Facilities matter and can make an impact

Also the use of them, and highlighting cool features as well.

I think everyone agrees that facilities matter and can make an impact.  But that doesn't negate the ridiculousness of it all.

I am not saying you have to go spend 10s of millions of dollars, but adding simple stuff like lighting and things of that sort you could easily bolster our facilities, even though there are many other areas that need fixing first.  Wins and donors is a solid start from all programs.

I'm pretty sure we'll be spending somewhere in the vicinity of 10 million dollars on facilities in the relatively near future.  I understand it's all part of keeping up with the Joneses.  If you don't keep up the pace, you get left behind.  But it is stupid.  I'd like to think that when I was 17 years old, I wouldn't have been swayed by superficial garbage like this.

Absolutely. The small details do matter for sure. But our issue is that overall our facility is tiny and needs significant expansions and renovations to be competitive with the schools we recruit against. We also need that Indoor Practice facility badly!

I think Baylor's locker room and athletic facilities should be well lighted and emergency phones near by.

I drove by Baylor's stadium a few times over the Christmas break, and I wasn't impressed so much as I was mortified.  That thing is way over the top.

That's impressive.  I wonder if they have any pics with the dog face filter?

Not really compared to other stadiums in the Big 12 and SEC.  On the inside it is not much more than Apogee with a second deck all the way around and the toilet seat on top.  It is a very nice football facility.

Compared to La Tech, Southern Miss, Tulsa, ULM, Troy, Arkansas State and even Kansas State and the stands where "normal" people sit at Denny Bryant. Apogee is damn nice.   Take it from someone who sat through recruiting visits at Fouts....
