The field, looking at it seems rough but usable

When no one is in the stadium it looks bigger than it actually is, the   opponents  side looks rough, not much seating.

Over all the stadium is nice

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lot  happening here for events,
Considering that their isn’t much room for seating and the field is rough,
it would be more enjoyable for those who come to games/ events to be something new.
Having a new stadium means a new area to enjoy and bigger possibilities for hosting sporting events at one time.

# data[].attributes.body
Although promising. The cost of a new field seems very unrealistic, time is being put into something we don’t  necessarily   need to re do. When we can just add on to our current field more seating and improve the field.

-Off campus location
-Grass need much work.
-Ground needs re-leveling
-Bleachers need maintenance and updates
-not enough seating
-not enough parking
-Scoreboard needs updating
-Sky box is too small and needs updates
-Locker room needs updates, there are no showers in either of the locker rooms and they need expanded
-Jerry Ferris

Virtually every part of the stadium need attention and updates. The only thing that wouldn't need updated is the track which was resurfaced a couple of years ago. I think that having the stadium on campus would also benefit the football program. With almost every part of the existing stadium needing improvement I think we are better off starting from scratch.

Seating is limited

Parking is an issue

Overall space is compact

Where are concessions?

Sun to the west could be a problem for players

Little parking, ground seems uneven, not alot of seating, overall space is very limited.
The field seems functional overall but definately has seen better days.

After walking on the field,  it was uneven. And it seems like half the grass is dying.

Overall, it is great for morale and Dawg pride. The new stadium will draw fans who are curious to see the upgraded amenities. The high school is a Class A Dynasty and also deserves to join Western in this endeavor.

For- though UMW football doesn't bring in much of a crowd,  BCHS does draw in a good crowd. The stadium could also be used for other events,  such as graduation.

So much needs to be addressed with the current stadium that it may just be easier and cheaper yo build a new one. The new stadium could also draw in additional revenue which would allow the stadium to pay for itself.

The current stadium doesn't seem consistent with college level football.

# data[].attributes.body
A new stadium would be nice, but it seems like an awful big price tag for the construction and upkeep for a facility that will most likely be only utilized by the football team.   One can argue that the stadium could host other events such as concerts, but realistically...will it??

I would rather look into the costs of renovating the current field. I think these sorts of improvements could really re-brand the field to suit everyone’s needs.
- new turf
- new lights
- resealed and colored track
- better guest seating
- better advertising for school events
In reality 6 million is a lot of debt to incur on a small community like Dillon but, that doesn’t mean improvements can’t be made. The article describing the new stadium conditions also states that it would also be shared with Beaverhead County Highschool so why not just work with what’s already here? If we’re going to spend more money on UMW, I would focus on student housing and the BARC to improve student campus lifestyle

# data[].attributes.body
I’m not convinced a new stadium is the best way to improve the student experience at Western, or that the overall 6 million dollar goal is attainable. Before any real steps are taken, a very carefully calculated cost analysis should be done to get a more realistic idea of what a new updated stadium and maintenance will cost.

# data[].attributes.body
The stands are pretty generic and old. The field looks to be near decrepit. Looks like it can only handle one team playing on it. Too much of a high school look to be considered a college stadium

# data[].attributes.body
I really gotta say, the field just isn’t built for the college football level of play. Too muddy, too under maintained, limited access, etc. The cost is more a future investment for success than anything else
