Pretty damn impressive for an equally young program.
Itās nice but is shared between all of their programs. Miltimore-Wallis Athletic Training, Judy W. Rose football center, and the Well Fargo Fieldhouse are leagues ahead of this facility.
Just remember, this is what theyāre going to build. And not even all of it right away:
I kinda wish they would decide to play FBS football. But that stadium isnāt gonna cut it.

Can USF afford the Bullsā $340 million on-campus football stadium? (tampabay.com)
The school plans to borrow the remaining $200 million over 20 years at an expected interest rate of 5.5%. That amounts to an annual debt service of about $17.8 million. Only nine schools in the country made larger athletic payments on debt, leases or rentals last year
That article from the Tampa paper reads exactly like I would expect a Charlotte Observer to read about us.
I donāt have a subscription, so didnāt get to read entire article. Would think getting economists to agree on anything would be something, so not surprising the TBT got differing opinions on the stadium project.
Anyway, after just reading Charlotte-Douglas Airport broke ground on a $1B runway project that doesnāt have any guaranteed Federal dollars, the USF stadium looks like a bargain!
clt says we are going to discuss runways?

The initial plans were for 35,000 seats.
As a reminder, they also achieved AAU status recently too. Definitely trying to position themselves for the future.

Damn thatās pretty cool looking.
Would be nice to have at the Rich, but Iād also take it for BofA.
Thats a hell of a debt load with interest in college athletics declining.
It is. Someone said $17.8 million / year.
Thatās a lot, and maybe crazy, but at that same time itās a helluva lot more encouraging that our vaporware announcements followed by radio silence for years at a time. I lt feels like we have zero urgency or momentum on anything.
Well, I think we know why itās $340M now. 
Iāve been saying we need to consider a roof as part of the future construction plans down the road
clt says no more roofs and turf at nfl stadiums!
USF should have built an on campus stadium right after they got the invite to the Big East. It would have cost a faction of the amount.
