[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1470210, member: 746137"] I usually roll my eyes at "it's for the teens" stuff being peddled by old farts like us, but I do agree that architectural aesthetics tends to be something that goes right over the head of young people. The Northwestern facility is much more pitched to take the breath away of the demographic of sports journalists, not football recruits. I'm gonna have to see ours in person to really judge, and I hope it doesn't detract too much from the majesty of MS' east exterior, but ultimately, a utilitarian facility that has all the right stuff inside will be good enough. To the point about the stupid arms race, we were one of the few where our existing facilities were getting to be genuinely inadequate for the size and complexity of operations of a modern major college football team.
