Possible Cal Poly Stadium Expansion video

[LUaddict]

I was on youtube and looking at videos for Cal Poly Football and stumbles upon some videos that depicted a possible look of an expanded Alex G Spanos stadium. Very Cool looking if this were to happen. Cal Poly is already supposed to have an expansion that will debut this 2010 season. Cannot wait what it looks like and I will be there for the Montana and Cal Poly game in September. I will be missing Liberty and Ball state this year after I went to the WVU and LU game and was so much fun because of inability to go to muncie this football season. It also helps that I live an hour and some change south of SLO. The weather and atmosphere will be great. Always nice to see Griz fans come out to SLO.

Looks cool

Looks pretty nice. What is the expanded capacity suppose to be?

[Willie]

That looks pretty big. I'd guess around 26-28,000. Would be cool but I have a hard time believing they'd fill it.

I believe that those are ExpandSpanos versions of what he would like to see, not an official Cal Poly version. Looks very cool though.

Well, This is not an official release from Cal Poly but I cam upon this on the internet when watching football highlights on youtube. Also Cal Poly is supposed to finish their 22,000 seat expansion in the summer of this year and I saw it posted on an article on the campus website and on the Alex Spanos wikipedia page online. I am not sure how reliable they are but this expansion started 5 years ago after Spanos donated 1 million dollars to the athletics department.

Take a look at the stadium wikipedia page:

The picture of the stadium on the wikipedia page is the east side renovation and it was the first phase of a planned 4 phase expansion/renovation. Spanos actually dontate 8 million. They installed a Daktronics Video Scoreboard last year. Waiting on additional funding before starting the next phase. The quickest I could see anything happening is after the 2010 football season.

Really! After the 2010 season. Man, I am a little disappointed that it will not be done until after the season. I though that it would have been done in time for the Montana game. Oh well, I will still be there for that game. That game. Yeah I have been following the sports blog ob the tribune and saw that the videoboard was installed. So I am assuming that this was the third phase that was just finished and the fourth phase is waiting to be completed. I cannot wait til it is completed.

And they need this big of a stadium why???

They do not need the complete build out tomorrow, that is why it is a four phased expanson. It is called building a program. See our program is on the way up and building. Which way is YSU going?

That is definitely true. You cannot live in the past with championships that were won over ten years ago. I am have always been a fan of Cal Poly football and grown up around it and they have always been a program to be reckoned with and has been up and coming. Last year was a bad season but I think they will recover. I definitely think YSU is not as relevant as they used to be. Especially with that lopsided stadium on the home side. I don't know what idiot thought of designing this weird home side but it looks utterly stupid. It was fun have LU beating you guys on your home turn a couple of years ago with the winning field goal through the upright. Matt Bevins won the game and we had our NFL running back at the game tearing up the D-line.

We weren't as relevant under Heacock because he could not recruit if his life depended on it. The new coach brought in a staff of 7 FBS assistants, 1 FCS assistant, and 2 local high school coaches.

He already brought in a 4-star, 3-star, and a number of 2-star's in the most recent recruiting class. Per Capita, Youngstown, OH has some of the most Division 1 football players in college football today. Just this past year, 30 local players went to FBS/FCS schools. Our area is only around 500,000 people.
