Also add Tennis Court to list as well my Daughter trying to walk on and matches are at Dudley wow but we are moving to CAA.The move will haunt is for years.We have Ships that are use to Lakes but now they have to Sail in Oceans with one Motor. The Squeeze is not worth the Juice. I think our tennis courts are getting re-surfaced and using Dudley is temporary. Yep, getting re-surfaced.

Not enough room. The distance from Williams cafeteria to the end of the street is probably not even 80 yards. Plus those two young ladies in Holland Hall that actually want to study for exams will complain about all the noise from the practice field. Kids still use the Holland bowl for pick-up sports (at least). I was there for a basketball game and a bunch of guys were playing flag football with a big speaker for music. I've also seen kids playing soccer and understand that it happens quite a bit. Even if there's not enough room for an official soccer field or they don't want to go into the street, I think they should make it a turf field.

Any dollar we invest in putting a turf field inside the Holland Bowl is one less dollar allocated to practical stuff like the War Memorial renovation and Truist Stadium upgrades. Let's try to keep our eye on the prize.

Any conversation on how to pay for these things We're going to sell magic beans. If that doesn't provide all of the revenue, we're going to provide details of that capital campaign they're preparing.

1.Domed facility with practice field for football and indoor track. 2. Contract with NC State's Ag Department to maintain our stadium grass 3. Complete renovations at "The War" 4. Add and improve concession stands in stadium. NC State's Ag Dept! Not sure if it's till going on, but we've previously had some kind of Ag partnership with them. I remember riding in Raleigh some years ago and seeing one of their Ag trucks with our logo and theirs on the door.

Any conversation on how to pay for these things Since this is basically a dream list proposed by some fans on a web page I don't know that details are necessary since we have no idea if any of these wished for items are in line with what the administration plans to do. That being typed, the administration has pushed forward with the move to an "upscale" athletic conference and it's incumbent upon the administration to make sure we look and act the part. How they finance it is up to them. If they want to ask us for it, that fine, but they need to ask as opposed to expecting us to beg them to take our money. I'm still salty that an alumnus had to set up a fundraising table for a fundraising idea that was put forth by alumni ages ago and never really acted upon by the school. I do have to wonder what's on the administration's top five list though.

In the mean time our students are at Holland Bowl protesting the poor housing situation at this time. Just saw them protesting on the 6 pm news.
They have been talking about building a 5 story dorm for the last 100 years. How in the hell do you suppose they are going to build all of these athletic facilities and they can't even build a dorm.
Damn shame.

If we being honest we have a lot to fix all across the board. All though we house an insane amount of students some dorms need some love, band has been a huge part of the university but still doesn’t have a proper band room, everything on the athletic side idk where to start with that. It’s a lot

I’m not in Gboro, but the recent workout picture of the practice field looked good.

Damn shame. You realize to build a dorm, u have to have the land 1st. New dorms are coming. The foundation is still buying the neighborhood across from the baseball stadium
