San Jose State Stadium Project Update

Recommended Posts

San Jose State Athletics Director Marie Tuite said on the weekly coaches' radio show tonight that the removal of the east side berm will begin immediately following the end of this season, rather than after the 2020 season, and that the school's head of finance told her that shovels to begin building the Football Operations Building will hit the ground next summer, a year earlier than previously stated. She did not indicate whether or not the completion date for the entire project will be any earlier than the currently targeted 2023 season.

Is that really a timeline change Mike?

On the SJSU media release back in June, the timeline was listed as:

Quote

Prior to 2019 season – Removal of benches and bleachers on east side
Following 2019 season – The east side of the stadium infrastructure will be relocated and the rest of the east side of the stadium will be torn down
During the 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons – The Football Operations Center will be under construction
Prior to the 2023 season – The east side will be rebuilt with the return of bleachers, concession stands and amenities.

It looks to me like it is simply the same schedule released a few months ago, not a sped up timeline.

And news from the Valley is that Bulldog Stadium is leaking and cracking; a recent 60 million dollar renovation was scrapped; and the LED lights bulldog nation has been bragging about (bwahahahahah) will only illuminate and reveal that aging stadium and lack of renovation since 1990. All this happening while SJS has been terrible and FS better than ever-but it seems valley folk aren’t paying attention. Shameful. More raisin sales at Costco.

2 year old article. Lol. Millions in infrastructure have been invested since it came out. Leaks have been fixed. Cosmetic cracks sealed. New Lights, new field, elevators, gating, etc. I know, it all happened so fast. You guys aren’t used to that in San Jose. 5 year timeline to build some warehouse with aluminum benches. LOLOLOLOLIL

As I said before, this is a complete waste of money. SJSU football will be extinct in just a few years.

I don't know, they need to invest to get the facilities up to FCS standards.

Oh that must be why you guys are so happy with your new lights-happy to save the few millions raised in the badly failed effort toward 60 million.

San Jose State athletic director Marie Tuite said improving the football facilities has been long discussed, but money first went into upgrades for other sports. She noted the importance of third-year football coach Brent Brennan having a facility that helps “build a sustainable and competitive program.”

“We’ve got to get it built,” Tuite said. “We’ve been talking about it for a number of years, and it’s such a crucial piece, and not just to our football program but to our entire athletics program because of the dining facility and other amenities that will be in the building. It’s going to help all 22 programs.”

Tuite’s effort to put a spark into a Spartans football program that has won seven games over the past three seasons underscores how athletic directors throughout the nation are trying to keep up with or get ahead in the race for better facilities.

Those facilities not only provide a more attractive college option for recruits, but they help the athletes on campus through their focus on better nutrition and training methods.

“A young person should not pick an institution because of their facilities,” Tuite said. “There are so many other really important factors. However, facilities tell a young person how the institution feels about their passion, how the institution feels about the enterprise that they love being a part of every single day, their sport. That’s why it is so crucial.”

“A young person should not pick an institution because of their facilities,” Tuite said said the person whose institution doesn't have facilities....

What the writer meant to write...

LOL!

Those are not upgrades, that is general maintenance.  Lol.  Gating.  Replacing turf.
