FIU Breaks Ground On New Football Stadium Release: 05/25/2007 MIAMI – Florida International University broke ground on the school’s new on-site football stadium Friday morning in a ceremony at the Golden Panthers’ old home, FIU Stadium. “It’s a great day to be a Golden Panther,” FIU Athletic Director Pete Garcia said. “This is an exciting day, and there will be only one day more exciting than this—when we kick off the some season playing the University of South Florida in September of 2008 in our brand new stadium.”
What we need in South Florida is a domed stadium capable of handling, Baseball, Football , Soccer and Indoor event. I propose we demolish the OB and start over. My recommendation would be a stadia that has the capability of transforming. 3 more fields on the outside of the stadium with the ability to revolve them into the inside at a touch of a button as needed. The dome should also be able to open and close.
