Final Admission That Amon Carter is an Ugly Dump

[Statler]

I read all 76 posts and not one post criticized the campus...

Slow day over there in F-Dubs, eh?

TCUseless campus?

Let's see.....

SMU = Georgian
TCUseless in Fort Worthless = Southwestern YUCK!

Nuff said

Has anyone been to the Rose Bowl? That place is a god-awful as well.

FrogFever,

While the renovation takes place, what discussion has there been about where the team will play their home games?

[SMU89]

Will they brick it in "early industrial ugly" to match the rest of campus?

Heard it was to be done in phases. the east side 1st and then the west side, so basically done over a 2 year period.

I actually had hoped they would preserve as much as possible of the old stadium, but in the end they thought it would be cheaper to raze the old and construct a new one. Really not enough info on the final design out yet, or even known if the designs are even finalized. The rendition on the media guide is not the most appealing design and easily to see many flaws in concept.

Will be interesting to see the final plans and a final schedule of construction.

if its gonna take 2 years to do that tiny place i could understand why they might need 175 million.

They have to budget time and money for any potential collapses.

that was an excellent prank, just above the bleached "pony up" from last year...i was thinking of something a little more permanent like the big papi jersey at the new yankee stadium

I think SMU should consider putting in real seats as
opposed to high school aluminum bleachers before
it can call another stadium an eye sore.


Clarification

I would assume that the description above is incorrect.

I've only seen pictures of the exterior of Ford Stadium.

As I recall the exterior is covered entirely with brick.

Therefore it would seem highly unlikely that the entire

inner structure of such a stadium would be composed

of aluminum bleachers.

hes actually right. its almost all bleachers. but it still blows me away that the entire project of Ford Stadium cost $42M (wikipedia) and the frogs wanna renovate their turd for 175+...

So, you are saying that SMU's Ford stadium is actually composed

entirely of "Friday Night Lights" aluminum bleachers that have been

cleverly hidden by an exterior facade of brick. No wonder the overall

cost was so incredibly CHEAP. It's somewhat tantamount to putting

lipstick on a pig. Those who play in a stadium with aluminum bleachers

have no room to throw stones.

I kind of like Smew's tinkertoy.

I'm still waiting for the day that you actually write someting on our board that's relevant. You continue to waste space.

That said, I really like TCU's baseball stadium -- best looking athletic facility on that campus.
