Jax State facility looks great. Kennesaw State should take notes.

Meme of OWL sitting in burning room--"Nah--we're good--we don't give a Hoot!"

Jones, as someone who has lived this recently, I think you’re being impatient. I was too. Bowers is still hideous but they’re giving it a facelift.

The standard/bar for a transitioning school’s football stadiums isn’t what it was ten years ago. You don’t have to have it all figured out immediately. The Owls seem to have fine infrastructural base in place to grow facilities. You wouldn’t be here if they didn’t.

Something’s in the works, it has to be. It might be “embarrassing” for a few years, but demand will soon outweigh the supply and KSU’s hand will be forced. Renderings will come out eventually, construction will come, it’s all part of the move and likely planned out/definitely budgeted for years in advance. Don’t want to rush these things.

In the meantime, your school LITERALLY just rejoined JSU and Liberty at football’s highest level. Both of them come to town this year, as do Louisiana and Sam Houston. You’re hosting a P5 team in the convo in a few months. KSU is constructing a $13m baseball stadium on campus. You’re clearly seeing extraordinary university growth. It’s okay to stop and smell the roses.

Well said. And very true.

I hate giving Kennesaw State any kind of moral support... but he's right, ya know.

That looks cool. I really hope one of our next projects is a facelift for the outside of Floyd. Would love to see it bricked to match our baseball stadium.

New press box will include

-12 suites and president’s box
-a club level with exterior seating and a lounge with a bar and patio
-a visitors’ box (something SH didn’t previously have) for CUSA Presidents and ADs
-a team store
-new entrance ramps into the facility

You’ll notice neither the track removal or the fieldhouse’s expansion are in the flyover, although both will of course be done by the beginning of the season.

Opinions from Sam fans on the design are mixed, but count me as a fan.

Many of the buildings on the east (newer) side of our campus that’ve gone up in the past decade or so have similar designs, almost overly “modern”. It’ll blend in well with the rest of SHSU’s landscape, but sitting on the top of the hill that Bowers is situated in and standing at five-six stories tall, it’ll still stand out from across the campus.

Looks like thats gonna be about twice the size of yalls old one. That a good estimation?

I like the inside look better than the outside. I’ve seen some comments from Sam fans on Twitter saying the outside looks like a new academic building, not a fb stadium.

Yeah I would also like to see them work on the aesthetic of Floyd. Bricking it would make the place look much nicer and wouldn’t cost a ton to do.

Yes, it will be about double the width and will be 1 story (may actually be taller due to higher ceilings and needing more room for equipment) that stretch the whole way across. The building footprint will stretch from endzone to endzone. Haven't checked raw square footage but I wouldn't be surprised to see that it is 3-4x larger. Not a huge fan of the exterior public facing side, but the interior looks amazing, and I like the interior field side. The building and layout are incredibly functional from fan experience perspectives. The concourse is about 8' wider with more and improved restrooms, better concessions, and a fan shop that can be accessed from both inside and outside the stadium that we previously did not have the luxury of.
