Then it shouldn't be called a stadium. People love bringing their
blankets, dogs, coolers, etc and sitting on the grass and watching the game. If you want to sit in the bleachers, there are bleachers all along the other side and behind one goal. I think bleachers will actually reduce the attendance.

When you recruiting against teams with real facilities you have to compete. Hopefully they incorporate the hill into the design. I would imagine there will still be some areas for that.

I still think they should combine Lax & Soccer into one complex. Side by side fields with a double sided grandstand, press box, locker rooms & restrooms between the two fields. It costs less money in the long run to maintain one larger structure with locker rooms, restroms, etc. than it will to maintain two smaller ones. Something along the lines that Bucknell built a few years back, but with a larger seating capacity.

In 2013 we averaged about 850 fans per game for men's lacrosse, so that comes out to $10,000 per fan.
Soccer would never go with sharing..........
They have a firm stranglehold on "their" location on the corner and seem to be untouchable. The firm I work for has worked on several proposals for upgrades over the years and they call their own shots. I wouldn't see them agreeing to a new location or sharing of facilities.

From reading the BOT notes it seems like the facility originally was only to get the bleachers but the scope expanded. That note makes me think they may have gotten a big contribution that will pay for most of the upgrades, doubtful with their current budget they expand a scope of a project without a major donation behind it.
I'm guessing that attitude is probably why lacrosse ended up with their own faciltiy even though sharing might make more sense.
