actually more East Side renovation to match the West Side. They will also add the preferable suites between the endzones (rather than silly end zone facilities) to the East side. Should be started at end of this season. Seating capacity won't increase much-53,000 until they go onto the next phase which will add to the South End zone. Still don't like that Stadium too much because there is an excessive outward slope to the stands which takes the fans away from the field.

Are they leaving it in Lubbock or have they considered better areas of the State?

Having attend several games up in lubbock I will say Tech has done a nice job with the expansion of Jones Stadium. I think they have done a better job than what the folks 30 miles to the east of SMU are trying to do.

Must be what they are spending Leach's raise on.

You haven't even seen what we're trying to do...for heaven's sake, we're tearing down the whole dang thing.

I'm sure it has been said before, but when is TCU's stadium suppose to be completely finished?

People 30 miles east of SMU probably don't have much of a stadium to begin with.

You know, I thought the same thing about those end zone club seats/suites but I was up there last week and it's actually a much better view than I thought it would be. I'm sure you all will berate it regardless (as we do your glorified high school stadium:), but I am more positive about the addition now that I have actually seen it up close.

I spoke with somebody in the know over there about your stadium. He mentioned the Camden Yards line, too. He said they weren't tearing it down in December. He said that was nonsense. He said it was going to happen, but it was a multi-stage renovation project. Now, say what you will about my source, but I am pretty sure he knows what he is talking about.

...and unless I was removed from the project overnight, same here.

Oops, I mean to the West of SMU. So Sorry about that.
