Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5351037, member: 12253"] for all the improvements that they've made, which is true and deserve credit, there are still entire sections of bare concrete steps. it looks like a patchwork/half done update of a kitchen; new fridge, new stove, a couple new lights, old everything else... so unfortunately the changes don't look good, they look odd as long as the "cavernous" old is still there. A recruit would see the new and then see the old and see what I'm seeing... a facility without an identity. Some stadiums have done a good job marrying the past with the present. Problem is, that story is nice when your present is equal to or better than your past. In rice's case, their past is better than their present, and so that's not a charming story to recruits. The stadium says "we used to matter, we don't anymore". [/QUOTE]
