I'm fine with the new plan. The corner kind of grew around the trees anyway, so trying to put new trees where the old ones were doesn't really make much sense. You're just putting trees there and a big part of their root base would be covered up by concrete.
It will get more of the crowd out of the intersection too by moving it back. They may not have to actually shut down the intersection after games anymore.

According to my former landscaping teacher, much of the cost will be due to tearing up the soil, and testing for traces of herbicide. To ensure they have replaced enough soil. Also replacement trees of this size cannot be purchased from a grower or nursery. So if the new trees are included in this price that explains a lot of the cost. If we use live oaks, we will have to go to the coast of Texas and offer a landowner a price he can't turn down and relocate the trees to Auburn. If we use overcup oaks we can shop locally and buy them from a more near homeowner, and relocate them. But either way, we have to move the trees which is very expensive.

Is it going to be ready for the fall?
