akzipper Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 The more I look at the pictures of the stadium in this thread, the more I like it. I really like the seating behind the goal. Even though we don't have one large grandstand, I think this seating will give us a distinct Home Field Advantage. BTW, did anyone else notice that on Google Maps they have FINALLY updated the area around campus? It can't be more than a few weeks old as the soccer field is ripped up. Thats awesome, glad you can see the stadium and not those dang rinky dink dorms that used to be there. But they still need to update the "streetview" because all they show is a big pile of dirt where the stadium is. Hopefully Bing will update sometime soon as well, they have a "birds eye" view which would be cool to see of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Some pics from today. The out-of-towners thank you. I think its looking very good and since the grandstands are apparently a year earlier than they were supposed to be and it looks like they are easily expandable, this is a nice reward for the best athletic program at the University.

jberry1337 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I love the red brick they are putting in everything now. It looks really good. I am also glad that they are finally putting in restrooms, nothing is more distracting that the "parade" to the Union every half. Let's sell out this new stadium and give them a good reason to expand that grandstand!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. I haven't been over to campus that often lately; so, I know how it is to want to see pictures. Sorry all I had was my cell phone camera.

Zipsrifle Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well, I stopped by the new Soccer stadium today and took some pictures....but of course my wife left the memory card at HOME in the COMPUTER! Anyway, it looks good. I think it will give quite a nice atmosphere. The east stands are elevated so that the Rowdies can stand in front and everyone else behind can see. Can't wait to hit a game this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 They're still working on the locker rooms. Nothing has started in regards to the grandstand yet. They have two weeks from today to get it done. First game is a women's soccer game on the 20th, where all the men's season ticket holders can pick up their scarves and ticket packages (if you can't make it they'll mail them to you). So 14 days to complete it. But in just 7 days the women's team is playing an exhibition game against Wright State, so it have to in at least good enough condition to allow fans to watch. I don't see the grandstand (and pressbox) being finished by Friday next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're working hard, but the time frame was short on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're working hard, but the time frame was short on this. It's disappointing that the contractor isn't progressing a little more quickly. It's amazing what can be done when you are really dedicated to completing something, such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but perhaps it requires a LOT of money. Hopefully, they will complete the assembly of the bleachers behind each goal prior to the 1st Women's scrimmage; the south stands area can be blocked off with a "construction fence".

anonymous hippo Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I can't wait to check out a game this season, it is my first year on the Campus as a Grad student. How do I get more information about the Rowdies that are extreme supports of the Soccer team? Thanks in advance. Oh and I saw the work on the stadium today, looks great.
