New press box, club seats, suites, loge boxes, on field viewing area, renovation to football locker room, new premium tailgating lots with electricity and cable.

Also included in the project is a new indoor hitting facility for ECU Baseball.

Video will be released at Spring Game on Saturday, cant wait to see.

Good news indeed. Like these upgrades and I like the OOC teams coming to Greenville in the future. ECU football (and baseball) has a lot to look forward to...
Cheers!

Congratulations ECU!

Was supposed to be announced Thursday, damn male chicken tease.

Doing it at the spring game makes much more sense.

Congrats! Will Lebo be in attendance for the spring game?

LOL yeah right. He's not attending a single one of the Pirate Club rubber chicken functions that I've seen this off season, so no he won't be seen anytime soon.

Congrats, ECU certainly deserves first rate facilities [/align]

Let's just say -- everyone will want to make a trip to Dowdy Ficklen in 2018.
AAC football facilities truly are first class

Early renderings...

BREAKING: ECU will join the LA Rams as the second team to relocate to Los Angeles

I'm excited to see the plans. It seems that everyone that has seen it has been really pleased and even surprised with how nice the plans look. Being a Winston Salem native I was really impressed with Wake Forest's Deacon Towers so I hope this is very comparable to that. Deacon Towers even has a restaurant in it that is open to the public which I think is a good idea for income. That and Duke's new press area are really what I'm going to compare it to and see how they stack up.

This is the announcement of the announcement I guess.

It's more along the lines of State's Vaughn Towers and Deacon Towers than Duke's just because of how the stadium is configured. Though the box itself does look a lot like Duke's

At least with Ruff not here we won't hear 'our stadium is already second to none, now it'll really be second to none" once the plans are released to the public.

I love Ruff, but man I got tired to the 'Second to None' speech at every press conference.

The expansion is going to be honestly unbelievable. This will solidify ECU with the top spot among AAC stadiums.

Thanks for the info, those are all nice facilities, it's good to know ours will be comparable to those.

This post was second to none!

I'm weary of the name change to TDCoogs Stadium.

That "ECU doesn't own the market" stuff is getting ready to change. ECU will own LA!
