Priairie View unviels plans for new football stadium

[tampajag]

Prairie View A&M unveiled designs Friday for a proposed new athletic complex that will feature a 15,000-seat football stadium.

"I've always said that's the last piece of the puzzle," Prairie View A&M football coach Henry Frazier III said.

The first phase of the project will feature a football stadium and accompanying Athletic Department Center.

Looks great. It wasn't that long ago when PVA&M football was a laughing stock.

[Big McLargehuge]

Very nice.



You've come a long way, baby.

I'm impressed. I always loved going by the PV campus (on my way to Houston) before they finished the bypass. Always liked the setting.

Looks like it's going to be pretty nice. Congrats to PVA&M.

First off, let me say if this plan were to come to fruition it would be awesome for PV and the State of Texas in general. That said, I am surprised they would begin such a grand fundraising campaign in this current economic climate. UH was forced to release their dreams to try and show BCS conferences that they mean business about stepping up. I'm not sure where PVAMU would see itself stepping up to in another league. Do they have FBS dreams?

Cool overlook of the entire plan. It appears Blackshear becomes the new soccer/track facility. I don't see any major exterior renovations for the Baby Dome so perhaps that portion of Phase One is focused on infrastructure improvements to offices & locker rooms.


The Athletic Center is very impressive and a HUGE step up from current facilities. In fact, it looks a great deal like what we have at Liberty for our Football Operations Center.


View from stadium club inside the Athletic Center. Once again, the similarities to Liberty are enormous. I have a feeling the same architect may be involved in both projects.


Westside Exterior with Entrance & Pressbox. It is gorgeous and dare I say a scaled down version of the Eastside of Royal-Memorial Stadium a couple hours west on 290. I love the brick facade.
