Master Plan had only tennis moving to Livingston behind the Bainton Field outfield. It never mentioned soccer or LAX moving to Livingston & those are on the Busch 2030 master plan.
I'm not sure what you're saying. I don't see anything in the Master Plan thay says soccer & LAX are moving. In fact, it's pretty clear in the Master Plan that it states quite the opposite in that they are expanding the soccer facility on Busch: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/rutu/genrel/auto_pdf/2014-15/misc_non_event/15-master-plan.pdf
Tennis has been on the master plan to be moved to Livingston as I mentioned above.
But the renderings released yesterday have tennis in the same building as Soccer and Lacrosse, which you sad is staying on Busch (unless I totally looked at them wrong).
Soccer & LAX are staying on Busch & will be the primary tenants/beneficiaries of the new Busch facility on Yurcak/blue lot, but it'll also have a tennis office & lockerroom because the tennis courts aren't moving to Livingston anytime soon & they deserve a nice place to use too. This also expands the potential donor pool with adding another sport like tennis. The 2 tennis rooms in the new facility are about 5% of the building & can easily be repurposed if/when tennis moves to Livingston.
That's an interesting thought but we likely don't have the space to add a 6th field over there for a separate turf LAX field & you probably need 4 practice fields. LAX should play on the rec turf fields across from Werblin, if they want turf, & maybe upgrade stands over there & build a new rec field elsewhere.
Got it. Thanks Leonard. So I'm assuming the tennis courts stay near the Hale Center as, well, right?Soccer & LAX are staying on Busch & will be the primary tenants/beneficiaries of the new Busch facility on Yurcak/blue lot, but it'll also have a tennis office & lockerroom because the tennis courts aren't moving to Livingston anytime soon & they deserve a nice place to use too.

This puts 5 teams in the new Busch facility & 5 teams in the new Livingston Multisport Complex, which is 10 of our 24 teams. Football facility is getting upgraded which makes 11 of 24. That's almost half of our teams getting new/upgraded practice & lounge facilities which opens it to a nice donor pool as well. Plus softball & baseball just started construction on their new practice facility so 13 of our 24 teams will get new/upgraded facilities which is nice.
You would not need incremental fields. Sub out a lacrosse practice field. Play and practice on the field turf. Lacrosse then goes 100% field turf.
You're welcome. Looks like they're staying there for now.
I don't know if that'd fit as you'd have to turn the fields. I like the idea though

Gymnastics & Volleyball are in the Livingston Multisport Complex with MBB, WBB & Wrestling, so Field Hockey, XC & T&F. I don't know enough about the swimming & golf facilities to know their conditions.
If we're bringing anything back start with Men's Swimming and Diving since it's more of a B1G-ish sport than any of the others ones cut. And we already have a pretty good facility for it.
