Re: SIU's New Stadium

Kind of like Bohl has done in Fargo?

No, you see once Bohl regrows his beard and puts on sandals, all the Fargo-ites will realize they have Jesus on the sidelines and everything will magically turn around. It will be like the resurrection but in green and gold, while riding a bison.

Basically, think Book of Revelations but AWESOME!

ok landmark, enjoy jerry kill's recruits while they are still there, lennon will run it into the groudn after that.

lakes you sad, sad lil man don't you have to go wine about some paper in north dakota not covering your crappy program.

ya all lennon has done is bring in the indiana player of the year, a missouri all state quarterback, and a few others. Add in a few transfers that actually stay at siu longer than a week and i am not too worried about things here

Re: SIU's New Stadium

The new stadium looked great in the pictures I saw. Two questions for landmark. Was this stadium built around the same field where the old stadium was or did they build it in a new location? Also, how awesome was that fly by before the game? That had to have gotten the team and crowd pumped.

Is there SIU vs NDSU banter going on inside the walls of Panthernation? Does that mean that we have made it as a message board?

Its on a new location. It's just to the eat of the SIU arena. The old stadium is scheduled to be torn down as soon as the track is moved to its new location to make room for classroom and student service buildings. It has the newest generation of FieldTurf exactly like what the New England Patriots are using. The new stadium is part of an overall project called Saluki Way. It includes the stadium, remodeling of the SIU Arena, and the Boydston Center which will house the football and basketball teams new locker rooms on the first level and offices, meeting spaces, and a VIP/donors club area, team store and the hall of fame area. The Arena is on schedule and will look completely different then in the past. Video board scoreboard, no more wooden bleachers, and enclosed playing area.

The Fly over was epic
here is some video of it. The fly over is at the 2:30 mark

That's cool. Too bad they didn't get it coordinated with the National Anthem better. It would have really gotten people going.
