Re: Rutgers fan board on SMU attendance
What would it take to acquire this property between Martel and Ellsworth Ave... wouldn't be on campus but we could put something SMU related that faces 75 for marketing... I know someone mentioned a Times square look once before...

My understanding is that SMU is building something over there- but again, I could be wrong. It's happned before.

Ah. That's too bad because it would provide plenty of room for an IPF.

It's one potential site for softball if we ever decided to add baseball/softballEast Coast Mustang wrote:My understanding is that SMU is building something over there- but again, I could be wrong. It's happned before.

I live in that neighborhood and I doubt the neighborhood would let that city owned park go away without a battle royal.CalallenStang wrote:It's one potential site for softball if we ever decided to add baseball/softballEast Coast Mustang wrote:My understanding is that SMU is building something over there- but again, I could be wrong.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

If JJ wouldn't let the IPF be built where the old Mrs. Bairds was as the players would have to walk over to it, hard to see him letting it be built across 75. I believe that UT players are bused to their IPF from the locker room when they use it.CenTXpony wrote:Ah. That's too bad because it would provide plenty of room for an IPF.

The plan was for it to remain a city park; just one with a college softball stadiumPK wrote:I live in that neighborhood and I doubt the neighborhood would let that city owned park go away without a battle royal.CalallenStang wrote:It's one potential site for softball if we ever decided to add baseball/softballEast Coast Mustang wrote:My understanding is that SMU is building something over there- but again, I could be wrong.

I think Hart told me last year that they would like to build the IPF on the current Wescott site and they wanted to build a new soccer facility (along with other athletic facilities) on the east side of I-75. Not sure I remember that correctly but if so, there is still plenty of fundraising to do

I would love for SMU to make a deal with Dr. Pepper and make Dr. P's Mustang Ballpark in the old dr pepper factory spot near Kroger.
