Mendez: TCU Needs to Build New Stadium

[Hoosierfrog]

Whether Schloss leaves or Not.

Good article in LeBreton’s Sportspage about stadium arms race.

Not sure if we’re allowed to attach full articles or not. If they don’t mind I’d Be happy to.

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Never mind...

 

[The TCU Football Jerk]

The college arms race has made things ridiculous.

How much is Carlos going to contribute?

 

[BABYFACE]

No, Carlos. TCU doesn’t need a new baseball stadium. Lupton is still one of the nicest stadiums around. Just continue with improvements and enhancements.

 

[Pharm Frog]

TCU needs a new stadium so the FWST can start writing articles about how much it costs to attend TCU while the athletics department is building nice stadiums. It's a trap....

Maybe Carlos needs to give us all free subscriptions to his site

How much is Carlos going to contribute?

Sometimes it's difficult to ascertain if the Star-Telegram is friend or foe.

Journalists are supposed to be antagonistic towards those in power. If you're being a friend to those with it, you are doing it wrong. No matter what side you fall on the political spectrum.

You realize Carlos got let go from the FWST a while ago right?

I was offered one.

I was offered one.

I offered them free publicity asking for nothing in return and never got the courtesy of a response

Mendez needs a new career

 

[lowfrog]

Well, we do need a new stadium -- a women's softball stadium.

No, as a matter of fact, it's pretty easy. Just look at all recent TCU articles.

Go check out UCLA's stadium (or Stanford's or Vandy's or NC State or ...) and then say Lupton needs to be torn down and is somehow holding back TCU.

for intramurals?

NCAA Division 1 women's softball in a Big 12 conference regular season and Big 12 championship tournament leading into the NCAA Division 1 post season toward an NCAA National Championship.

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

Rather TCU get a gymnastics team than a softball team.

OU reins free with no competition in Texas and there is so much talent just in the DFW area.

I hear from families all the time in Texas wishing a next step for their sons/daughters is for a Texas team , not University of North Texas, to add gymnastics so their kid doesn't have to go out of state. TCU would be winning national championships in no time.

Agree completely, and facility / equipment costs a fraction of building a softball stadium. You basically need a high school basketball size gym and some equipment. Well, that and a great set of coaches....
