I get that, but SMU was starting with a building that was outstanding, but showing its age and in need of renovation. Buildings with character get renovated.

In contrast, TCU is starting with a round arena that has no character, flat sightlines or redeeming quality of any kind. Just like nobody renovates a 1972 Pinto Wagon, nobody renovates crappy buildings to the tune of $45-50m.

TCU is going to spend $50m and end up with the 2nd best college arena in Tarrant County.

According to the internet you are wrong on the Pinto comment.

Behold, the TCU of cars!
