Well, there goes any thoughts of getting rid of McElwain and paying the buyout....

Happy for our reigning national champs, but where’s the “not messing around” approach with our hot mess of a football program?

Several months ago Thick & ThinG8r said this was in the works by the citrus grove on Hull Road. Props to Thick&Thin....One of our posters was right!

Or maybe he don't care about the money.....

Where will it be located? Hopefully it's moved for our enhanced state of the art stand alone football facility.

The sharks with lasers and jet packs take up a lot of space

The money for what? The new stadium or the buyout....or both?

I was wondering how fast this would devolve into a “Mac sucks” thread. First post beats my expectations!

According to Spivey, the stadium will be relocated and new football facility will move over. Hopefully that means our FB facility won’t look like it’s squeezed into such a tiny footprint.

5,500 seats. That seems small. What the current stadium hold?

Yeah. If things keep going like they are we may only need 5500 for football.

Guys were a baseball, and basketball school now. Football is an afterthought at this point.

 

[KronoGator]

Thought you guys would be happy about this, baseball is getting a new place so we have more room for crap for the football team.

Shade structure over the stands is huge.

If they have the funding that is fine, I can't imagine that getting a totally new facility is more cost effective than improving the old one. I wonder where softball will go as well.

Has anyone checked the hospitals......... is noticeably absent for this abomination...........
