Pictures of Tulsa's Stadium Renovation

Postby Stallion » Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:26 pm

At least they are getting rid of that god awful paint job but they got some real funky brick work going on themselves. Press Box, suites and Turf look first class but the place is just too small. Endzone facility is better too since they got rid of the high school looking erector set.

tulsa has made major upgrades... the campus looks much better in just two short years. the stone work that is being used on the stadium is consistent with the architecture throughout the campus

Stone work looks nice. That will be a major upgrade from what it use to look like. Nice job to the folks at Tulsa.

Any upgrades, would be an improvement to that dump. Will Tulsa have the smallest stadium in D-1?

What's the hangup with brick washing obsession?

And why the hell would you pimp Tulsa High's new digs on an SMU site?

They're still in Tulsa, and their "school" and stadium still suck.

Am I alone in thinking that this "renovated" stadium looks like an aging high school stadium with a new press box?

I think the brickwork inside the Stadium looks pretty high school.

I saw those pictures and thought Alamo Stadium in San Antonio may be along the same lines. Not the Alamo Dome, but the HS stadium where I believe the Gunslingers also played.
