JJ is correct on all counts folks. UCONN had no state oversight and spent money like a drunken sailor. Here's the scoop as far as I know regarding the outdoor atheltic facilities at CCSU.

Dr. Miller was to have gone before the CSU Board of Trustees to get approval for the entire project. He felt that it should pass but I don't know what happened.

In order to increas the seating capacity of Arute, seats have to be constructed on the east side, which forces moving the soccer field futher east. The new field will have the same turf as the football field. Room is also needed for a badly needed running track around the soccer field, hence the reason for moving the field. The new east side seats at Arute will have some seating for soccer on the opposite side. In between the two seating configurations will be a locker room for soccer. I am sure that the lighting must be moved as well.

The baseball and softball fields must be realigned to accomodate the seating around Balf Savin. In someone's infinate wisdom, that picnic pavilion prevents the seats from wrapping around home plate in the field's current configuration. Home plate will probably be where first base is now.

When I received this info back in May, I was told this will all be done in 18 months. BUT...since we are not UCONN...don't hold your breath.

I will say though, Dr. Miller is committed to first class facilities, both academic (we can't forget that CCSU is a university) and athletic.

If I hear anything else, I will surely post it.



Thats all I know
