They have scraped that parking deck for the time being also those are old renderings. The newest ones are similar but wont be as much. Track will be gone and the there will be a bowl style seating close to field underneath club level. Club level will be roped off and you will have to walk around it. If you got questions I have the real answers.

So where will the new track be located?

I don't know. That unfortunately I have nothing to do with but I have seen plans to put it up at the broyhill center.

Thanks. I'm concerned about the track because I'm the only one on here who wants it to remain where it is. Some say it makes us look high schoolish. I think it makes us look smarter because we aren't paying for two facilities. There are those who say the T&F athletes deserve a place of their own, but I've never heard of a trackster or recruit have any complains about the current set up. I know I don't and I'm a track fanatic.

Besides, end zones are the absolute worst seats in a stadium.

Thank you. When will plans be released and construction begin/complete?

Got to agree on price first. Could finish 2019. I know the track is definitely going bye bye though.

Thanks. How will it 'bowl' considering the two existing sides aren't symmetrical?

As you can see per the rendering there will be a huge concourse.

What is better with wings? Ranch or blue cheese?

I say ranch all day

So will the seats under the club level connect to the current lower levels on east/west? Trying to figure out if there is any way to redo the lower East side to bring it closer to the field. Hopefully the project and fundraising campaign is released before too long...

This is great insight, thanks for posting.

I'm curious as how a private/public project will be sourced. It seems strange that donations will be used to fund the project, but it will be a leased facility. I'm just not familiar with this setup and how it's favorable for the university long-term.

Give it up already. Ranch is the preferred dipper. BC tastes like farts and most people hate it.

Somewhat disappointed that people would rather discuss dipping sauces over what I consider the biggest athletic related project at App since 2009.

I'm confident we can talk about both. There really isn't much info about our new facility yet and I love wing night. Tangents are fun. The thread would otherwise be dead.

Neither. I hate both ranch and blue cheese.
