Concentrate on fixing the HS stadium first.

It's about time...the Tigers looked so dumb in that old high school stadium they used to play in.

Is any of that money going to be spent on upgrading the playing surface to real grass instead of the Astroturf ya'll have now? Astroturf, aside from potentially causing more injuries, is also recently found to have links to cancer and other negative health outcomes:

And what about that stupid concrete or some other hard surface sideline track-- easily could cause injury to any player especially if you get tackled on it.

Tackle box and guano removal kits are expensive.
I am likely in the minority of Aggies fans who agrees with you about the "tackle box" design, and wish that the big money Ags started from scratch and built a traditional horseshoe or oval design from the ground up when they plunked down a cool $485 million in 2013 for renovations and increasing capacity. As it is, we even moved the playing surface 18 feet and tore down and rebuilt parts of the original stadium that were standing since 1927, so it's not like there was no scope for building a new design from the ground up. It is what it is, I guess.

They might repurpose it as a homeless encampment.

I think the Aggies need to concentrate on making themselves useful in the SEC instead of living off the Johnny Manziel era.

From the stadium, financial resources, and brand name perspectives, A&M has done very well since moving to the SEC.
A&M and Mizzou have played 4 games against each other since joining the SEC and split them 2-2.
Since moving to the SEC, Texas A&M is 97-54.
Mizzou joined the same year and your record is: 77-65. You guys have had 5 losing seasons, A&M has had 1.
So I don't know where you come off with that talk.
And if it's just about the stadium, even then we had you beat if we were even your competition. Let your own past AD tell you:
quote:
Athletic director Ross Bjork, who formerly worked at Missouri from 1997 to 2003, said he was frequently asked about A&M and the SEC when conference realignment was in full swing while he was athletic director at Western Michigan. "Wow, that's perfect," he said. "The reason why is the size and scale of the institution, the flagship nature, the traditions, the fan support. I mean that's, that's really what the SEC is known for. I came to Kyle Field in 1998, 2000 and 2002 and saw the passion, the size and scale of Texas A&M and to me, there was really no place like it in the Big 12." Bjork said from afar, it was clear that Texas A&M was serious about providing the resources to compete in the SEC. "Kyle Field is the prime example of that," he added. "Normally people come and kind of retrofit, they add on pieces here and there. A&M decided to tear down three sides of the stadium and build, really, a brand-new stadium. Not many institutions do it that way."

Would be a great addition to the Big10 tradition.

I like how you cherry picked the last four games.
