Anybody else see the CGI presentation showing the changes ie, the new tennis facility on the Mrs Baird's grounds and the new retail area where the current retail strip center is?????? Unbelievable how it is going to look...............

Saw it at Turner's "state of the union" address Friday evening........Don't know of a link........When completed, it will make Mockingbird look like an entrance onto the campus............

So, you mean when you drive West, or East I suppose as well, down Mockingbird, it looks like you're entering SMU's campus? In contrast to having to turn on to Bishop's Boulevard ti "enter" on to campus?

It would be cool to see an artist rendering of how this would look once completed.

He must be talking the southeast corner of campus, Mockingbird and Airline. Because I believe Mockingbird and Abbott/Bishop can't look any more like an entry to a campus.

Pretty much..........The outer walls of the outdoor tennis facility will face Central and Mockingbird looking very much like the outer walls of Ford Stadium...........
