Thoughts? Beautiful facility. Seats to 8.5K and has space for up to 12K fans (? I think). Opening fall 2017.

They had a nice open house event at a church here in Dallas, my son enjoyed it, their marketing is good
 
While shsu is over in Huntsville slapping lipstick on a pig, this will easily be the best facility of any Texas Southland Conference school.

ACU has been able to recruit some good athletes through the years. This will only help them.
 
The historic gifts comprise:
  • $30 million from alumni April and Mark Anthony of Dallas, Texas – the largest gift in ACU history. The Anthonys’ commitment includes $15 million for construction of an on-campus football stadium; $7 million for ACU’s College of Business Administration, where April and Mark studied; $5 million for a science and humanities building in honor of Robert R. Onstead; and $3 million in undesignated funds. April Anthony is a member of ACU’s Board of Trustees.

After receiving $55 million from three donors – including its largest gift ever – Abilene Christian University is embarking on a transformative initiative that will transform the campus in a way not seen for 50 years.

The historic gifts comprise:
  • $10 million from Kay Onstead of Houston, Texas, for a science center honoring her late husband, Robert Onstead, member of the ACU Board of Trustees from 1978-2004. The gift is the sixth-largest in ACU history.
  • $15 million from alumni Kathy and David D. Halbert of Colleyville, Texas, through the Caris Foundation, for a science research center that also honors David’s grandparents, the late Dean and Thelma Walling. David’s grandfather, Dean Walling, was an ACU trustee from 1976-83 and founding chair of the National Development Council during Design for Development campaigns that built numerous iconic buildings on the campus in the 1960s and ’70s. The Caris Foundation gift is the university’s third largest.

Wildcat Stadium will seat about 8,500 fans with overall space for about 12,000 people. The facility will include a number of amenities, including premium seating and accommodations for Game Day activities.
