Its the same contractor that is building Jerryworld-HCB.
No doubt...wonder if it makes the Cowboys folks a little nervous.

I think these are the Star Telegram Press Pass seats. No wonder they are 50% off! Ouch!

The word "luxury" when located near the letters "TCU" is an oxymoron.

This is incredibly amusing. Thankfully it happened at night, but it's really funny.

There are so many shots I could take at your (cough...rinky dink...cough)stadium but I'll be the bigger man.  (All in good fun guys.)

Good point and sadly one I can relate to...

That contractor in particular has been rumored to underbid projects too FWIW. Makes sense that Jerry World is 400mil over budget.

It was also entertaining to listen to them try and figure out how engineers use factors of safety in design. Apparently, public safety goes out the window when you bid a project in Fort Worth...

That program is about to crumble. This is just the first sign. SMU is about to be good again and that's bad news for tcu. Players that once would have signed with the frogs are now going to be coming to the hilltop.

So, TCU has 30,000 more empty seats than we have. At least when we have 32,000 the place is full.

Those 30k they have empty (on a good day) are so high and out of range of the playing the the blimps shoot up to them. Only kids looking for a thrill go up there. Any serious refurb of that facility should begin with demolishing that awful deck. It's and awfully expensive shelter for the seats bewlo. And, now one wonders how safe it is.
Long live Thomas Sowell!

I believe that the new "luxury" boxes are being provided by Palm Harbour Homes.
