I know they bought a scoreboard only a couple years ago but that ugly thing needs to go. I can see the computer screens down on the scoreers table better than I can the scoreboard.

Good news. Excited about the future!

Indoor practice facility would be cool, but natatorium seems like a huge need

HALLELUJAH! I've been waiting for this day for a while. So glad this happening. Can't wait to see the plans, though I've heard what the general plans are for the better part of a decade.

If it were me dicataing the remodel, I'd extend the main lobby and enclose the current gathering space in front of Moody with a modern all glass facade, while respecting and keeping the current facade of Moody. Kind of a modern meets historic similar to what Crow did with Old Parkland hospital.

Like this but extended further out to cover the plaza...

Obviously widen the concourses and a club for season ticket holders would be cool. Also need to replace the seats.

Thanks to whoever donated the money, more than happy to donate some of my meager cash for a brick or something. Great news!

I think thisw was priority No. 1 -especially if SMU wants to improve whatever chances it might have for better conference affiliation.
