my question is where exactly will this be situated!
there is a path that we all know that leads to the Bench. Will
it go south, north, or directly over?
i ask because the renditions ive seen (cant seem to find right
now) show it going just north of LaValle.

facility is going where they do they do the wolfstock every
year. we'll see!!

oh. if that's the case, then its west of LaValle, meaning in
between LaValle and the track.

That would put it right between the visitor stands and the
track. It'd be a real tight fit from the looks of things, but
the space should work. All it needs to be is a football field
with a roof over top of it that shields it from the elements.
Exciting time to be a seawolf!!

That puts it right where Homecoming has been held the past few
years. It is an open field now . Pretty cool picture I have it
before when it was released .

That's an old picture of the end goal of a 25k+ seat Lavalle
stadium with an IPF when we're in an FBS conference. Based on
what Hammertime said SH told him, it would have to be behind the
visitor stands as that's (where I remember) Wolfstock being
held. Though the location in that rendering could still be
right, I just kind of doubt it because of logistical space
issues.
I don't see enough space behind the north endzone for the IPF.
Track uses part of that area for discus and Hammer throws, not
to mention the path that runs between Circle rd and the parking
lot that would run right through the IPF. Unless they plan to
rip up some of the student athletic fields, putting the IPF
directly behind the visitor stands opposite the press box is the
only spot that makes sense.
I'm more worried about gameday parking logistics for Lavalle as
we grow, but that's a longer term fight that we have time to
address.

This artist rendering is part of SH 5 year plan he proposed
around 3 years ago.. Right now they are building a concession/
picnic area just slightly to the left of the video board, if you
are standing in the middle of the field looking straight ahead.
My guess, and after talking to SH the Indoor facility is going
to be left of the concession area in that large field, adjacent
the track field.. There is plenty of room in that area for this
structure.
I totally agree with you on parking. If, and big IF they decide
to go larger with LaValle stadium parking is going to be a huge
problem..
To the right of the Tennis courts, behind the existing parking
lot, there appears to be a wooded lot.. I wonder if SB can add
additional parking in that area, or maybe SB would have to
shuttle people back and fourth from the Stony Brook road
entrance parking area, west side of the university// There are a
ton of parking lots open in that section for another 5k people..

i guess its possible that they reroute the path to the train.
also, i posted a couple of years ago but there is a plan to add
new dorms in a tight spot, where the volleyball courts are, just
southwest of the track.

That'd be a pretty tight fit you're right, but they could put
more dorms there I guess. Where the dorms are on campus doesn't
really matter, though I kind of like the "residential on the
outside, academics on the inside" layout of the campus up to
now. At least it's been consistent.

Long term, I think it would be wise to move student health
services away from it's current location, bulldoze the current
building, remove a couple of the tennis courts behind it, and
build a multi-purpose parking garage in it's place. I'd also
expand Stadium road in the process to make it a two way road for
easier access to and from the stadium. Our campus has a parking
problem with so many commuters, so if we could kill two birds
with one stone by addressing commuter and gameday parking all at
once, I'd be all for it.
