He said in another straight from the hart the an indoor all encompassing athletics facility would go where wescot is and they would move the soccer field to pettus

Across central they plan on building admin buildings and graduate dorms and weird stuff like that

How big is regulation soccer field? I don't know if Pettus will hold one.

Because it's our Bad [deleted] home color of Classic Pony Express!

Hey I dont hate Red, although the huge shoulder stripes are awkward, but
I'm thrilled with this news, and the fact that we will keep red for road(maybe occasional red at home, who knows?) and maybe an Alternate and a new Helmet is great.
We wore white with red trim on the road in those great years, so sounds like that is plan again.

Hart's on the ball, and listens to the heartbeat of the fans. That's a vast improvement.

Could we not put an IPF on Pettus? Many IPFs are just 100 yards long, as opposed to the standard 120 yd field. Is that area not big enough?

Ugh no baseball, such a disappointment. I could honestly careless as I imagine majority of students for the other sports outside of the main 3 (football, basketball and baseball). I guess I'll have to be an aggie fan. For the others on here who like baseball, what team would you root for?

IMHO don't care about the Unis and yet that seems to be the only thing they can actually do

Lacrosse will be the next sport we add. It might be awhile.

I hate Title IX...

Honestly, SMU should drop soccer in exchange for baseball. College ball isn't the preferred route to becoming a professional soccer player anymore. The quality of college soccer is going down. Baseball would generate more revenue.

Good report answering questions- things we do know - need tons and tons of $$$$ for all this - dont really understand where it will come from, not the AAC
