north of Lavalle.
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..
