Coming in at #38
The reporter did get the Caboose thing wrong. It's not a concession stand, it's a high dollar suite.
They haven't done all of the DI parks yet, just half, with 153 more they plan to visit next season. Other SBC teams I see on the list
94 UTA
107 UALR
I can state that several of the SBC parks look a hell of a lot better than ours, from pictures I've seen; even if ours is fairly new. I imagine they'll rate fairly high when they are gotten to.
Other Texas DI schools

Wow we were ranked higher than Baylor? I've been there and can't agree with that. Ours would be better if the outside had a facade.
Stadium Journey, right up there with Bleacher Report
I think the area and fans probably helped us grade out higher

I bolded the ones I have been to and of those, would rank Rice #1, TCU #2, Texas #3, Baylor #4, Texas St #5, (Lamar would be slightly ahead of UTA IMHO) UTA #6, Sam #7, SFA #8 and UTSA #9.
The sad thing is, our renovations in the works for Clay Gould Ballpark would keep my list steady. It really shows the facility arms race isn't about upward mobility so much as keeping a school from falling further.
In the end though, I will take a top third facility.
EDIT: The list is missing UTPA.

They haven't been to them all yet. See my OP
Also missing: Dallas Baptist, Lamar (whom you mentioned), TAMUCC
Vincent-Beck was on the list from the link in the first post. I think Clay Gould and VB are neck-and-neck. Hopefully the renovations will happen soon and we can surpass them.
That's what I get or doing a copy/paste from our athletes site.
