And everyone knows that Mel Kiper is a douche that never put on a jock and doesn't know what he's talking about.

Amen to that!

I think it looks great, and is a huge upgrade from McAndrew. Well deserved for one of the nicest fanbases in FCS. :thumb:
Go Tribe!!!

Thanks Tribe! We're looking forward to it. Congrats to your players picked up in the draft. Your defensive line definitely proved that they could play last year.

Ok lets see, MKJ is a respected, PAID, & famous man. *You* are a broke, impotent, unathletic, nobody, that noone cares about. Hmmm, I think Im gonna roll with Kiper. :coffee:

I think it is hilarious that an Eastern Washington fan is mocking another school's brand new stadium. I assume that is EWU stadium in your sig? LOL

Haha Eastern Washington's Stadium is just sad. Here are a few High School stadiums here in Northeast Ohio that are nicer than most FCS Stadiums!

Warren G. Harding Mollenkopf Staidum
Capacity: 14,500

Massillon Paul Brown Tiger Stadium (USAToday #1)
Capacity: 18,000
Image

Steubenville Harding Stadium "Death Valley"
Capacity: 10,000 (Seats are 3 yards from field!)
Image

Canton McKinley Fawcett Stadium (USAToday Top 10)
Capacity: 22,000

Respected. That's debatable. I am neither broke, impotent, unathletic, and last time I checked I am somebody. You don't know anything about me except that I am a fan of SIU. Looks like you are just a forum troll that has no life and can't think of anything better to do but bring other people down. Now that is pathetic. Why don't you go roll with Kiper in his bed if you would rather roll with him since you love him so much? So are you the "pitcher" or the "catcher" in the relationship? I would put my money on the catcher.

We got a tour of the new facilities that are under contruction. The new locker rooms, football offices, basketball offices, and theater-like meeting room are going to be something. The facility is completely networked so that a coach using a laptop anywhere in the facility can call up any video clip stored in the library. These new SIU facilities are going to be great. Before this project, the SIU staff was afraid to show recruits the stadium and facilities, now SIU will have the best facilities in the conference, and possibly the FCS.

The stadium will have no track, the video/scoreboard is up, will have 12 luxury suites, a banquet room overlooking the field, and a grass berm in the north end zone for overflow/general admission seating. The turf will be going down soon.

Even visiting teams will get an upgrade, as they will get to use the old locker rooms in Lingle Hall instead of the locker rooms at the old McAndrew stadium.

Go 'Dawgs!
