^ Love it!
Yeah I don't think there's any need to shame AI visioning -- it makes it amazingly clear to show rather than tell, imo.pattimagee wrote: ↑3:20 PM - Apr 21I mean the stadium builds itself... would be so cool. This is definitely over done, but just to see how it translates.
This looks great!

That looks fantastic. I would love to see WashU or SLU add D1 football.
I don’t have much hope for the long term health of the UFL. The Battlehawks are the only team that draws decent crowds, and it seems like local interest is already waning. And the NFL is probably decades away from returning to St. Louis.
This is the only way to ensure St. Louis has competitive football in town for the foreseeable future.

I’m skeptical that either school would be able to deliver a competitive program in our lifetimes, even if they were considering it.
In an alternate reality where Wash U had a D1 team, there is no way you would get a stadium near Wash U's campus. They tried to get zoning in place for small athletic fields a couple of years ago, and the neighbors were highly opposed.

WashU’s North Campus would be a great site for it. Especially with it being transit accessible and having an adjacent entertainment corridor alreadyEcho_216 wrote:In an alternate reality where Wash U had a D1 team, there is no way you would get a stadium near Wash U's campus.

WashU certainly has the money to get an FCS Div 1 Football program and other Div 1 programs off the ground. It would just be all about whether they think it’s worth it to grow their name to ask donors for money that may otherwise have been asked for purposes of academics and research
Everyone wanted into high level athletics 15 years ago, now there is a higher bar to get there so I doubt WashU wants to

Ya know… I think people hear “D1 football” and immediately think SEC/Big Ten, but the FCS is a much smaller scale from what I'm reading... The jump from D3 to FCS isn’t nothing, but it’s not like trying to build a powerhouse overnight either.... and going from D3 to FCS D1 is probably only increasing their funding by 5X or maybe even less over time?addxb2 wrote: ↑7:20 PM - Apr 21I’m skeptical that either school would be able to deliver a competitive program in our lifetimes, even if they were considering it.
I would also wager if they were to use their architectural prowess to build a beautiful stadium they could do what STLCity did and just bring an elevated experience and I would bet people would show up to watch.
Get a local TV deal to grow, etc- 1,645
Pittsburgh looked fantastic during NFL draft coverage yesterday. Massive crowds mostly outside. I thought maybe 100k. Actually it was 320k attendance.

I am enjoying the schadenfreude.
