So I'm in Nashville with the wife for a few days this week visiting friends and went check out a semipro soccer game at Vanderbuilt's soccer stadium. While we're here I couldn't help but look at the Vandy facilities (the ones I could see) in comparison to LU's.
Soccer- our field is nicer but stands at Vandy are far more plentiful. Goal line to goal line with really nice bleachers with a nice press box. Permanent team benches. Solid led scoreboard. Also quite a bit more signage representing Vandy.
Baseball- from the outside looking in we're a step behind. It's a beautiful park. Turf looks pristine and the outfield seating is pretty legit. Obviously our stadium is incredible there is still room to grow should the demand be there.
Football- obviously much bigger but looks old. Turf looks fantastic. With the drawings previously posted that show glimpses of a potential tower on the student side of Williams Stadium I firmly believe we will have a better stadium than this SEC school. The practice field is insane. Turf is completely marked as the game field and also has two permanent viewing towers. But we have the indoor facility so they can have the painted turf.
As far as the basketball arena, it looks like every other brick square in the neighborhood. Very limited signage if any. In fact outside of signs at parking lots it's pretty hard to tell where campus starts and ends. Some roads do have the Vandy logo painted down the middle of the lanes but not all.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to stir a pot just thought I'd post my .02 on the facilities should anyone want something different to read.
