- Sorry no pics, they are still working on the underlay for the field turf... This stadium, when completed, will definitely be a shot in the arm for the soccer program. I would also imagine that Jason Candle will take full use of a new lighted field turf for practice purposes being right outside the Fetterman. Probably, only when available...
Now, hopefully on to the GB for the finishing touches...
Ribbon board/new lights...

I doubt the football team sees this field. They have Fetterman or the glass bowl if they want to practice under the lights. And I assume they still use the intramural fields for grass practice.

Wouldn't they want something striped for football?

Do clubs and student organizations normally have access to varsity fields? Maybe integration in some way with Student Rec might be in the cards. Frisbee, other stuff. A walkway through the woods would make the connection fairly convenient.

Rec Services may have changed their plan, but that was what was initially presented in previous proposals.

By "this" I presume you mean the new soccer field? Bit of a walk around. Any plans you know of to connect through the woods? I recall there was an exit in the back where the cafe then yoga room is located. That's a pretty quick connect. Would have been nice back in the day to have easy access to the outdoor track for running (liar, jogging it was).

Yep, "this" meant the topic of conversation in the thread.

I haven't heard anything about that yet, though I agree it would be nice to have and there is room to create another "main" entrance on that side of the building with the round wall, only issue is I believe that is where some loading docks are at the moment. I would expect a bridge over Douglas to be the next major University funded infrastructure project just judging by the interest they seemed to have in incorporating that in student design projects in the past few year plus the influx of students living behind the Engineering campus and just jaywalking anywhere across a 5 lane road. That would be on top of the two parking decks that are in severe disrepair bordering on being 60 Minutes report-worthily unsound.
