Yeah it's dumb to try to utilize an already built stadium that could use renovations as is.

What if I told you that the track stadium was upgraded only 4 years ago.

I'd like to leave the soccer stadium in that spot, and just make this one gleaming wall of limestone down college avenue from BSFS to the soccer stadium. 3-5,000 seats should be plenty sufficient. 

I'll throw an attaboy at John Currie.   For a fledgling soccer program they've walked into a pretty decent set up.   I saw on Twitter the coaches lauding the new pitch.    It's a decent set up for the stands which everyone is emphasizing are just  temporary.   The wrought iron fence and new limestone pillar entry is a nice touch.   Really not bad for a first year program in terms of venue.   Hopefully they can move the timeframe for the baseball/soccer building up, and find the funds to build a permanent stadium/stands structure. 

Agreed, for a completely new program, it's a pretty solid start. Hopefully more founder's club member join, and it builds up especially with all the extra $$$ coming in from the TV contracts. What is it, two years before they officially become part of the Big 12 soccer circuit?

Next year. I agree on Currie getting this right.

Permanent seating for approximately 2,500 is located on the west side of the facility, which was originally constructed in 1973 prior to a $1.4 million renovation of the complex in 2004, and additional seating for nearly 500 has been installed this spring on the east side of the track.

That web page is out of date because they made several updates to the facility prior to hosting the Big 12 outdoor meet in 2012.

Just get the city of Manhattan to build the equivalent of a rock chalk park at the taxpayers expense.

The outdoor track needs re-surfacing.   But because Cliff doesn't like to host meets, it may be awhile.   I'm just tired of reading about Cliff and the individual athletes.   Go win a trophy!

Is the first home match 9/16?  Maybe they will bring in more seats?

There is some SRO on the south end berm, but that is it for fixed seating.

I hate the shot chant during all corners and set pieces, just dumb.
