While I know you're being tongue-in-cheek and the project is still in it's planning stages, it's more than just a pipe dream. I first heard rumors of getting red turf in Sep or Oct of 2009, and it was announced in Feb 2010 and finished by September 2010. If it does come to fruition, EWU would have about as nice a stadium as MSU, perhaps nicer in some ways.OptimusPrime wrote:"Pipe-dream for the Future" is more like it

Basically, the lower section would mirror the current homestand with 6000 seats, with another 3k in a second tier like Montana's, but covered and attached to a really sweet athletics/university building. That would bring the capacity up to 16,600.The first phase building would introduce 5,000 more seats in lower seating rather than bleachers to the Washington side of Roos Field and 3,000 more seats to upper, covered seating. The inside the building would house concessions with a view of the game, leasable commercial space, suites and a donor club with tiered seating and a patio, many bathrooms on one concourse alone, the Academic Success Center, a training room, football operations, the University Bookstore, locker rooms for home and visitors and a dedicated space for the band near the field.One of the presenters said that a dedicated spot for track would be located elsewhere on campus.
Further phases included additional seating in the north end zone, which would connect the proposed building with the existing stands to the east (far side from Washington Street) and a dedicated student area on the south. The whole stadium could eventually seat 20,000.
The project would be funded by donations only and if approved, would be attempted to be completed in 30 months, September of 2014.

Dunno, covered seating might be nice for some of those late autumn games.kalm wrote:2) I don't care how nice the new grandstand is, I will always sit/stand on the west side overlooking the palouse.
So would a dome. So would sitting in a luxury box.EWURanger wrote:kalm wrote:1) I like hearing that track would be located elsewhere on campus

Eagle Envy. And perhaps a little butt hurt that EWU could (assuming this all comes together with the 20k seating capacity and track removal) have a nicer football complex than them.kalm wrote:grizfnz wrote:That will be the nicest Junior College in the country

I thought about that. too. But from looking at it I think it might just be part of the architecture.....or something. ?ewudood wrote:EWURanger wrote:

I think its supposed to be an eagle's claw. Maybe it's for the score board?

We didn't try to polish that, we just built a new place.kalm wrote:Really? Ever heard of Dornblazer?grizcountry420 wrote:You can polish a turd all you want but at the end of the day its still a turd!
