FORT COLLINS, COLO. (AP) -- Colorado State athletic director Jack Graham says any new football stadium on campus should be within 400 to 500 yards of the university's iconic, tree-filled Oval.

Graham's comments Wednesday to the Northern Colorado Commercial Association of Realtors gave hints of where he would like to see a new facility. He is co-chairing a committee studying whether the university should pursue an on-campus stadium.

The Coloradoan reports Graham says having an on-campus stadium is critical to creating a game-day tradition that boosts the university's reputation, alumni donations, out-of-state enrollment and economic benefits for the city of Fort Collins.

Graham also says the stadium should be easily accessible by bus, so people don't have to rely on cars to get there.
