Facilities

The T&F must not be completed. I saw some workers in the building this last Tuesday. Also, what are those two panels on either side of the entrance. Is that for some kind of signage. Are maybe they are waiting for the Cox building to be removed....it sames that someone with a little clout can get the answers to all these questions for our AD.........(1) when will the APC be completed inside and out? (2) when will that trash called COX be removed? (3) Is the T&F/Soccer complex finished? (4) The fall baseball series is finish, why have you not started moving or replacing the lights? It was said that it would be started after the series. (5) Are the plans to start on the baseball stadium after this seasons last home game still going to happen? (6) Are we in the silent mode with all these operations or should we mind our own business?.......

(4) I have never heard anyone say it was starting IMMEDIATELY after the fall world series. With that said I've been told that material is arriving. Just because you don't see work being done doesn't mean it isn't happening. As long as it gets finished prior to Feb 19th were in good shape.
(5) I posted a while back that the administration had publically stated that months ago. Not sure what else they are suppose to do. Is there an expectation that they get on the news every night and keep saying plans haven't changed?? I have spoken to people with the project as recently as a few weeks ago and they still feel like we are on track for that time frame.

That is pretty impressive looking. Wonder why they didn't replace the red with gray to match the rest of the facility? Doesn't look right. I can see the APC, T&F/Soccer Facility, and SEZ project all starting to blend with similar looking construction. Thanks for posting.

Yes, the three do blend in very well. But certainly, of the three the T&F looks the best, IMHO.

Once the cox building is gone, the exterior of the APC is finished, the new sports plaza done and the new Tigue is completed.....it will look awesome, and will certainly rank among the best of the G5 programs.

And I agree wth the earlier poster that it would nice if the new sports plaza is modeled after the quad....with a smaller FDL fountain in the middle.

#4: I heard it.
#5: Just asking if the plans are still in effect to start the stadium after the last home game of
2016 season.

When we were doing nothing...or close to it, I could understand the bi___ing and complaining. Now with SO much having been done...new IPF, new athletics center, new softball stadium, new softball hitting facility, new soccer/T&F facility, new scoreboard, new end zone seating, new RV sites...we still have bi___ing and complaining. It wears on people.

I'm with you, this is a non issue.

Agreed. And to answer another of frenchies questions, I could be wrong but I think the two panels on either side of the entrance are just part of the design, and not for signage, etc.

I'm not a fan of the exteriors of our recent upgrades. If we are going to invest in facility upgrades, at least spend a little extra to make them look nice from outside.

[CajunRed]

You assume there were extra funds hanging around. There were not.

Bingo.... As a matter of fact it is my understanding that the admin went above and beyond in trying to accommodate some budget over runs for baseball.

My daughter has spent time in the APC and she says its complete except for some very minor touches. It's 99.8% done and I'd bet money they are waiting for the break to make it easier on all parties. I would not expect any exterior work to happen until Cox comes down and that only makes sense. Why bring in heavy equipment now and cause a major disruption and unneeded cost.

They are using the T&F facility but unsure of completion level. Good enough to use though.
