The problem is that Valdosta High School owns it and has no intention of selling it because of the tradition it holds and alumni resistance from building a new one at the new hs they just built.

I don't even think VSU has the land to build one closer to campus.

But is the no stadium of your own an actual problem for moving up or not?
Update: VSU apparently owns 140 acres of land west of campus (the entire campus atm is 168 acres)[Image: 99df14655cefa520adc7bd7071e1fb83.jpg]

That's almost double the current size, and it looks like there is available land close by to that which they could purchase to further expand if needed. Contrast to FBS Georgia State that sits on 110 acres, 400 wooded acres that makes up Georgia Tech, Georgia that sits on 762 acres, and 900 acres that comprises Georgia Southern.
What's interesting is I actually remember seeing this area being cleared out about a year ago.
I wish I had better connections with the university to get a scoop on potential projects

And there's about 1,300 open acres surrounding it
