The Seawolves United Website is up and running as of today.
This is really a great cause to advance our Athletic Facilities
and Teams to hopefully the next level. I attended the get
together in May at Danfords and our AD and the coaching staffs
are behind this 100%. If you can read through the info on the
website and donate if you can every little bit will help. The
Indoor Practice facility and the stadium expansion are top
priority. It also mentions expanding several women's teams and
keeping SBU in the fore front of athletics for years to come.
This is our opportunity as fans and alums to help build
something special.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that there are a few new dorms
going up in the space between the union and gray college, irving
college, and the wang center and the staller center.
in the spring I walked by the construction and it blew my mind
how different it is and the open space is all gone. here is the
latest aerial:

looks like they knocked out the grass field behind irving
college too. and the forest across from the wang center.
as a side note- I wonder why they never built a tower, a la
UMass or Albany. not that I like towers. Im just saying im
sure they considered it and of course it saves room. could be
an eye sore of course.

This is kind of a very, very random thought, but looking at a
map, there is still some good open land around the university
that it can develop should it ever want to expand. Not that it
should, im just wondering whether the U has purchased open
plots, for example, when it purchased Flowerfield. We all know
the Southampton thing never really caught on as its too far
away. Geography matters. This is why building LaValle at south
P would’ve been a disaster.
I remember once I ventured a few miles west to the Kings Park
Psychiatric Center. It’s empty, owned by the state, and even
though its kind of eerie, it looks like some nice buildings that
aren’t getting any use. There’s some open land. And its about
4 miles west of the U and there’s over 100 buildings (some in
disrepair). I wonder if they’ve ever made a move for it and if
so, what they could do with it. Random, I know.
Then I did some reading and saw that numerous developers made
attempts to purchase it, but the obstacles are asbestos,
unstable foundations, and the fact that it supplied its own
power might have left contaminants. So it looks like its too
expensive to clean up and some of the land converted to the
nissequogue park 20 years ago.
