Why the delay in breaking ground on the football complex?
It’s been well over a year now since a football-only complex was reportedly in the works. During these last 15 months, no significant progress has been made toward breaking ground on the facility. So, what’s behind the delay?
For one, an unexpected coach change and a disappointing 7-6 season didn’t help move things along for what will be a multi-million-dollar project. Then there’s the constant debate as to whether the complex should be a stand-alone facility or whether the Moore Athletics Center should be renovated to serve the same purpose.
Ultimately, the biggest hurdle is coming up with a workable plan that doesn’t break the bank. Florida State University President John Thrasher told Warchant.com last week that school officials are “going to look at the slightly-less-gold standard” option for the football complex. Those comments didn’t go over well with many Seminole fans, who are tired of hearing that FSU is cheap when it comes to funding its ultra-popular football program. However, that simply isn’t the case here.
