It doesn't sound like they plan on an outdoor track. That would take alot of land and it would seem to me you'd have to commit to the Outdoor track first to make sure you have the room for the smaller facilities. The total square footage for just the track and the infield of said track would be right around 120,000 sq feet. which is just 5000 square feet less than the watts. Then if they want to do it right with stands and locker rooms etc. you probably should tack on another 20-50k sq feet for that. ALOT of land, your not gonna fit that in after the fact.
This will be completely off topic but I've heard rumblings from some associated with athletics and and from the articles I've read, and again i may be completely off base, but i get the feeling the Administration and others high up feel as if these facilities are some sort of gift to the teams and a triumph of athletics administration. It seems to me that these things and much more are necessary to take things to the level I'm sure everyone wants them to be. To be grateful is one thing, but to continually act as if no one could imagine YSU attaining such things is laughable to a program that strives to be division I, and may be the reason its struggling.
