I'm all for the renovation as long as they don't continue with that awful idea to charge thousands of dollars to tailgate along Houston... All that will turn into is ****ty corporate tailgates instead of the Ags that have been tailgating there for years.

Oh that's gonna happen. Don't get in the way of Sharp and a potential revenue stream...atmosphere be damned.

That's going to be a sad, disappointing situation if it comes to fruition.

Yep... to quote him, "can you imagine how much money we'd make?"

Premium tailgating and a huge lake. It'll look really nice, but might force a lot of tailgaters to West Campus.

they are gonna force students either over behind the Ag building by those dorms or over by the track and field area by those dorms. They carve out a little spot for students in Spence, but they'll sell most of the reallyh good spots.

It's a priority of the project is preserving free tailgating and student access. The "premium" area makes up a fraction of the overall space and the proceeds are intended to pay for maintenance so the grounds don't deteriorate.

Overall the net land area increases because the spoils from the lake carve are used to level off other areas that aren't usable today.

Bear in mind - tailgating may be important to a lot of folks here, but it only happens 6 days a year. The whole rest of the year this is a student venue and one of the first things prospective students, recruits and other visitors to campus see.
