Don't get me started on Wally's Zone killing off the old tunnel... that could have been incorporated in the new design. Nix the two tunnels on each end and put in a central tunnel... same amount of seats but retain the old form/function of that end zone. Noooo... gotta put up the Trailer Siding Giant.

This x1000.

Excellent point.

It was always amazing to me that during this same period MLB had it's ballpark revolution and teams were seeing fans flock to the new beautiful stadiums vs the old cookie cutter ones that were replaced. And in the midst of that, A&M was building cookie cutter bullshite.

How such a true red white and blue school adopted soviet architecture is one of the best juxtaposition points of all for our fine university.

@TAMUEQUIPMENT posted this pic of the temp locker room, so apparently they have started those renovations.



ETA: I have to wonder if them being here led to Miles stealing because they don't have that little lock box to keep their valuables in.

"by the soccer field." I'm not sure exactly but my guess is just West of it across from Reed. Anyone on campus know?

Anytime I hear West Campus I think it's a giant pita to get to. I forget how much it's grown since 1993.

I do feel sorry for you sons of bitches that never got to experience the creamery.

That would make sense. The light standards in the background make me think its close to Penberthy

It would be totally to make those cushioned seats with A/c blowing on demand.
