Come on... The BUS stop is right in front of the Meadows Building and performance halls.
Next door is the Special Delivery space.

It is awesome. Yea, it's amazing if you haven't been on campus to see all the new construction and buildings. Then it's hard not to think about moody and others that need serious help...too bad some of the funds can't be steered in another direction.

true about moody, but, i like it the way it is..it is old but it so reminds me of Duke university basketball complex...very old and full of tradition...when you walk into moody it feels like your back in the 1940's...not that i would know but i like old school feel of athletics..now they could use some of the money and fix up the floor and inside where they play but id keep the rest the same.........but if i was a recruite all you would have to do is take me to the student new weight room and let me see all the blond's and women!!!!!!! oh buddy do i miss smu!

Moody is a wonderful place to watch college basketball.

I don't thing there are plans to change the actual arena, but to expand the outside walls to create wider corridors, update the restrooms and concessions and add more office space. At least I hope this is the plan. I love the arena area of Moody. No matter where you sit, you feel you are actually right on top of the game.

Come look at TCU's campus and you'll see why we manage to get the best students, athletes, faculty, and staff.

I sprained my ankle in a water-filled pothole at the Texas-TCU game in 1988. I went to the 2004 TCU game against Houston. I swear that same hole is still there.

At our football stadium? I don't deny it; I'm not surprised. That thing is over 75 years old and is currently under the books for renovation.

What a dump it is--a classic dump, however. :)

If you want to know where it is, it right where the visitors' side meets the endzone. My directions are kind of mixed up, but I think that would be the North endzone. TCU great Joe Breedlove picked me up; I think he was with Martina Navratralova.

Of course it's classic; or, at least, according to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. Sammy Baugh, Davy O'Brien, and LaDainian Tomlinson played on that field, in that house. Gary Patterson and Dutch Meyer coached on that field. Texas, Texas Tech, LSU and Texas A&M lost on that field.

That is defined as classic.
