It looks nice. Glad to see FAU is getting the backing they need.

Total cost of just under $70 million.

We'll see. When we were at this stage, weren't we being given a figure of $60 million?

That means the shovels should hit the sand in September.

If this means a groundbreaking ceremony, that may be right. But the likelihood of actually beginning construction that soon is pretty slim.

At any rate, I'd say this is good for FAU and good for the Belt.

Nice looking facility but like the UCF stadium, too much steel for stands. Guys, ours is a totally first class facility. Concrete and rebar!!

Good for FAU and good for the Belt.

Who is FAU?

Yes it is great to finally get teams with stadiums in our conference. This should help propel us to a top conference.

I think the SBC is a spare conference just as much as you but any way the SBC can improve is not a bad thing. So good for FAU.

You'd prefer that all teams in the conference stay status quo facilities wise? Don't be an idiot.

I'll say it again. Good for FAU. Good for the Belt.

Good news for FAU. They should call it Schnelly.

As long as we have the most awesome-est stadium in the Belt, I don't mind if they wanna try to be like us.

"Average ticket price is $25." Yikes!

It will be much nicer than what they have now. Not exactly the 45K seat Dome Schnelly wanted, but Allen HS nice.

Schnelly Schadium?

Still good news for them. Everything schools in our conference can do to improve helps all of the others, at least that is the perception.

those "light poles" are pretty unique...don't think i've ever seen concrete supports for lights before.
