ODU is in-process of getting up to 35,000 seats (which are already spoken for by the way) by the time we enter CUSA.

Also, having reviewed the ESPN RECRUITING results so far, and applying (my own) math formula, it appears that ODU has a great class.

We won't be slouches, I promise.

New MT indoor tennis facility to break ground soon :

FAU Football Stadium - 30,000
FAU Baseball Stadium - 2,000
FAU Arena - 5,000

and of course FAU Soccer Stadium http://www.fausports.com/facilities/soccerstadium.html

Doesn't list a capacity on the website, so we'll have to get an Owl to help with that.

Picture makes it look like capacity is in the neighborhood of 150 seats.

I think FAU wins the award for the worst facilities in CUSA. The only nice facility they have is the football stadium. They're 20+ years away from having new facilities for every I'd say. You don't go from garbage to great in only a few years. Charlotte has upgraded every sports venue (and built a new football stadium) and it took a little more than 15 years.

ECU's new basketball practice facility beginning to take shape. The structure will have two full courts, coaches offices, the new ECU Athletics Hall of Fame and a few other goodies. Price is $15 million. Picture courtesy of bluewaterpirate.

It's a little disingenuous for UAB, USTA and Tulane to claim civic facilities as their's. They are just renters.

The Soccer Stadium at MTSU is Women only as well, if you care.

This is out in Rockvale, correct?

Soccer Stadium construction started a couple of months ago and construction began last week on the new sky suite level at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. A groundbreaking ceremony for the IPF, Hall of Fame, Student Athlete Academic Center and Sports Medicine Translational Research Facility is set for April 26th, 2013.

Here's all you need to know regarding WKU Facilities

Our facilities at WKU are 1st class to say the least. Pretty much everything has been built new or upgraded in the last 10 years or so.

FYI, our AD has been talking about adding baseball for the last few years....

And our new Master Plan drafts have come out....

http://untsystem.edu/untmasterplan/docum...KSHP_5.pdf

Scroll down to Draft Plan and Phasing... check out 1-5 years...

Or I could do it for you:

Very very nice.

UNT's investment in facilities will pay off in the future.

Also, if the $12 million dollar figure I saw for your baseball stadium a few months back is accurate, you're getting a hell of a baseball stadium.

I hope diddle gets a center video console back some day. The old one from MSG was awesome, and there is just something big time about one of those dangling over your court....

There was a movement to go away from them, but with new technology, it can be a brilliant visual display so now they are rising again. UNT's is very nice!

Yes.

But here is our "home" golf course :

Don't know why they built the indoor facility where they did. I think the owner is connected to the team, somehow.
