You might find this interesting

Since WVU's stadium was built from the Jack Trice plans, thought you might find these two video clips of our SEZ project interesting.....or not. Some of the content is the same between the two clips.

Hey Clonz......I realize JTS was built 40+ years ago.....but do you know (or recall) if the stadium was constructed on more-or-less dead flat ground ??

I ask only because our twin was built on fairly rolling ground which was previously a golf course; and strictly speaking, the playing field would probably be characterized as sitting fairly well below the original grade (though I wouldn't know how deep).

In other words, is the current JTS playing field "at" the surrounding ground level ??

It was/is super flat ground. In fact, it is a flood plain for the Skunk River. Hilton Coliseum sits about 2,000' directly north of JTS and below is a video clip from the 2010 flood that had water 9' deep inside Hilton. At the 2:00 minute mark you are looking directly south towards JTS, but can't see it because of the trees. JTS field is actually lower than the grade outside of the stadium.
