But oh so true. And how many in-office fights will you have between Aggies and Tigers? The bleeping t-sips will have to restore order.

The whole concept of the Woodlands was pretty new back in the mid 90s with what was essentially one massive live and work neighborhood of about 40,000 residents at the time. Really neat area with very nice homes basically from $300,000 and up.


It was about 7 so it was already pretty dark when I went there so I didn't see much of The Woodlands but if the rest of the area is as nice as The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was, then damn.

Best concert venue I've been to by a damn mile.

Rupp Arena?


Well, other than not being owned by the university or even being on campus, it's probably the most famous structure associated with UK.

The correct answer is probably Memorial Hall.



If you want to use an athletic facility, then go with Memorial Coliseum. It's on campus and the school owns it.

I would consider The Main Building a landmark too, unfortunately that eyesore POT is going to be in every picture of it.



Also the library even though it's still pretty new.

POT is fricking awful. It's almost like it has been photoshopped in. It doesn't fit with any building around it.

It looks like a building designed and built in communist russia, then shipped over to kentucky.

The 60's were so modern....

Like 2/3 of the A&M campus (which was built mainly in the 1960's)?

This looks like something out of an ivy league school to me. Gotta admit, it is kinda impressive from this pic.

But I'll always love the look of our unique rooftops and oak trees.
Beautiful.

Oh, and then there's this,
our on-campus pool.

Easily Old Main for Arkansas...



Followed by the Senior Walk.



Then maybe the Chi-Omega Greek Theater?

Is there an older continuous college bar in the SEC than George's Majestic?

Since 1927:

Oh hell...that is horrible planning. The 1960s were terrible for architecture.

According to architecture students here at Arkansas, the Fine Arts building is the only architecturally significant, impressive building on campus.
Gimme a frickin break. Does this look like a landmark to anyone else?
It's a POS.

Edward Stone was the architect on that shitpile.

I hate that they consider it to be untouchable.

Carlson Terrace was also one of his works, but thankfully it was knocked the frick down for tailgating space.

I realize he was an early modernist architect with a great reputation, but I agree that building sucks arse. Arkansas has a good architecture school, though. That can be a blessing and a curse.
