Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4488826, member: 27"] Top flight players want to play on grass in college. That is one issue, and it is a big one. Secondly, the dome is not wide enough for a regulation field. It is possible to play on a field narrower than regulation and yes, Syracuse did this for years playing in the dome. But it isn't what you want and the presence of walls close to the OB lines is not a good thing. At this point, we have a soccer stadium and the field itself is one of the top playing fields in the ACC. A fan base has been built, sellouts are happening regularly, and it is time to expand seating. A new scoreboard with video replay capabilities is also needed. I think there is room to add stands on the east side of the field. At minimum, it would be great to see another set of bleachers added to boost the seating capacity from about 1500 to around 3000. That should have improve the home field advantage and make the facility a lot more attractive for fans and players. Pretty sure we have the worst soccer facility in the ACC. The coaching staff and players (and fans) deserve better. If you are a decision maker for a major corporation and want to make a difference, this is a great chance to step up and make a donation to help make this happen. Better concessions and bathroom facilities would be great; maybe add a set on the east side of the stadium. And let's get a band for all the home games (and select road games). That was something Indiana did that we should copy. I think it adds a lot to the atmosphere (which is already good). This is what our some of our competitors in the ACC have: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.loucity.com/lynnfamilystadium/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://godeacs.com/facilities/spry-stadium/7[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://clemsontigers.com/sports/mens-soccer/facilities/historic-riggs-field/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://goheels.com/news/2019/6/19/general-unc-soccer-lacrosse-stadium.aspx[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://gopack.com/facilities/dail-soccer-field-track-complex/13[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://goduke.com/sports/2022/8/19/mens-soccer-koskinen-stadium.aspx[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pittsburghpanthers.com/facilities/ambrose-urbanic-field/24[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://seminoles.com/sports/soccer/facilities/the-seminole-soccer-complex/[/URL] And a link to the finest college soccer facilities.
