Although far from putting a shovel in the ground, South Dakota State is moving forward on potentially replacing Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

The school has hired Crawford Architects of Kansas City, Mo., to update SDSU's athletic facilities master plan and generate several detailed options - including size and cost - for a new football stadium, athletic director Justin Sell said.

It's the first piece in a feasibility study that will determine if, when and how SDSU can go about renovating Coughlin-Alumni or creating an entirely new facility.

"You can't afford to take a step backward," Sell said. "We have one shot at this thing."

Lead architect David Murphy will be in Brookings on Tuesday and Wednesday to solicit information and ideas from all coaching staffs, athletic administrators, campus personnel and SDSU president David Chicoine.

From there, Murphy - an Iowa native who worked with Sell on the $26.5 million McLeod Center at Northern Iowa earlier this decade - will study the situation and formulate possible plans, creating a comprehensive strategy for upgrading athletic facilities over the next 15 years. The last update to the master plan came in 2004.

Is a dome in SDSUs future or will they continue use the outdoors as a home field advantage?

good on it for the Jacks, they deserve a stadium worthy of their program... (they may be a rival, but they were also transition partners... kinda hard to hate on 'em too much... for now)
