Palmeiro Center.

I know it's been said, time and time and time, again, but why in the world don't we make the Center look a LITTLE bit more aesthetically pleasing?

What brought this up was listening to the Renfroe interview from last night.

One of the legacies of the Templeton era. Every project was done as cheaply and half-*** as possible.

Because "Tin-Gym" is an architectural style***

The east side upper deck...........

was his crowning achievement. Wasn't built high enough. Can't support lights.........

I was wondering why our lights are so lousy ... expected an upgrade with all the other stadium improvements. So it's because the upper deck won't support lights. I guess they could use tall poles all the way to the ground ....

I wondered that about the DWS lighting too. I sit on the East side ad we only have 2 light poles pointed West---so from my point of view at night the West side looms really dark. But when I watch game replays (filmed from the West side looking East with multiple centered lights) the East side looks blazingly bright. I really think we needed the 2 big bright JumboTrons to illuminate the field better.

The Palmeiro Center needs a multimillion dollar renovation badly. I think it's the only thing Dan has wanted facility-wise that he hasn't gotten.

It's an angle issue with the lights

You need at least a 30-35 degree angle from the field not cause glare.

Especially those friggin' plywood walls or whatever they're made out of. That looks hideous.

I doubt anything happens with PC for a while, since we have the baseball stadium project next.

 

[dudehead]

We like a different sort of look in our buildings...

 

[leeinator]

It needs to be raised 30-40 feet so we can punt inside.

Hey.... there's that building named after the Arkansas TE who completed the 4th and 25 lateral at Ole Miss to end up winning the game for them. We should get a nice pic of him standing in front of it and send it to Yancy as a Thank You card!

Just hire me and I will design a bad *** indoor practice facility that will not look only like a metal building. Just takes money and the right opinion on what helps the team and recruiting.

You'd think with all the architecture, LA, and engineering majors on that campus we could've come up with something better than that to name for the former ceo of Dow Chemical.

 

[dannyripms]

What building is that?

 

[RocketDawg]

The Hunter Henry Alumni Center: http://www.hunterhenrycenter.msstate.edu/s/811/hunter-henry/start.aspx

Sort of an out of place building on our campus.

 

[00Dawg]

IIRC, that was designed by Mr. Henry's architect. I don't think the school had any input.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Seriously?
