Houston End Zone Facility

Postby Stallion » Thu Jun 26, 2008 3:59 pm

Every time I see one of these endzone facilities like UH, TCU, Tulsa etc I wonder why a rich guy would want to sit in the endzone in the first place. That's one thing Ford Stadium got right.

We're a little different - once AGCS is torn town - after this season - it'll be fully enclosed.

Who says that anyone 'rich' goes to UofH games...unless they're a fan of the Coogs' opposition?

You got an artist rendition of it for us, Froggie?

Nope... :( They're really keeping this under the table.

All I know is that it's being done from private donations - as opposed to the endowment or university spending - and that Danny Morrison's (our AD) goal is to make it "the Camden Yards of college football." It's likely that preliminary mock ups will be surfacing shortly, but that's anyone's guess.

Sounds like Morrison attended the Steve Orsini School of Athletic Directing and took the course on "71 Ways to Keep Your School's Fans in Suspense".

"Camden Yards"? Geez....nice ballpark but... :roll:
