Ford Expansion Update

Post by SMUfrat »

Ok, so somehow I made my way to a project update page. Here is some interesting information

Line Item:

Ford Stadium Expansion - Outdoor Club seating and mini suites. This looks to be in the 'feasability study' stage. A architecture firm has been hired (360 Architecture). Does this mean they are only looking to expand boxes, or is this to add regular seating as well. Meetings for this have been in September...

Also

Soccer Field relocation - also feasability stage. Mentioned they were looking at lighting issues. I would assume this would make room for the Indoor practice facility for football. Would the track go away? alot of questions in the air to me on this...

Moody Renovations - Permit stage

Football locker room renovations - Looks like this has been completed and have put finishing touches there?

There is also alot of cool information there. Not sure if I am reading it all correctly.

We could use additional suites since they actually fill up and I don't think for students since mine didn't work nor a friends...

Moody is well past the permit stage given that they are currently removing the bricks on the north side of the building.

I work with some engineers. Not everything will be super up to date or show real time changes...

I do believe some of these items were updated mid september.
