USF athletics is doing something very special for the USF fans, they are making all of the events free to the public this weekend. Yes, all events this weekend in the new complex are open to the public. Which means it will be a full house for the teams as they open up the home season and look to get back on track after tough weekends on the road last week.

The new stadiums are going to be some of the top stadiums not only in the state but in the nation as well. USF designers have also upgraded the center plaza and concession area that will make the viewing experience very exciting: (From www.gousfbulls.com)

"The new stadiums are part of a unique shared complex that will allow fans to freely travel from one stadium to the other. There is a common entrance plaza leading to a shared ticket booth with concourses that flow outside and in between both parks. Each stadium has two hospitality pavilions, one along each baseline, while a 20-feet-high observation deck is centered between the two stadiums allowing views of both fields. There will also be a dedicated section for USF students. In addition, the stadiums also have shared food and beverage stands, a team store and restrooms."

This stadium complex is going to be an incredible moment in history for the programs and USF as well. Make sure to come to the games this weekend, admission is free, weather will be incredible, and there will even be a special student section during the games so make sure to paint up and cheer on the Bulls as they look to get back to winning.

  1. Have you ever seen the stadium? Not sure where you found photo, but doesn't look like that. Your rendering has field anchored in old corner. New stadium is rotated 90 degrees, doesn't have the building down left field line.
