it was reported over on warchant.com that the indoor tennis facility you guy mentioned might actually be an all sports indoor facility big enough for even the football team to practice in when there are lightning storms.  but they want to make it a versatile facility involving configurations for a bunch of other sports as well.  they even mentioned using it to host the national indoor track and field championships in the near future.  but something this big will take up space.  so there is lots of speculation as to where they would put it.  some are thinking moving the circus and building it there and incorporating the band practice field inside the facility.  others have said the space between the softball complex and the track and field complex.  still others have said the intramural fields.  should be interesting to see what happens with this in the coming months.  apparently it is to be completed by fall of next year.

You are mixing 2 seperate facilities.


The indoor tennis facility is going out at the Southwest Campus.


The indoor football facility (all sports) is going near Doak Cambell.


They are not the same facility.

^Do you know exactly where near Doak SJ?

New Chemistry Building Grand Opening on May 2

This looks like it will be a great building.  It appears that Holton (you guys remember that big fight) will not be moving into the new facility.  My favorite part of the article is the trolling/phishing done in the reader's comment section.

^  Haha, you're exactly right, Poonther.  How pathetic is it that Florida/TaureanJ/TJ/Toyota has to try and drum up some traffic on his website?  The FEW times I have been by there, I've seen no more than 2 people online.  One being me, the other being him hahaha.

sorry for the late response...I didn't see this.


Nobody knows yet.  But the football indoor facility (which might be used for other sports....but NOT tennis) will be very close to Doak.  My best guess is where the Circus is....and then maybe where the old IM fields are (but I don't see this so much).

Hey Poonther,

Did you notice that no more than 1 hour after my comment about traffic at TJ's website, he put up a counter showing registered members and vists, etc?  hahahaha.   I wonder how many of those visits are just him?  When you have a free site, it counts editing of pages by the administrator as visits. This goes to show that he still reads here regularly.  TJ, you may have your own site now, but you're still a puppet...and Im the puppeteer.



I also noticed that after you posted something yesterday it magically appeared on the competitive website very soon after.  Its strange that he has no sort of timestamp on his posts, so that it doesnt appear as if he's stealing info.  Its got to bug him to no end when someone beats him to info.  Hey Tj, go ahead and put a time stamp on the rest of your posts from now on (as GG begins pulling the puppet strings...).

Well well well. I walk by these projects every day. and its amazing how many projects have been going on at FSU the last couple years.


I guess, FSU had these massive projects set aside in the budget for a lOOOONg time, because they have probably spent close to a billion dollars in the last 2-3 years at FSU alone.

Every major project you see at FSU likely started 5 to 10 years ago MINIMUM.  Budgets at that level are very complicated and affects from major issues take many years.

Check out the plans for the new FSU Conference Center.  Here's the link: http://learningforli...onstruction.cfm

Just click near the lower left hand part of the site plan picture until you see the "play" button appear.  Hit "play" and watch the movie.  (Turn on the volume 'cause it's a talkie.)

For the record...

"Southwest Campus" is what the University is calling future developments in the Innovation Park area, currently home to Engineering, Mag Lab, Golf Course, WFSU, Alumni Village.

The new master plan calls for main campus to become primarily academic and housing; with most support services, athletics, research, and other ancillary activities moving to Southwest campus.

For example, the whole Maintenance Complex in the center of campus is slated for demolition and replacement with a new student union.

While this project isn't technically on campus, it's right across the street from it.

New life for the Sweet Shop?  This project comes before COT Site Plan review on 6.5.

Go-Green Sweet Shop Apartment Project (TPA080048) (21-35-40- A-0240) located on 0.10-acre at 701 West Jefferson St. The proposed project is the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a 5,000+ square foot commercial/retail building. The property is zoned UT (University Transition).

I'm confused a little b/c the project is entitled Apt. Project but when you read the description it states that it's going to be a 5k+ sq. ft. commercial/retail bldg.

Can anyone explain that one?

That is confusing poon! maybe they will submit in a two stage process with apartments being above the ground floor retail?

Where have u been poon? (sleeping at costco?)

^Glad to see that it wasn't just me that is confused by this proposal.  Maybe they will be submitting two separate plans, but I've never seen that done before for a single parcel.  Maybe they just left part of the info out inadvertently?  I  guess we'll have to stay tuned.

TD, I was kidnapped by the RRM for exposing them and was dropped off near the corner of Market and Van Ness.  So be careful out there.
