He's probably more concerned with the location of the new track, not the old one.

 

Speaking of which, it makes perfect sense to put it closer to the indoor facility where Pepin spends most of his time. I have no idea what they're planning for Innovation Campus, but here are the two most likely locations for the new track, near as I can guess.

 

I also included (outlined in red) the new Gymnastics training facility going up at Devaney right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT - I've heard some people speculate that they would maybe put the new track somewhere near the soccer field. There is no room for that, at all.  Here's how crowded that little area is already.  It makes most sense to put the track where the old horse racing track was. There's better parking, and a pretty decent space with leveled ground.

 

 

I was kind of hoping that moving the outdoor track to Innovation Campus would be an excuse to finally raze the Ice Box. What a dump that place has become.

Hasn't it always been kind of a dump?  It seems like a re-used fairground barn.  Are the Stars relocating to Breslow?

It's never been upscale by any means, but it's definitely gotten worse over the last decade. Moving the Stars to Breslow would probably work if it had more seating.

Probably, but notice that there's two floors on it that are above the top of the stands. Could be space for some new suites or something.

 

 

@schriznoeder I know that. I get your point, I just don't think it's as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.

 

I see what you're saying now must be something there!

Think it's probably overnight suites for donors

In response to the earlier questions, the main purpose is to add elevators and escalators for fans in North Stadium.  But they are also looking to add six suites as well.

Why post s#!t like this? Now every dipstick with a Twitter account thinks they're gonna have to fork over 80 bucks for the new facility

David Burn = Capo Valley?

1) I'd gladly shovel $80 to the University for this project. The ROI on this will be well worth it in terms of more than just money.

2) Everyone is welcome to say whatever they want, but I hope David Burn and others realize that an $80 investment won't make his opinions & criticisms carry much weight...

So would this be a Moos Knuckle? Asking for @GSG

And are they adding a parking garage, upper right, or is it already there and just off camera?

And uh, he’s not making an $80 investment.

That is the existing parking garage, just not shown in the current photo.
