 1. (Phase 2 will be another of these in a few years) Hows that for a dorm room?



FAU Practice fields, "The Burrow", and track facility



And because I love it so, our stadium with the new parking garage being built next to it. (upper left)

Nice artists renditions. You really don't believe those are actual photos do you?

Those are some sweet dorms, recruits will love them. FAU was in the hunt for a local kid Jarveon Williams who committed to UTSA but was really high on FAU as well...he mentioned the campus life as a big positive for FAU.

That's sweet. Beautiful dorms indeed.

Crazy jealous of the stadium and parking garage.

Stadium looks nice, especially like the blue and red seats.

Being from Mississippi, he must not be able to comprehend that a college campus can have that many palm trees.

Is that a runway I see in the second picture in the top corner?

Yes.

FAU's main campus is right next to the Boca Raton Airport. When you are at The Ox, you can hear the roar of private jets landing constantly.

Nice dorms

Pretty cool the airport is right there. I love watching planes.

Nope - they're not actual photos. I'm told the campus is very nice and is an excellent advantage for recruiting, but those pics aren't photographs. Just look at the roof of the dorms - a dead giveaway.

Palm trees are ugly. Of course, that's just a matter of what you like. Hell, people in far southwest Texas like cacti and brush but that's because it's what they have. I'll take a nice magnolia over a palm tree every day - you, maybe you prefer palms.

Oh, for the college comment - one RNP to another - pot/kettle kind of stuff, dumb***.

Stunning campus. Seriously considered FAU for my masters just because of the nice campus and the great location. (Also because I liked what I saw from the B-School)

I'm really...um...I...uh...

I wish UCF played away at FAU instead of FIU. This looks great. Definitely a good copy of the Knights plaza ;P

good luck, and congrats on crushing our rivals USF!

OK, please clarify, which pic is a rendering and which one is not?

Whatever the case...very nice. Always good to have some nice acreage to
put most all your varsity venues close together and still have parking available.

What's Coach Howie' doing these days?

His comments in the YouTube below couple years back about our old stadium versus our new one made many of us chuckle , ie, those of us who had toiled as fans for decades sitting inside that Old Lady of a stadium (and who is now deceased thank the Lord as far as a football venue is concerned).

None of those pictures are renders. They are all shots taken I believe from the goodyear blimp on Saturday. I have no idea why Win/Lose thinks they are renders. You can see actual cars.

Perhaps because it looks so clean and shinny he thinks it is. But I assure you those are actual shots.
