New facilities ACC
Here is a list of new facilities or renovated facilities coming to the ACC. If I need to add any let me know. I think my favorite is GT newly renovated basketball arena. ACC New Stadiums and Arenas

RE: New facilities ACC
VT is building a new indoor practice facility if they can get over the fact that some trees will have to be cleared
EDIT: VT also just put new field turf on the baseball field. I can't find pictures right off but it has orange base paths and maroon VT in the outfield and Hokies written behind home plate. The pitchers mound is the only dirt.

RE: New facilities ACC
Clemson is in the beginning stages of a $50 million facilities improvement project, which includes the mentioned practice facility. Phase III of the West Zone at Memorial Stadium includes a museum and concourse improvements. Other improvements include:
Addition of a players facility for baseball at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
An additional practice facility for basketball being added to Littlejohn Coliseum.
Improvements to Riggs Field for the soccer program, including adding seating.
Addition of two indoor courts for tennis, and covering the seating at the Hoke Sloan Tennis Center.
The Larry B. Penley Jr. Golf Facility at the driving range. It will include offices, meeting rooms, repair facilities, and locker rooms.

RE: New facilities ACC
It's not been announced yet. But I've been told that Wake Forest has purchased Lawrence Joel Collesium (our basketball stadium) from the city of Winston-Salem and there will be some major renovations made to the building. We also have some more renovations to do Ernie Shore Field (our baseball stadium) inlcuding a state of the art scoreboard along the lines of what we just installed in the football stadium.

RE: New facilities ACC
The renovations at the football stadium are great. If they can take that mentality into the other facilities I have no doubt they will be great.

What are the chances Pitt will build an on-campus football stadium?

Probably 0%.
Where Pitt Stadium used to be is now the Petersen Events Center. The issues are that we're too landlocked, there's no parking, ingress and egress are really difficult from Oakland, and of course funding.
Maybe after the Petersen Center becomes obsolete we'll see a football stadium on that plot again. I highly doubt it, though. I just don't see any other places for the stadium in Oakland.

RE: New facilities ACC
The new Pitt facilities look great. I heard that the soccer field was pretty bad before. Im glad they got a new one.
