Here is what Mississippi State just did. Best in the US. TCU Donors could beat it.

When Lupton was built, posters on this board talked about it like it was the new Taj Mahal. I suppose compared to the old TCU Diamond it was/is.
Rather than rebuild the stadium, I wonder if the baseball program wouldn't be better off trying to persuade TCU Donors, the ones that write big checks not small fry like me, to boost the endowment that supports need-based scholarships so that the whole student body, including of course baseball players, includes more people that can't afford full freight but won't qualify for academic scholarships.
Isn't that what Rice and Vandy do-- find need-based financial aid that's generally available, and in sufficient quantities that athletes on partial scholarships (or "preferred walk-ons"?) have an easier time covering the tab?
good idea and while i haven't run the numbers i am fairly sure the cost of a new stadium from the ground up would be cheaper that boosting the endowment to the level required.

The price tag exceeds 75$mm. (And you are correct abt the willingness.)You overstate the magnitude of TCU Baseball’s major donor group, and their ability or willingness to build a $50mm stadium. Just isn’t reality right now.

I prefer a figure over a stick. I don't agree with the current big girl trend... I mean fluffy girl trend. It's so unhealthy. But that girl is healthy in all the right ways.Tad on the Rubenesque/Kardashian side, but get the point...
I'd drink that warm beer and offer to suck the farts out of her arse...me for one, but each to their own i guess

Oil prices are back on the rise. TCU baseball looks like TCU baseball. TCU Athletics just sucked down what $113 million in donations from 400 families for the east side for about 2500-3500 seats. Money is always around TCU Athletics. You are underselling.
Ultimately, after all the academic cost realignment TCU just did and rightly so, I don't think Dr. Boschini would approve of a $60-$70 million dollar new Lupton Baseball Stadium unless the money was in hand.
