Impressive...hopefully our renovations will make a similar impact. I'm surprised how much is centered around Row the boat? I guess any new coaches down the line will have to adopt the slogan? Otherwise, a lot of paint and graphics will be needed to cover it all up. Anyhow...looks awesome.

No matter what these videos show there is NO comparison to the UT FB legacy, Period. Waldo Stadium Press Box still looks small time and they better hope that the next head coach LOVES the RTB theme. Oh boy.

Agree, Western's facilities aren't that great. I was in their weight room about 10 years ago. It was under the stands. Might still be there.

Which I suppose makes their recent recruiting success all the more remarkable. Still a long ways to Feb. 2015 but they are off to a good start and no doubt that their last class was clearly at the top of the MAC. Still the proof will be in how many MAC championships (if any) they get in the next 4 years.

Very, very nice, but does it seem like it might even be a little overdone?

It's crazy that this row the boat stuff is cheesy and dumb to everyone in the college football world except WMU and their players and recruits. I honestly was hoping to see that they were adding some sort of pirate ship to their stadium like I believe the Buccaneers have. Can they please add that?

A little dinghy might be more appropriate.

I think the dinghy is parked under the stairs as part of the renovation....I don't get it at all.

RE: WMU Football Renovations
I have seen the renderings of our endzone facility and it is going to look amazing. The stone will match other campus buildings including the old Endzone towers at the Glass Bowl. Further the two ends and the entrance to the Glass Bowl will be arched to match those same Old Endzone towers. A very well done job with the architecture.

WMU did a nice job with this. Looks like they spared no expense. These improvements just make the MAC more competitive.

Looking forward to the Larimar Complex pics. 04-rock
