yes ive always liked that design of an inner circle of academic
buildings and an outer circle of residential space.
also i agree on moving the infirmary. prime space for parking,
tailgating, etc. it should be easy to move tennis courts and
the practice soccer fields. there is some open space but we'd
have to plow some trees.

at some point what they need to do is make the hop from nicholls
to the point where stadium road meets circle road. its short
and it would feed traffic right into the stadium lot. i think
that's where langmuir college is, or maybe benedict college i
forget...

Probably the source. They are in the midst of Fund Raising
Campaign that ends 6/30/2018. The goal is 600 million dollars
and I know as of today they at about 42 million short of that
goal So money is coming in large amounts I suspect it is being
miss directed . Several programs are planned to be cut at
the end of the school year in May .

Just wondering...why does the stadium info on SB athletics
website say that the "seating capacity" is 12,300?
HTML http://www.stonybrookathletics.com/sports/2016/8/25/facilities-ston-10-lavalle-html.aspx
It says that "expanded in the summer of 2017 to its current
capacity of 12,300".
Wasn't the seating capacity 8,200 before and now with additional
2,000 total would be 10,200? Does the seating capacity of 12,300
include standing attendance?

SB definitely plays with the numbers. I guess the same reason
they claimed we had over 12,000 fans at the homecoming game..

its gotta be standing. we have that catwalk that goes around
the entire circumference. totally doable that this is another
2000 people. or even that grass hill on the west side of the
stadium.

The additional 2k is standees. Seating capacity is 10,300
add 2k or so standing fans and bingo we have 12.3 k capacity. I
think they want that out there for the FBS Conferences
interest. Last summer I drove past Coastal Carolinas stadium
and I stopped to look around . Not much bigger than ours and I
think ours looks more like a stadium . Brooks Stadium has a high
school look to it with open bleachers. But Coastal is FBS now
and Brooks is a I believe a legit 12k seating capacity .
