    Now . . . can the Aggies make the other three sides like the pressbox side?

    If you have donated personal seat license fees to the Aggie Club in the past decades for season tickets on the pressbox side, well . . . that just got blow up. And, your fees are going up.

    Last year as soon as the teams cleared the field, they started removing the sod from the field (sold it to fans) and began demo of the east side. This year it is the west side. They will have it rebuilt and ready for next season. (Spent Thanksgiving there for a family tailgate get together). That is what happens when Tech people move to TX and intermarry with the locals

    Aggies need to learn how to build stuff better.

    Did you see the price tag on Baylor's? Just as ridiculous.

    Aren't they supposed to value engineer the thing down to like $185,000,000? That's how it works, right?

    Most projects this size run over. I don't believe I ever worked on one that was under budget.

    Not being a contractor, architect, or engineer myself, I really don't know what I am talking about. I was searching for the correc verbiage to use when you say you are building a $400 million facility and it actually turns out to be a quarter of that. I know that TAMU won't do that because they fart $100 bills down there. However, we, the little people, dream of putting a project together and then actually having real money to be able to do it.

    Tulane build the stadium of our dreams for 75 Million. We need a 30k Horseshoe style stadium that can be added on once we hit the big time. I would take the other 400 million and put it towards our endowment.

    A medical and law school like Tulame would do it.
