Re: WT New Stadium

I wonder if this is why we built our new bathrooms so far away from the stadium.:confused:

Re: WT New Stadium

WT will have it's official Buffalo Stadium groundbreaking ceremony May 11th.

A fundraising campaign to finish out the Bain center, adjacent to the new stadium, will be rolled out soon (I've already received phone calls from the company doing the initial alum/fan contacts). I think we need about 4/5 million to finish it out in a absolutely top notch first class way. The dressing rooms, training rooms, film rooms, meeting rooms, coaches offices, Hall of Champions room, will be for several sports, not just football. There will be a large enclosed runway leading from the facility to Buffalo Stadium that the football team will pass through on game day. The walls will be decorated with trophies and professional graphics highlighting great WT players and games from the past. That should be pretty cool.

So if you have to hire Uber to get you to a head, does Uber then have to be in compliance with ADA? If you pee your pants does that then trigger a lawsuit?

Just cut 'em a check, Boss. ;)

Sounds like it will be very nice.

It'll have to be a small check. I've had a lot of new equipment to buy; 3 Subway drive thru interactive kiosks, lot's of equipment replacement, and a store remodel in the past couple of months. You'd be shocked at how much it all cost. :crying:

And, yes, it's going to be a top notch complex when it's all finished.

Re: WT New Stadium

Lets's Just get Happy State Bank or First United Bank to finish out the fundraising and name it the Happy State Bank Hall of Champions .. Has a nice ring to it !

Any idea on the updated sketches for the stadium plans? I guess it may be awhile before those are public?

Re: WT New Stadium

Awesome, I appreciate it. I went through the agenda and attachments of the A&M meeting hoping for a sketch but no such luck

It was rolled out last Wed at a dinner at Amarillo Country Club. I couldn't make it, but will see it all on the 11th.

Interview with McBroom on a local sports podcast about the new stadium and future of WT athletics.

Gives good information about the planning and overall idea of the stadium.

Re: WT New Stadium

After listening to the podcast it had some good information. The new stadium suites location I thought was especially interesting. Sounds like WT won't have a cookie cutter stadium after all.

24:45 into the podcast

I enjoyed listening to the interview with AD McBroom & Kale Steed. Wish the AD & WT Buffs success with the upcoming season.

Re: WT New Stadium

McBroom stated in the podcast that initially the permanent seating will land between 8,500 - 9,000. This does not include seating on the south berm which will hold 1,500.
