USC Announces New Football Building

The new football building we told you about a few weeks ago was unveiled today by USC.

No cost was announced but it will be three levels and a football practice field will be placed next to Howard Jones Field. This will cause a new Dedeaux Field to be pushed toward Vermont Ave.

The key in these renderings is USC mentions they are preliminary and subject to change. USC did not say when it would be built.

REACTION: Is this really necessary?

USC says the new performance center “will include three levels dedicated to team operations as well as a rooftop hospitality deck and player lounge.”

Other than a rooftop hospitality deck, weren’t these other things the main purpose of the McKay Center?

USC also said, “the new complex will feature student-athlete-centric spaces, including a new locker room, multiple player lounges, a recovery hub, nutritional support, sports sciences services, a weight room, a training room and an equipment room.”

Again, these things were supposed to be provided by the $70 million McKay Center.

It’s being built for two reasons: To please Lincoln Riley and show off to recruits.

Dedeaux Field will be about the same size as it currently is, but home plate and the stands will be near Vermont Ave. And normal students will be losing the tennis courts that were just beyond Dedeaux Field unless USC intends to place them somewhere else.

The tennis courts in the rendering are at Marks Stadium and not for regular students.

  1. Looks like a library. What idiot designed that mess?

    Looks like he or she plagiarized the blueprints of one of the Torrance Unified High School District libraries from the 70’s.

    1. Tebow, tell me great architect, what constitutes as a library design? Especially for a building on a University which carries a neo-classical design with columns and overlapping ceilings consistent with the same effects on other campus buildings?

      Maybe Torrance copied the look from USC? They both used the same architects.

  2. Wiley will likely be long-gone before plans get to any fruition point. And if built would it carry on the McKay name?

    1. PC needs a field/ building named in his honor. He brought USC football back to relevance for a period of time.

      1. Sorry Fake Gabby wanna be, but John McKay took USC football from irrelevance and secondary status to the campus across town and established it as the greatest program in the nation for 2 decades.

  3. AS long as the practice fields are longer than 80 yards. Maybe USC will allow UCLA to practice on them, when the Trojans aren’t using them, of course.

    1. Man those 100 yd. bozo practice fields sure helped the bozo FB chumps win the Vegas P-12 FB, CS and the Cotton Picker/Picking Bowl game.

      #I’m so impressed.

      Is it true TW, that rats and the homeless regularly take a dump on the bozo practice field?

      1. You mean the animals freed from the Ronald Reagan Hospital? Or the people freed from the J. P. Morgan Center? Something had to be done to remove the stink from all that Sam Gilbert mess. Or was it the sewer pipes that constantly burst at UCLA that causes that aroma? Either way, no one asked Carol Folt if Cal-Berkeley needs to approve anything. Kinda sucks being permanently second, doesn’t it?

      5. She really is.

        She cannot relate to grownups who give or take constructive criticism well. To her, everything is a personal attack and she responds like the mentally defective person she is….with rage. A shame she won’t get the professional help she desperately needs.

  5. With all the new buildings and the demolition of the dorms (Marks Tower and the other one I can’t remember), USC needs to expand the traditional campus.

    Jefferson Blvd. has historically been the northern boundary of the campus but USC needs to just take all the land north of that up to 30th Street. Demolish Cardinal Gardens and other buildings and USC can use all the land bounded by Vermont, McClintock and 30th Street and build new buildings, dorms or classrooms.

  6. Once again, Owns – the facilities at ucla look like a cardboard fort that some kids built. Superior? More like a ground level tree house. Win some NC’s and some Rosebowls and then come back and crow. Time to bring up basketball now, eh? Maybe after you pass the tin cup to pay for that lawsuit, you can swing a deal with Ikea and get some do it yourself furnishings for the Gutty playhouse.

    1. Gee 9000, that really hurt. FYI 9000, UCLA is the #1, US public university. Note 9000, the designation US, and abbreviation the United States. We don’t want you confused.

      Clown U, the Methodist scholastic dump, on the other hand, is what, really huge in Mainland China. Commie bureaucrats sent their progeny to Dumpster U to fill up a gross of memory sticks with free US intel gleaned from Clown U’s, 2nd rate library.

      SUCC is training the next generation of Communist intel officers. Let’s hear it for Dumpster U, the Methodist, money grubbing, piss poor, toilet paper, degree mill.

      #Jonniekin’s “Old Yellow Belly” Wayne must be rolling in his shallow, yellow stained grave.

  8. The rooftop hospitality deck and player lounge cannot be minimized. Let this new building be named “The Carol Folt Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”. Let it be done.

  9. The thing that I like about it is that it is evidence that the university is serious about its sports programs because I know that there are people in the administration who don’t want to spend money on sports, especially football.
