Miller / Moody Coliseum?

This is t*ts. Good news indeed. I've always been happy with the fact we have an awesome, historic, wonderful Coliseum that's been around since the Ike days. Now, we can keep the same building, and modernize it. Win, win, win.

Fantastic news for the program and SMU as a whole.

I think I would leave the front alone - it fits in with the "concept" - Mustangs to Doak Walker.
I'd tear out the whole North side and develop a really nice, oversized lobby area with some reprints of the basketball picture boards from Heritage Hall. Possibly a facade to complement the Crum Center but as much glass as possible to open/brighten it up.

Kind of a modern meets historic similar to what Crow did with Old Parkland hospital.[/quote]

What Crow did to Parkland is amazing - an architectural wonder - one of Dallas' best projects ever.

yes, the old Parkland Project went well and looks good with modern and red brick combined.

let's hope for some of that.

someone decided to give $20mm to SMU instead of the Gov't?

by **NickSMU17** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:07 pm

Maybe Miller got a nice refund this year....and put it all into moody...

by **Treadway21** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:39 pm

Is this attributable to our late success this year particularly the nice CIT Run? Whatever the catalyst, great news for the program and it just continues the positive momentum.

Think I would rather be a smart azs and eat the $6. LOL

I see the mustang club attempted. An ACH debit. For 20,000,000 it was declined because it was over my daily allowance. :-)
