quote:I think downtown Bryan was laid out on a north-south grid before the railroad came, and when it came, they pretty much threaded the right of way through that grid before resuming a NW/SE direction. As a result, the streets outside of downtown tend to be oriented either parallel with, or perpendicular to, the railroad.quote:It went north to south long ways, but faced west. Downtown Bryan streets are pretty much true to direction, the rest of the town is tilted..
The only building on campus that truly faced the north is now a parking lot.

not only is our stadium not symetrical, but now I find out it's not facing due North---and the Aggie Band announcer has been bold face lying to us all these years???? Are you F'ing kidding me? What a waste of money the remodel has been
Ive always said its better to run NE to SW.
Real black eye for the administration.

That elaboratin' sumbish...
"Material around the field is called PorousPave...basically recycled, ground up tires."
Won't that stuff just pull in the heat and bake anyone around it?

No.
It will absorb some light and heat up some but it wont bake anyone around it. Would you rather it be white?

I can't believe its coming to an end. I'm going to miss thread.

Since this is a place to ***** about things we don't like... I'm not a fan or the green fake turf next to the real stuff... 2 different shades of green... Should have made it white, or maroon.. Or black...
It's grey porous pave track. Not turf and not green. HTH.
Scotch took some new pics yesterday:
Looks like all of the exterior scaffolds are down. The rest of the work now is just finishing up the inside and site work (plus a little glazing and mullions).
There is still the track around the field to finish. The GREY track. Thats what I see.
That doggie scoreboard is embarrassing.

I'm going to wait and see what it looks like when the whole area is finished. I guess it's an ode to old Kyle, but I've never been crazy about the Rev/scoreboard bit.
Can't we just project a hologram scoreboard? That would be more appropriate for spiritual beings like dead dogs.
If the dogs can see through the ground then they can surely see the video board
After being buried/dug up/reburied/dug up/reburied, I don't think there's much left of the dogs to see the scoreboard.
What is the pillar going up outside the west main entrance?
Don't talk bax about the doggie scoreboard. Some asshat poster will show up and tell you that you're not a real Aggie for thinking its stupid

What is the pillar going up outside the west main entrance?
Love the skeletons. Haha.
But the single column and square base doesn't look like the column/arch with rectangular base in the pic and other mockups I've seen.
The book base is in question as well.

I believe it is a space portal.

I'm glad. We really need moar statues around Kyle.

Need moar pics!!
its not the education statue. if you go back to 15:02 on August 15th you'll see the last screenshot before it gets covered and it looks to be finished with an emblem or plaque.
Unless this is just the column piece for the statue. That piece was to be limestone or something and wasn't sculpted like the figures.
Column really looks like the front portion of the statue in question. Guess we will find out on Sept 11

And why do we need that statute outside of our Football stadium? It would go better on a different part of campus
I love the stadium design, but all the unexessary stuff that is being put around the stadium will take away from it. Keep it simple
