Will also kill a bunch of tailgating space while they are at it. The area below will be taken up with this rough ridin' shanty.

Meanwhile, we we could have spent $2M on a football player lounge to rival Oklahoma State.

Well eff. That's where my family always tailgates every week. It worked out perfectly because we were always able to tailgate in the front row right next to Phil Titola & Mrs. Titola's (Mrs. Hamburg's sister) spot on the pavement. This information just ruined my day.

I guess we'll have to find a new place for you to eat my parents food and drink their beer.

why not practice in a local creek? scared to get wet during inclimate weather?

Such a pud move by our athletic department. I can't see any other BCS program that gives a damn about having an elite football team building a rough ridin' rowing facility right next to the football stadium in a tailgating parking lot.

Strangely, I was more upset at the different colored endzone turf.

What's the big deal? Just park somewhere else. Babies.

why didn't they put it by, like, the lake

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2013, 09:21:37 PM »

Guys, I talked to an insider in the athletic dept. who said they're going to allow elite tailgating INSIDE that place. You can bring boats and stuff. Imagine party cove with a roof on top and people who aren't ugly.

That's where the students tailgate. It's not about where you park, it's about taking away from the students. Screw the students tailgating at the biggest sporting events at a university, we don't want to keep our central place for all the students to gather. It's not like the purpose of the university is them.

If there was a reason that we needed another building near the stadium, it would be different, but there is no reason to build that there.

So the truth comes out? The rowing facility is a mere cover for comfy elite tailgating? Ingenious.

I can understand being upset about the allocation of $$$.

But there's plenty of room to tailgate. I've never encountered an issue where there wasn't enough room to tailgate as a student. Hell, let people park on those shitty rec softball outfields. Open up more of the sheep pen area. Anything, really.

NOT THAT PATCH OF GRASS!

Literally, the only thing we aren't lacking around the stadium is vacant patches of grass.

Agreed. If anything that few hundred square feet of land will make the student tail gates more compact, and therefore more fun.
