At least you will be more comfortable while losing at home.

Renovating a stadium while retaining the original structure is typically more expensive than a full scale demolition and rebuild.

A&M spent as much for their football only weight facility as Bama spent for their all sport weight facility.
At A&M the non-football athletes got their own separate new weight training facility due to Netum Steed being torn down to make room for the stadium expansion.
The simple answer is that A&M will have better football facilities than any team in the SEC and this is beginning to positively impact recruiting.

Sounds sweet.
The SEC will have the majority of the best facilities, no doubt.
Just about all 14 teams are renovating, adding on, or building new or refurbished facilitites.
We already have 7 of the most historically iconic
loud, and tradition-laden stadiums in:
A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee - with the Swamp and Death Valley universally recognized alongside Oregon, Clemson's Death Valley and Ohio State as the loudest; and with Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, USC, and West Point for history and lore.
Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, Mizzou (all being renovated) Kentucky and South Carolina all have impressive stadiums as well.
The SEC boasts Kentucky, Arkansas, Vandy and
Tennessee as nationally respected basketball venues. Auburn has built a new facility, and many others are being renovated/refurbished/rebuilt including Ole Miss, A&M and LSU.
College baseball is dominated by the west coast, Southwest and especially in the SEC - who boasts 5 of the most impressive baseball stadiums in the nation:
Arkansas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Miss. State and LSU. And Auburn, Vandy and A&M are not far behind.

Not to mention we will be upgrading our facilities over the next few years also

No team will ever be able to compete with aTm again.

Not after we're done money-whipping every other school in this conference. It's already begun, and the pissy litlle sawed-off jealous attitudes in this thread prove it.

So agreeing with OP makes me jealous? Interesting. You would of thought I had horse collared you by your angry response.
Posted on 1/31/14 at 3:59 pm to RockyMtnTigerWDE
Why'd you have to bring that up? I was just starting to get over it. God dammit.

TAMU better be glad that they are in the SEC where they can have some of the best facilties on their campus,if they stayed in the big 12,they may not gotten to make all of these rentovations

You're probably partly right about that. The sleeping giant has awoken.

Yes we will!
Death Valley will seat 100,000 and have brand new exterior grounds features and facilities. And our weight rooms, football admin facilities, nutrition center, and practice facilites are second to NONE.
Pete Maravich Assembly Center is due for a renovation and already has added the beautiful new practice building annex.
And Alex Box Stadium may be the best college baseball facility in the nation, or at the very least in the Top 3 with Arkansas and South Carolina.
The LSU Cox Academic Center for Student Athletes has been called the prototype facility of its kind in the country by Wall Street Journal. NY Times and national educational assoications.

Our weight room is labeled "all sport", but every sport has their own weight room or is in process of getting their own (like the rowing team). I've never seen anyone but football players in our new weight room.

Oh you mean like in the last two minutes of the 4th quarter against you guys with the score 34-10 ???
We may have people leaving in the 4th quarter for the weenie teams, but not for SEC teams smartass.
I don't believe Kyle will have 110,000 for Sam Houston State either.
