For the purposes of this blog, please take the role of any one that could be effected by the potential of building an on campus stadium here at South Alabama. This blog will be where I will weigh the pros and cons of every vantage point of the potential project.
The University of South Alabama football program played it's first season in 2009 and in 2013 has become the fastest program ever to reach a bowl game. The program has been extremly succsessful in a short amount of time, this has lead to the University and the Athletic department to look into geting an on campus Facility. The University of South Alabama hires consultants for possible on-campus football stadium and could be seen attending the last two regular season games of the season. This would be a huge boost for the young football program in recruiting and in generating more excitement and support for their team in the coming years; but what does this mean for the Students of South Alabama? How Will This effect the residence of Mobile?Review the above article and give your thoughts on the potential new on campus stadium. Answer 1 of the following questions and share with the group your in depth analysis on the situation as a whole. Is this the right move for the University of South Alabama?
