Who knows what the land situation around Temple's campus is, unless it's on or adjacent to campus it might not be worth it. ULM seems cash strapped so a renovation there is probably prudent as well.

Would UCLA ever build something on campus? USF seems to be a name that's floated out there for this topic. Topic was resolved recently for South Alabama, UNLV, and UAB at least.

I don't know if UCLA will ever have enough land to build a stadium. I guess they could knock down some of those dumpy Bel Air homes. lol Even their baseball stadium is off campus and very tiny. Named after someone pretty famous, but very rinky dink compared to the type of teams they produce.

Even if they could find the land, it would never be approved to be built. The surrounding community would kill it. Jackie Robinson Stadium is the smallest in the Pac-12, but the players love it. They had ten players drafted in the 2021 MLB draft, the most of any school in the country. In the 2019 MLB draft, they had 13 players drafted, tied with Vanderbilt for the most in the country. As long as they can bring talent into Westwood and the players like the stadium, they will be alright. I think it is a great place to watch a game.
