It will not fit in that square space.
For one thing, the Larry Finch memorial statue will be at the circle entrance.
Any future stadium will be at the golf course property.
People want to envision a OCS on the main campus, but there's no room.
The dimensions don't fit.
Realign Zach Curlin east to the property line, demolish 2 obsolete dormitory buildings, and there is plenty of room to build whatever you want.
You'd probably have to integrate some housing/teaching space into either/both buildings to really make it make sense but I think its fun to think about. The idea of a gameday actually on campus is pretty cool to think about. I always wished we could keep the ellipse intact which could turn into Tiger Lane v2.0. A tiger fan can dream right?!
Fun to think about for sure. I don't see it ever happening though, and the Liberty Bowl is really pretty nice now. Not a bad seat in the place.
