I'm sure his commitment is good but if what I understand is true you get him on the field and cement it. Not only that we just don't get to see Him, Reyna, Pulisic, and McKennie all together very often. Imo the more time they spend together the better My guess is, Musah will play on Sunday in the Final and that will be that. Totally agree with your statement about Honduras. They were an embarrassment. It was really hard to watch. It’s 1 of the reasons, I’m giving the guys a bit of a pass for the sloppiness last night. When your opponent is doing nothing but head-hunting, then rolling around screaming in the grass anytime they get breathed on, it’s really hard to find any rhythm. Another reason I give the guys a pass on sloppiness is because this is the first real competitive (non-friendly) match we’ve played in a long time. I think it’s fair to say some sloppiness is to be expected. While it would be great to win the Nation’s League and/or Gold Cup, I’m much more concerned about having everything cleaned up and sharp for qualifying this fall. As for Sargent, I still think the starting job is still his to lose. His patience and hold up play is so much better than other strikers we have. But if Daryl Dike transfers into a top Euro league and keeps up his scoring pace, it will be hard to keep him off the field.

bauman Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I bet this was part of the discussion with K Shields. This could really be a helpful recruiting tool for her. It shows a real commitment to both soccer programs. Good job, A D May. A10Ref, MusicCityBilliken and Gremio14 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 -very good, I figured if something was built it would be on the side opposite the press box as that looks like a larger area -thanks to whoever wrote a check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke’s is behind the same end goal etc…Space is also a factor with the scope of these things. Money of course also in part decides the extent of a facility. UNC and Clemson recently completed soccer buildings just under $10 Million. More regionally, Iowa is building one about half of that cost. These don’t count other upgrades such as LED scoreboards, and other stadium upgrades, chair back seats, etc..at places, multiple grass and turf practice fields. Here’s a current photo for anyone else. Hopefully it will be a long term thinking project that covers a variety of needs and allows for future ideas as well, and, aesthetically pleasing viewing decks etc..Between the near goal and service road in this picture.

courtside Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The first four photos here are North Carolina’s soccer building and stadium. We may as well start the conversation with one of the best programs. Just under $10 Million a couple of years ago. It’s tied into their other buildings, football building is connected. And it has both soccer and lacrosse usage. $36 Million separately for the stadium part of the renovations. Just after that is Duke’s facility with their building to the right in the photo. After that is Clemson’s just completed soccer building. An additional link to the inside of Clemson’s new soccer building. https://clemsontigers.com/soccer-operations-complex-construction/ Creighton built their facility almost 20 year ago ($13.5 Million) with renovations 11 years ago. https://gocreighton.com/facilities/morrison-stadium/9 This is South Carolina from about 4 year’s ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they'd have to be pretty tight on the goal maybe 15-20 feet off the end line max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see a scoreboard relocation/upgrade along with it. slufanskip and BilliesBy40 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of places don't have a lot of room behind the goal so it should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is mention of a 'training center'. It’s 5,000 square feet, so, not enough room for a full service weight room. But there will likely be some equipment in the Sports Medicine portion. Having a building next to the soccer stadium is “standard,” in soccer. Based on other recent projects, sizes, costs, etc…SLU’s is about 1/3 or 1/2 the size of the larger ones but similar in size some others out there. The larger ones have been in the $10 Million max range. Mississippi St. for example, who has secured a few recent top local recruits has a recent smaller one for close to $2 Million. Smaller sized than SLU’s. Having something is standard across college soccer for player/coach care, comfort, convenience, recruiting, etc… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was huge need to have a useable AT room by the soccer fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
