    I've heard they are only doing the first deck on the east side so they could keep the same amount of student seats. A tear down and rebuild would have meant moving seating to current code of 24" vs 18" separation and less seats on the student side. We really are a fatter society. Also, when the east side stands were demolished that dirt hasn't seen sunlight since the 20s.

    Enough ROW for emergency vehicles.

    Then the majority probably didn't understand the major risks involved with a tunnel option. I didn't until I actually read about it. People making comments say what they want, but people studying the issue actually know what's feasible and what isn't feasible.

    I'm in Two Allen. The buildings are actually fairly efficient office space and they are having some success renting to multi-tenant floors. The problem is they lost (Hess, Devon, Kinder Morgan) all in the span of a few years. That's pretty devastating. The leasing claimed that One Allen is the only building getting a redo. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm looking at fairly large stone on the exterior of the building right now, and a glass facade seems really tricky and expensive.

    It's kind of hard to have renderings of 600 acre park without making it cartoonish. Otherwise your renderings would show very little of the overall plan, or you would have way too many of them to really get people interested. I think what I see looks like a good plan.

    Fully done for 2015 season. Next season will be anomaly though as they will construct the South endzone expansion and will not have made the modifications to the West/East side that will remove seats and add suites. Next year the capacity will be 109,000 for one season until 2015 where it will be 102,500

    my company has a membership, and they claim to be staying put last time we asked. I don't know how, but that's what they are saying.

    I think I prefer the more spread out uptown view actually.

    The city tried to convince us that burying lines wasn't good because Houston floods. Then Ike came along and all the neighborhoods with underground utilities never lost power. Uptown for example. Meanwhile the rest of us went without for a week or more.

    Then come up with a plan that isn't asking everyone else to pay for it. If it's so important to all these people, money would be pouring in from preservationists. But it clearly isn't.

    Supposed to be redesigning the lobby to be more open and glass (like the redo of El Paso building is how the leasing manager described to me). I don't remember but may also be trying to redo to make the lobby street level instead of on the 2nd floor in the current layout.

    This group should try to actually visit that course on a Saturday or Sunday morning. When I played golf there you could hear extremely loud music and a girl barking the Fiesta deals of the day through a loud speaker non-stop. It is anything but serene.

    That's why I hate the "community" liberals have created. It usually means a small minority are going to try and bully the masses into what they tell you is good for you. This new concept of community is just an erosion of personal freedom.

    It's a pretty modern building as is. What exactly needs renovation?

    No kidding. I feel good that I picked the exact same winners she did but got waxed on the confidence points.

    At this point, just the old Texaco building reno is a big win. The additional tower is icing on the cake. I don't think anyone here would have put money on that building surviving five years ago.

    What's with all the good luck? I wish everyone here a proper beat down.

    Um, ok. I was just ribbing you, but you seem oddly steadfast in being clearly wrong

    This is talking about COH ceding territory to Katy. I was expecting the other way around
