Incredible Stadium project at Ball State

Post by It's the Journey... »

You all have to go and check out the stadium update that Ball State is rasiing money for. It's a 12 million dollar project and they are over 7 million right now. They are gonna increast to over 25,000 and put in a grassy area for seating. It's quite the plan.

Wow...looks like Letterman hasn't kicked iin anything yet. He could probably underwrite the whole project himself. Probably insist that Paul Schaefer be named band director though...

That's just a rendering...we all know MAC attendance is never like that!

Decent stadium, but who the hell did the diagrams? Looks like a 100 level engineering class.

Yeah, it's amazing! I had to look a few times before I realized that as well.

It's gonna look nice if its ever completed. I would hope Letterman would help out, or that doesn't look too good for the University AT ALL.

too bad they will fill that stadium maybe 1 season because people will want to see the stadium but other than the first year that nice stadium will be half empty most of the time. But hey hopefully I'm wrong and they turn their program around. We need most MAC schools to improve their programs to bring more exposure to the MAC. New facilities is a great start.
