    Football FAU: $62M, 30K Seat Stadium for 2010

    Thought some of you might be interested in what Schnelly is doing at FAU. One of the FAU fans said it will be very similar to UCF's new stadium except it will have water fountains . . . :

    FAU on-campus stadium APPROVED
    Posted by Ted Hutton at 2:25 PM


    This just in: By unanimous vote, the BOT has approved plans for a $62 million, 30,000-seat on-campus stadium to open September 2010.

    The vote was no surprise, but it took forever to get there. Nearly five hours of presentations, speeches, most b-o-r-i-n-g but I guess necessary. There were a couple nice hilites.

    Let’s call the stadium UCF Lite. Similar looking, just fewer seats.

    To recap ---- first, here is the artist rendition of the proposed stadium. Basically UCF with one open end zone.

    Wow! Good for them. I always said when FAU, FIU, UCF, and USF get moving in the right direction they're going to hurt the Big 3 in Florida.

    Glad they are getting a new stadium, but I don't see anything really special about it. I would hope a renovation to JAS would be MUCH nicer than this. It is like looking at some new houses. Sometimes the "new" feels good, but that is the only attractive thing about it. I like JAS with outside closed in and horse-shoe'd in much better. The palms are nice. Wish we could get some trees going around the parking lot of JAS.

    just goes to show what money will do. they have no need for a 30K seat stadium (average attendance is around 10K) but if they got $62 mil to throw around why not. i guess it beats having to play home games 2 counties away which they would have to do since their current stadium is being torn down.

    One thing I don't like about it, it's made up of metal bleachers. It's like sitting on the wings of JAS.

    metal bleachers are OK...just as long as you can fill 80,000 of them!

    What I meant is that the entire stand is metal...not concrete.

    I'm hoping it is a metal support structure holding up concrete like FSU's stadium. prior to our stadium expansion it was nicknamed "the Erector Set" by our rivals.
