Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1184332, member: 716"] They should have built the IPF over the Coyne site, with some replacement bleacher seating, and kept the track as is, with a turf infield for field hockey. Even that would have been imperfect, though, with athletes being bussed up to Skytop for the field events during meets. Skytop is a bad location for the track, but some of the complaints about tailgating are over the top. Yes, every intercollegiate sport is more important than maintaining deeply discounted parking spaces (and SU's not taking away any Skytop parking spaces, anyway). Sorry that some people lost some green space; that stinks. SU should and could do a better job of accommodating tailgaters in a pleasant environment in and around campus. Complaining about track construction (at a 20,000-student university with a top-5 program that [U]doesn't have a facility[/U]) is absurd and won't do anything to improve the tailgating experience.
