That would be up to par. Are these released from the University or 3rd party?


They were originally leaked from a 3rd party, however it has more or less been confirmed by our AD and is up for vote by the Board of Curators at the end of June. Our Athletic Director said he feels certain that it will be approved with no issues.

you must see it in person...it truly is amazing



Kinda weird, but look at that grass...the junction is a lot more badass than people give credit to it. State actually manufactures their own grass, and a new way to keep it greener than...well you know what.


this is before and during the tent run


the only recent ones...

I'm no expert on Vandy, but I want to say they wrote several pretty major upgrades into Franklin's new contract after the season. Not much different than the stadium expansion and new football facility were basically written into Mullen's raise and extension...



If Vandy would get it's shite together it would be a decent football school. Nashville is great, good location (directly over the entire south) and easy travel games from Arkansas to UGA.

They are just missing the desire to actually put the money to use. What kind of upgrades are we talking?

This is the best I could find, sadly. From a VU board.

I believe they are also building an indoor practice facility, but I believe it is going to double as an intramural center of some sort and indoor track.

Only supposed to cost $20M so they will stay be way, way behind there but it's a start.

Come on Nebraska you want to recruit Texas just like us.

We will get a game back in Dallas so we can have 2 games, every other year, in Texas.

Like I say, I don't know specifics... but it looks pretty significant for them. Vandy Upgrades

For sure an IPF among other things. It's hard to know exactly what extent we're talking, since they don't disclose financial data...

Funny that Arkansas fans can laugh at any other school's stadium when what they have is a dump! Airline High School in Bossier City has a nicer stadium than anything that Piggy state has to offer.

You'll soon learn that a good many arky posters here are delusional...somehow think they're a top notch member of the SEC but with little in the way of titles to back up their big smack talk !

RRS is just a smaller BDS. I was in Alabama this last year. Once Arkansas adds the north expansion that's been announced it will get even closer.

Both are really nice and good for the fans.
