That's no excuse. Chadron State rebuilt their stadium, and could have saved money by putting a track round the football field. But, instead, they are currently building a separate track facility
I also thought originally they were actually building a new stadium and having the field run north-south as every other field ever does. Why did they end up just renovating half of a stadium just as Adams State did.

Chadron hardly rebuilt their stadium, they basically put turf down and built a giant press box. No way they could have even kept the field the way it was and put a 10 lane track around it. There's literally a road directly behind where the visitor stands are now.

They moved the main grandstand about 15 feet to the south (more against the hill). They could have moved the grandstand another 50 feet to accommodate a track, but I suppose the costs of doing this would maybe be more than what they have done instead, which is building the track on south of the Chicoine Center at the base of the hill. Leveling off part of the hill for a track seemed like it would be more expensive than moving the grandstand another 50 feet to the south.

Who knows with constructions costs I guess, I was hoping they would build something new and turn the field but cost is obviously always #1 for nearly all D2 schools.

From what I've heard, there was a cost analysis done of turning the field, making it north/south like nearly every football field ever made, but I heard that the costs of doing so would have been double than what they've done. Overall, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't build a real visitor side, but, I think the new scoreboard is awesome, and the stadium is overall plenty big enough considering the size of school/town, etc.
