Not having a T&F stadium has really hurt overall recruiting efforts for multiple sports. I'm glad that it is back.

Those are cute. 20 years later, aTm joins the rest of us.

But Arky renoed theirs 10 years ago. Time for another one.

Renoed what?
Softball is brand new and is arguably the best in the league.
Track is a jewel, outdoor and indoor.

After looking at the A&M renderings, our outdoor facility will continue to be the best in the SEC.

There is nothing nice about your campus...period.

You renovated your track 10 years ago. So welcome to something 20 years ago made no sense. No one in the SEC besides A&M & Ark have(or soon to have) elite track facilities. Arky's is getting a little stale compared to A&M's but that is expected.

You don't like Oak Trees? The finest College Football Stadium in the world? Historical buildings? Brand new state of the art buildings? Its far from perfect, but lets be real. LSU is minutes away from some ghetto arse area. Seems a little pot calling the kettle black here.

Hard to make everything look like a home and gardens with a campus this large. Over 5,000 acres (2x+ the size of yours).
There are some very nice parts though.

Arkansas also tore down a large track facility to build the new one. The renovation puts capacity at 10k including all of the suites. Not to mention we have the nation's premier indoor facility.
Arkansas facilities never get stale. It's a money train up here. The track facility was just upgraded again this past year with Monument Gardens, containing the names of Razorback Olympians and National Championship teams.
Don't belong in the same sentence together. Arkansas will always be a step above, no matter what you build.

By far. aTm when finally built, will have a nice one though. Definitely a step below Arkansas. Though, that is expected.

I don't really see what's so special about the Arkansas track facility.
Just looks like an old metal building to be honest

Old metal building?

The raised track is very cool but other than that it just looks like a regular metal beam building

Looking at the OP's pics, it looks like A&M is spending a lot of money to catch up to the rest of the top-half of the SEC. I know you guys are new to having nice facilities and it's cool that you're excited about it, but A&M is just on par with the rest of the SEC. Just on par.
SEC has been doing the arms race thing for years. You guys just started.
While your new-found athletic facilities renaissance might attract some recruits, your historically ugly campus might keep just as many away.
Your athletic facilities are beginning to be SEC-like.
Your ugly campus is very un-SEC.
Maybe work on that.

You understand that is just the indoor facility, right? Its also considered the fastest indoor track in the world.
With each post, you make yourself look dumber and dumber...or at least stupid on a subject you know nothing about.

Dude
The football stadium alone is better than 50% of the SEC's total facilities combined.
