All we need is some dynamite and we can tear down the stands. What if we kept the actual playing field in tact and just redid the rest around it? Maybe making somet more parking across I-35 and have shuttle services over to the stadium or something. I donno just thoughts.

Man, you're bring back a subject that has been discussed ad nauseam on this board. But, why not? I always thought it would be a good idea to tear down the west stands, remove the track, move the field about 50 feet closer to the east side and build 15 - 18,000 new seats on the west side. We could just leave those erector sets in the endzones for the time being. Then, close in one or both ends down the road sometime when more seats are needed and more money is available.

As far as fouts goes. We should demolish the stands and enclose the track and field making it an indoor practice facility. If the track was open to students and the field was used for intramurals maybe it could be paid with student service fees.

The plans are for a new Fouts Field on the west side of I-35 and the current location will be a structured parking lot.

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Wow a sobering statement indeed. This has to be having an energy effect on most programs. Will college football actually become less popular? I mean the power programs say no way, never. I am not so sure about this. It won’t go as niche as golf. But investment works 2 ways. GMG

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      From where Jimbo Fisher sits now, after years of coaching high-level college football programs, he sees a clear divide between the well-resourced programs in the SEC, Big Ten and a few other conferences and the rest of the world of college football. He went so far as to allude to certain FBS schools functionally becoming developmental stops. “Here’s what’s happening, all of your mid-majors and a lot of your not-mid-majors, I’m going to say some of your ACC, Big 12, old Pac-12, some of those leagues, they’re becoming glorified junior colleges,” Fisher said. “And some of those teams used to battle for playoffs and have great teams. They took that three-star guy or that four-star guy you missed and they developed him into a heck of a player and he became a great player at their school. Fisher used arguably the best football player currently alive to make his argument: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was drafted out of Texas Tech with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. “How about Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech? Would he have ever stayed at Texas Tech? Somebody would have came and got him,” Fisher said. “You know what I’m saying? And what’s happening, your haves are out there saying, ‘OK, I need a corner and I need a tackle and I need a running back.’ And they’re going to these four-year schools and just selecting, and those guys are really becoming glorified junior colleges, and it’s a shame. I mean great college football programs that have won big in the past and have had tremendously great players. But that what’s changed.” Link: https://www.on3.com/news/jimbo-fisher-claims-some-conferences-are-becoming-glorified-junior-colleges/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rlzMeo_cEPD6TpbFAWoEUVqgpt_yqatMT52gyT6HICo_nyEvr2nFGOKc_aem_AfsuZvKQBBs_SzhuB_qg2qO7ZdN1vheq_Ks56BhKzhGA_HOPkEAyCuXzJk-zHgdQwWoqZ88nbNvoDCh4vmow0o4n
