....and there's our indoor football practice facility included as well. As long as everyone takes their cleats off at the door we should be good to go. Rick

LaLa should be in CUSA. San Antonio CC should not. In a fair world free of TV markets and politics, this would have happened. Sadly, that world is a fantasy.

And the wow factor can never be under-estimated, especially when you can put your HS & JUCO recruits on official visits in that hotel over-looking Apogee Stadium. GMG!

We tailgate on the old number 3/13 fairways. Plenty of room for the kids to run around, lots of trees to utilize when nature calls, but we miss the Mean Green march. That is the only negative. Maybe they could bring the team bus in from Bonnie Brae and drop them off somewhere over there for the march.

Just to clarify, I am 10000% behind this project and am thrilled. Just hope they come up with a tailgating plan B and think this through.

I'm guessing the Houlihan's will become a big hangout for pre-game...and post game... please don't compare this to a typical Houlihan's like you would see in the neighborhood. Think O'Connells by the OU stadium...

I wonder if the team will still use the hotel over by the Alliance airport?

It would be nice to see them make use of some of the greenspace as you could do that while not infringing on the Denia folks too much...

Which that reminds me the Denia gang is probably going to raise hell again with this bad boy coming into the neighborhood.

Could we make Denia happy with a better (and expanded) Bonnie Brae along with additional access roads to get our fans in and out of the Mean Green Village quicker on Game Days?

If so...................I VOTE LET'S MAKE ALL THE DENIA'ITES VERY, VERY HAPPY PEOPLE!

GMG!

I'm sort of interested on how this will affect The Hill...this is a pretty big facility.

Been thinking the same...if played properly, it could unify the tailgating scene into something more like the grove at ole miss. I love the Hill and those that occupy it but some more structure to how it is laid out and spaces for reserving, etc would probably do some good. And then leave the parking permit area and the grass behind it as the free for all it already is.

Plumm, you have made a couple of comments about traffic. I've always thought the traffic plan in place was excellent and got people out and on the road pretty quickly. Have you had other experiences?

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
