Ain't that the truth. It shows you how minor league we are when we get excited about a power washing.Quote:

Resealing (waterproofing) would help, example Texas Tech.

It was scheduled for last year but was postponed.
What we really need now is to have the stadium sealed again, as qng001 has pointed out. The last time we sealed was in 2000 when the handrails and ADA restrooms were added.
Yup. Also, going through the process of resealing will address a lot of other repairs (sealing expansion joints, fixing any cracks, repairing any hardware related issues from handrails to seats, etc).Quote:

Dern! when you put it this way, I'm kind of depressed (again) :(.Quote:

I like it when an Athletic Director, like Dooley, says something like, "This looks like a dump" and then goes out and finds $upport to get it done. (Joe Power washing, old Fieldhouse locker room are two examples). He didn't wait on anybody to show up with a deal.Quote:

No way. VP/AD Dr. Wood is the man. He just shows up, mens basketball team best season in over 30 years. Baseball team best season ever! Now The Joe is clean. :DQuote:
