Anyone have an update on the current construction on campus?

What is the status of the Spence Park renovation project? I dream of the day that we can all tailgate on level ground. Spence Park is a disgrace and depressing to look at.

I need someone to explain to me why we continue to have the ugliest campus. I thought the MSC renovation was going to start a light stone and glass style, but then Kyle Field is all red brick. Someone showed me a picture of the new engineering renovation on Zachry, and it looks nothing like the MSC or Kyle Field. Are we just going to have a bunch of ugly buildings that look nothing like each other?

Have they discovered there are other native Texas trees besides just live oaks?

What do you expect on the E quad? Wisenbaker, DLEB and CVLB aren't ever going to look good.

I do hate red brick though.

Red brick is exclusive to athletic buildings (and Hotard Hall)...

Was watering the one blade of grass in the dirt spot where we set up in Spence the other day and saw some workers marking out where the lazy river is gonna go.

Should be done in 2022

Along the river (or pond), they should plant Bald Cypress and Sycamores, to give us that Guadalupe River feel

As they move up the hill they should plant rows of Native Pecan trees and then at the top there should be Shumard oaks.

All native species that provide their own uniqueness and fall color to the area

What's biting your ass? And what the hell is wrong with Spence Park? Leave it alone.

And if you want to see an ugly campus, drive to Lubbock.

Tech can be made fun of for a lot of thing but their campus doesn't look bad.

Realized the importance of letters in this post...

Consider, for your enjoyment:

Why spend time trying to fix and beautify the major park/green space on the main campus when you can spend millions building a hotel and conference center with a kick ass pool and 2 story bar?????

New Army Yo, flaunt that money, spend that cash, flash your swag

I don't care about Spence Park. It will just become commercialized as A&M takes over the tailgating there. West campus is where you are still free to have a good time.

Yep, would never even entertain the idea of moving to Spence. Reed Arena is the *****

Disagree. Plenty of fun at Spence plus closer location to Koldus and MSC for quick maneuvers and to my seats.

As a child, my folks had to park at far end of Olsen and walk over the tracks with me to get to our season ticket seats.

Walking and dodging trains is over rated.

They planted quite a few bald cypress trees and cedar elms on campus, fwiw. I'd like to see a bit more variety too but live oaks do have the advantage of being long lived and retaining leaves year round.

And don't forget the monkey grass. You can't have enough monkey grass on campus, apparently.

I KNOW! I've asked myself that question for years! I also had to eat crappy home made meals in the car, too, before anyone had even thought about something called "tailgating at Kyle"!

It was insufferable. Thank God for Jackie's arrival and better reserved parking on the right side of the tracks!

So now we hate the color of Kyle Field? by the way the brick isn't red.
