Pumapayam Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Money well spent. The AT&T building in upper Kirby still has the SBC logo on the ground level, whereas the top of the building features the new logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubRedRaider Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 that scroll-type thing with the ladder in front of it in the second picture is apparently featuring lines of the "matador song" which is tech's alma mater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDubRedRaider Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i'd heard rumors that the turf was going to be red (ala boise state's blue), but i am GLAD to see that it's not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Red? Somebody was smoking something when they came up with that one. BTW, I'm pretty sure there's some NCAA guideline for field color following the Boise blue field rollout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Wow! That brick wall looks AWESOME!! 100% improvement. I can't wait to be there this year!On second inspection of the second set of pictures, it looks like the athletics building (building behind the student section in the middle photo) had a bit of a makeover too.

mrfootball Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 They're painting the Athletics building a tan color to match the bricks and exterior of the stadium. Looks a lot better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
