YSU to build Soccer Stadium this summer

[IAA Fan]

ELPENGUIN, what did they say about scheduling games in Florida? I'd love a chance to see the Penguins play down here.

In Strollo's interview he mentioned that they will definitely try for a football game in Florida, as many of the players want to have their families see them play. I heard that we are doing a two-game (IA/FBS) season with Wisconsin and FAU next year. That will be tough on us. We will need to win the conference, or one of those two FBS games. Nice income though. I do not see the room on the schedule either.

So what would happen to the track facilities currently in that location...I drive by and see those kids out there everyday, it would be a shame to take facilities away from an established positive for the Athletic Department.

It's a shame the only FCS teams in Florida or way up north in Daytona and Tallahassee. We would surely be underdogs against FAU, but that's a winnable game. Nice recruiting trip either way, especially if we can pull off the win. Now would be a good time to schedule Miami

They could easliy move to the Watts and train. Especially if the Soccer team didn't have to use the Watts anymore since they would have their own facility

I don't think administration would be too happy with Hammers being thrown indoors, that could be a little destrcutive.  so i doubt it would be an "easy" thing.  something should be done.

[ELPENGUIN]

I was informed there will be room for every outdoor track event.

DiscMan,

During the spring game, I got a good look at the land between Fifth and Ford from the concourse of the stadium.  With the houses removed, you can tell just how large a space we have over there.  Nobody has seen the diagrams yet, but there will be plenty of room for a soccer field, a softball stadium, and a throwing area.

And in related news ElPenguin does not need viagra any longer.

[ELPENGUIN]

HA, I need Viagra to get my hair to grow on top.

[DiscMan]

There definitely is enough room, and i hope for a team that didn't have much of a home for quite sometime but did so much, theyll use the entire space.  And Elpenguin...you were informed basically correctly, but a 16 ball that travels at high-speed over 200 feet is probably not safe, and quite destructive in an enclosed area where the turf costs much more than grass.

Is this an effort to make the school more appealing to other conferences (i.e. MAC)?

Found a brand new article today from the Jambar that should clear things up, Make sure you look at both pages:

  I was thinking he needed it so he didn't piss on his shoes

Interesting comments from Strollo when he says the soccer field will be used mainly for intermural sports? That's kind of weird to me. I'm guessing it won't be that big then. Just seems weird to me. Why build a soccer field if it's only mainly gonna be used for intermural sports, seems like a waste of money.

Why would government funded schools waste money?
