YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: First Real Mention of the new Soccer Complex
« on: May 17, 2011, 07:15:23 PM »
i found this nugget on the internet concerning samfords new soccer facility..........
Samford University dedicated its new track and soccer stadium Friday, April 22, hours before student-athletes christened it with Southern Conference track and field championship competition.
Athletics director Martin Newton, acknowledging that the university provides an excellent “broad-based education and athletic experience for all Samford students,” noted that athletics is sometimes called the “front porch to a university.”
“We are proud to have this front porch on Lakeshore Drive. It will contribute to helping Samford student-athletes compete at the highest level in the Southern Conference,” said Newton.
The complex, which includes a nine-lane track with a regulation soccer field inside the track, is located just across Lakeshore Drive from the campus.

I was still fired up about that officiating today. IP, i owe you an apology about saying Tom Brady was going to be finished after his injury, the man is a gamer who keeps gaining awards.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Work gets started on YSU’s WATTS Center

it might be nice, but being almost 20 minutes off campus it's not convenient IP. Possibly be better off playing full time at Cene again. Is it worth what they are paying Eastwood to host them?
As far as the tennis courts go. If they are planning on making the current courts parking, it would be almost a lock IMO that they build new ones. The current courts, though not used by the team much do serve the university in other ways such as classes, and recreation.

hey JJ (being civil here 
)...from what I hear is the current tennis courts are to be torn out for parking? Has anyone else heard that? It's going to be interesting. As far as a softball field goes...did they ever give any consideration to trying to build that lot of land where the old softball field sits. That area is not as creepy anymore with the addition of the courtyard apartments. I would love to see baseball moved on campus down the road. The times games sometimes start would be good for drawing a student crowd maybe. Kids on break, or possibly done for the day could take in a few innings.

It's my understanding from what I have read and in talking to student athletes on campus is that the current track will be torn out. This will then be replaced with the WATTS center which will have an indoor track. The indoor track from my understanding is way more valuable than an outdoor do to the fact that half the season is indoor season. It is my understanding the team uses Kent States facility a few days a week to practice in their indoor facility, and also make use of the gyms inside of the stadium.
I've heard that the planse for across 5th avenue call for a softball stadium and new tennis courts. I'm not sure why new tennis courts because for the most part the teams make use of the Boardman Tennis Center for most if not all the matches and for most pracitces. So where does this leave the track program...well you got Libertys track right up 5th avenue, and Girards right up 422, I'm sure they could figure something out with one/ or both of them if they need an outdoor track. I would think it would be easier to make that trip than repeated trips to Kent for an indoor facility through the year. I just hope they don't let football use this facility because like a certain troll on thei board says..I hate the football team
