Probably kill the view that makes GB special, no?

My thought was think Game of Thrones. Even a mostly glass and green version to keep costs down but definitely bastians and gates and moats and dragons. Ok ,maybe forgo the moats and dragons but gates would be cool. They have those anyhow. Tower to tower and dungeons would add space. But I think probably the same roof height as at present.o

Yeah, when I win the lottery, the Glass Bowl is actually going to be, glass, with preset accents. Covered of course. With a moat. And falling waters down both sides that will freeze into the much needed sledding hill this campus seems not to have. How is it this campus doesn't have a hill for traying?

Because Ottawa Park was very convenient and you could run across Bancroft to The Blind Pig or The Stein to warm up back in the day.

Oh Yeah! See, I didn't go to UT in my younger live-on-campus years, so didn't put that together. To me, Ottawa Park was just a nice running track on which you had to be prepared to duck.

"loading dock...total cr@p"

no, no, he meant "moat gate." It'll look great. Team van backs up. Draw bridge drops. Van marrries to the barbicon (I googled). Boom, instant extended locker room.

Had my first legal beer at the Stein. Only had maybe a total of 4 beers throughout high school, but I didn't turn 18 until after my first semester of college.

There was a hill to the west of Larimer, but when they put in the newer stairs from lot 10 to the west stands they used most of that hill.

WR John Ross, one of Swick’s favorite targets, broke his arm traying down that hill. There was a pretty abrupt change of angle at the bottom,

Even if all they did was build a tunnel to other side of road

It wouldn't have to. Paint it up to match and plant a couple trees on each side. Form follows function.

RE: Larimer Complex
Not sure about Ross breaking his arm on the hill or as it was called back in the F X Lauterbur days...Mount Suribachi...many a run up the hill was required after screwups during practice...many a great time traying down the hill...the good old days!

RE: Larimer Complex
2 minute mark. What's that I see? Looks like U-Hall.





Figure to start in Lot 9 on the south side of the GB, you could splashdown in the Ottawa.

We went to one of these Der Stukas. Little girl guard, BIG guy ahead of me. "Sit down" he sat. "Cross your legs" (VERY important), He half crossed, said "changed my mind," started to stand up. She put her tiny little foot on his big'ol shoulder..and pushed. Very memorable screaming.
