If they could take down just the upper east it would be awesome. The front of the upper west is already a great place to watch football. Without the east the view of the campus and med center would be awesome. Alas, I don't think it's possible to take it off easily.
The previous plan was to tear out and renovate the south endzone facilities. The plan that is moving forward is to do the building on the north, so it opens on both the field and the practice facility. I don't think there was ever a plan to include a field house/gymnasium. Tudor Fieldhouse had a $23mm makeover in 2007.
On the cover, middle of the top half, there is what appears to be a roller-coaster. From what I can tell, it would be on the south bank of White Oak Bayou. Anyone know anything about this?
