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

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.

regardless of how it comes about, i really want a nice nifty soccer stadium for our girls. I think they deserve it and I think that Cat fans will support this team very well.
I drove by the field a few days ago and there is no way that they have enough seats for the first match.
