This is awesome, thank you!!

Thank you for doing this. These facilities are way better than what we are leaving. When we upgrade our Baseball facility, we will be tops in the league.

Some great facilities in the Belt for sure!

I want to get to all the football stadiums over a number of years.

Southern Miss has a helluva football stadium from the pics.

Texas State’s ballpark has a similar layout to the Bud. Hitting facility down the left field line, rally alley and bullpen down the right field line.

I'm in agreement with TedHead. SBC has top notch facilities all around. No more high school looking gyms like UTSA, Rice, etc (CCU being the exception, however their football and baseball stadiums are class). Every football stadium looks legit, I just hope we can close off the NEZ to at least have a lower bowl horseshoe and eventual upper deck to make ours even better. I can't wait to start playing full time and seeing all of these stadiums on TV and hopefully in person.

Also, ULL and USA have awesome looking basketball arenas, I had no idea. App State's basketball arena gives me siegel center vibes with the colors and the white trusses

I am getting caught up here on the board today.

This was a great post! I really enjoyed looking at all the photos. Can't wait to get the tour started.

Good work on the list. Just a correction so we don’t get yelled at. It’s Marshall University, not University of Marshall.

Great stuff, thanks! Am I the only person that noticed that only one school has a derogatory nickname associated with its write up? Are we starting already?

What? noooooooooooooooooooo. Must be a mistake on my part. Oh jeez, oh dear, oh how embarrassing. Oh well, too late to change it now...

StAte’s baseball stadium is among the worst in the league and is an absolute eyesore. Really hoping we get around to addressing this

The Arena opened in 1987 and has been showing its age for a while (though it has gotten quite a bit of facelifts within the last decade including new chairbacks, addition of pseudo suites, new court and new video boards/audio system).

Football stadium is the prime facility for Astate; we expanded our press box which was approximately 5,000 square feet to over 35,000 square feet as well as our north end zone lodge sitting with new athletic complex and end zone water features for nearly $35 million dollars total.

So glad we are getting back in the same conference with the Dukes!! Old Virginia money belongs together.

There is a video on YouTube showing your future baseball stadium.

We have it shared on our baseball and master plan threads here.

This wouldn't be complete without JMU's Bridgefloat stadium in it's natural habitat.

I won't touch flooding jokes with a 100 ft with where we live. :)

Driving by Coastal’s football stadium I’m a little jealous. It is very beautiful.
