Hopefully my 1977 brick hangs in there long enough for me to see it!
I think the projects are fine, it's just building projects that can't be easily and cheaply maintained because you know this is going to happen.
That's my #1 gripe about Cajun Field. Over the years people painted concrete, put up flagpoles, and do other things that I didn't think previously needed maintenance. Then something needs to be done to freshen these things up and things look pretty seedy for a while.
