USF’s on-campus football stadium "took a symbolic but significant step forward" yesterday when the board of trustees "signaled approval for a recommended site just north of the team’s current practice fields." Though no vote was taken and nothing "was finalized, the fact that talks have progressed this far is an indicator that the Bulls’ long-awaited pipe dream is getting closer to reality." A $5M pledge announced yesterday "helps, too." This site would also "allow USF to accomplish another long-term goal of adding an operations center, which could be built in the stadium or next to it." With one key question "seemingly answered, USF will turn its attention to the next two: how much, and when?" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 3/9).
