My point exactly. You don’t know shit. Don’t even know who operates your own facility to keep it locked up
But arn't y'all constantly requesting funds from the state for upkeep?

The metric I input was schools that played their home football games a mile or greater from their campus, and do not own the stadium. If any of those schools don't have first right of refusal to game dates they are in the same shape as my TSU.
I'm not sure what you heard, but some home games had to be moved to other venues due to scheduling conflicts with Houston Dynamo FC. They have the first right of refusal for game dates at Shell Energy Stadium.

Yeah JSU owns the Vet
Their problem isn't owning the stadium. It's upkeep and Mississippi refusing to build them a new stadium. It would probably cost over $100 million to modernize the Vet (including repairing the closed section) and the state ain't doing that. But we know UMMC wants that real estate the Vet sits on so JSU can afford to wait it out (my concern is that the stadium is deemed dangerous like Rice-Totten was in 2010 and they are stuck without a stadium until the Vet is totally repaired).
Yea The Vet is a snaggy tooth stadium now.

Honestly I don't have a problem with Texas Southern using the Dynamo's stadium. My concern is what the problem with Texas Southern building stadium? Money...space...etc...

Are you asking on campus are anywhere near the campus?
The state and UMMC can wait it out and see when it gets condemned. Jsu don't have the funds to repair it and they will be without a stadium to play in.

Go Jags!
This is why it's so important to have private donors and alumni give back. I feel like at this point i feel like JSU should have had the ball rolling by now with their success of lately and the foundation prime started.
They don't want to attempt to do it themselves. They want the state to pay for the whole thing and that's not happening. They need to partner with UMMC and the state to get something done.

Founder, you didn't respond so I'll answer you anyway. You don't understand, but you're not by yourself. Unlike most schools in the SWAC, where football is king, that is not the case at my TSU. A stadium could have been built long ago, but decision makers have to be in place that care about football. A campus master plan exists to build a small capacity stadium on campus, 10,000 seats. A stadium that size could have been built long ago if people were in place that cared about football, sufficient space has been there for that all along. That fact that it hasn't, and the fact that some believe that is adequate is a result of having decision makers that couldn't possibly care less. When and if it will be built remains to be seen.
Off campus with more seating is a better option, in my opinion, but the same problem exists. My TSU needs someone that cares enough about football, cares enough about our athletic programs period and dreams big.
