Athletic Facilities

Conference and site inspection has been postponed, as stated in another JAMO post on X. Maybe they are seeing the sanity of building on campus finally?

If the track at HS is staying and the stadium itself is condemned, what are they going to build around the track?

....Perfect solution, move the track to CE. It is already graded, ready for install and since T&F is held in the hot spring, late summer, there are already 5,000 covered seats and gold plated shitters.

That leaves the current footprint of HS to be used for the new stadium, which is proposed to be exactly the same size, with all the infrastructure already built: 2 large multi level parking garages, Broad Fieldhouse, network lights, recently upgraded scoreboard, students, front door of the University to draw the public to campus, etc. Use some of the $$ to build pewter plated shitters and concessions. Building a rectangular prefabbed bathroom is cheap. Concession vendors are already on campus.
 

Very informative and timely interview. Answered key questions without fluff or promises.
Don’t really agree with the issues brought up by Orr as to why building on campus isn’t as desirable.

- I will agree the campus is “landlocked”, but I think we all agree there’s enough room to build the appropriate size stadium for Sac, not building on campus for 25k-30k is the wrong decision based on hoping to one day have 40k-50k.
- I will also agree that the road infrastructure leaving is not perfect, road improvements and proper controlled traffic planning is not a myth. And again don’t believe a good enough reason to build away from campus
- Maybe he was trying not to reveal our finical situation but he did not say that we could not afford to build on campus either or say it was for sure not happening

If the desire is one day the new Pac we should fit right in at the 30k mark. Fresno gets up to 40k, but Boise, SDSU, OSU, WSU all hover around 30k and we shouldn’t expect more.
