They would probably release it if they weren't expecting that things will need to be scaled back or changed.

We have no buzz right now after going from 3-1 to 3-3 and are already huge dogs to UTSA.

Probably so.

I think UTSA will stomp us.

The Lego set is a Lego set…. Not an artists rendition. I wouldn’t put too much into the details. I think it’s very cool and have donated to get one… there aren’t very many of them available.

That said, President DesRoches today sent out a ‘save the date’ for November 6th regarding the announcement of The Gateway Project; A bold new era for Rice

Stay tuned

It looks like they've raised $21,000. I guess every little bit helps. I have my doubts that the Gateway Project has anything to do with the stadium. We'll see.

The Gateway Project has everything to do with the stadium and another athletic facility.

If we could get enough fans to fill the upper decks like they used to be in the 50s and 60s. I think that removing seats is defeatism.

Sure, modernize the electricity situation, improve concessions, power wash the stands, that sort of stuff... fix up the press box, whatever. Get a new PA system and replace the old scoreboard on top of the R Room. But how much can this really cost... certainly not a wild amount. If this stuff isn't affordable, then Rice is talking to the wrong contractors.

Why should the upper decks be torn down, unless they are going to collapse? What does it truly accomplish?

Fan experience.

We're so used to the upper decks, that we don't even realize how cavernous they make the stadium feel. All of those empty seats kill the game day atmosphere.

Once they're downsized, or gone altogether, the stadium will have a much more exciting and intimate feel. The awnings will help with that. The stadium will probably feel a lot more "closed in."

What we have right now is a gigantic open space the feels completely empty. What we'll have afterwards is a small, closed in space that feels more full. I think that's the goal, anyway.

This exactly. I like the upper decks, the front row of the upper deck with the rotting chairs is my favorite place to watch the games. But for games like the Bayou Bucket, it stinks to have your largest attendance in a decade still look half empty. Tulane gets that full house feeling for bringing in those same 30,000, Charlotte gets it for 15,000. Get rid of the East upper deck and now you'll see the Med Center in the distance instead of 10,000 empty seats while also seeing a more filled stadium

This.

My preference to not tearing down the upper east deck are solely based on cost/benefit and potential.... as in, if you had only 50mm to spend, what would you spend it on.... and my primary focus was on making the west side experience better

As we have now shifted all the home fans to the west, an empty east side is mostly really only an issue for visiting teams (and the Shaeffers, lol)... so I'm not really worried about seeing an empty upper east, if the west side looks and feels like it did against UH. Sure, in a simple yes/no binary, it's yes... but in a 'prioritization', it was not on the top of my personal preference list. Hell, we just moved the diving teams dry practice facility there, lol.

I have and do agree that the benefit of eliminating the upper east is a likely amazing view of campus and the med center from the now hopefully packed west side... AND I might add, a potentiallly very compelling view from the campus and med center of a very full west side.





BTW, for those of you who love Rice Stadium (like me)... there is something very clever and fun coming

A football player donated $50mm to the Stanford athletic dept. Any help from our past athletes or they dont give a damn about Rice? I know they have helped Rice baseball but what happen in football?

Stanford football has fallen down over the past few years, but from 2009-18 (10 seasons), the Cardinal was 102-32, including 3 trips to the Rose Bowl, and trips to the Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl. And that was in a power 5 conference. Rice has done nothing comparable ever.

In re the $21,000.... There are NUMEROUS opportunities for people to get involved at any level of interest or participation. The Gateway Project is mostly about major gifts and infrastructure. If that is your passion, there are opportunities. There are also sport specific projects like the SIGs and NIL as well as numerous individual projects that relate to overall health and wellness, educational and mentoring opportunities.

If you're not sure where to start or even 'how', Consider joining the Owl Club. I can say from first hand experience that the Owl Club today isn't remotely what it was in years past. While the following isn't a full/fair assessment, in simplest terms the Owl Club can be a starting point for helping anyone who wants to help in any way and on any level into action.

Too often on here, I see people often rightfully upset about things within athletics, but then nothing happens because they don't know what to do next.... you don't know how to help, short of writing a six or seven figure check... and even then, you may not know what projects are being worked on until they're already mostly 'done'... or you may feel that your $100 donation or showing up at a few games can't possibly make a difference... or maybe you have a company with a product or service that can create a win/win? Maybe the Owl Club can show you how it can?

Rice doesn't want to get 'Stanford', but we can certainly learn from their successes... and while they certainly got the hundreds of millions in donations and p5 money and an unreal location, there is more to their success than that. It started with something the we can easily copy.... and that is, if your sport doesn't have a path to millions in the pros... which is most Olympic sports.... then there shouldn't be ANY reason for you to not seek the best education possible.... and we are among the elite few. This not only invites great athletes, but you then surround that with a complete culture of wellness and sports enthusiast across campus.

Couple of things:
1) Only a relative few people know what the "Gateway Project" is. For most of us - and, yes, I'm an Owl Club donor at a high enough level to get a perk or three - the project is an email saying, "Give some money toward the $75000 goal of this mystery fund and we'll send you a model that doesn't even look like the stadium!".

Why has the Athletic Department become so secretive that it can't even tell the booster club where the money is going while they are soliciting it? That is NOT a path to success. To wit: the fundraiser a few years ago for women's sports upgrades like new lockers etc. was transparent and specific. They raised a fair amount of money - I, for one, was motivated to give.

2) Lately, feedback doesn't seem to go anywhere - for example, what I just wrote above. Another example is the pregame music volume in Tudor. Lots of people complaining for a few years now that the volume is too damn loud - no response, no explanation, no change.

No "mystery fund". The Lego set promotion was very clearly identified with the funds going toward the Owl Club. The Gateway Project is separate from the Owl Club and is about facilities. Prior to the official announcement on November 6th, most of those of us that know about it are major donors who have been approached to make significant 5-year pledges.

That's a marked contast to the Astros, who received a number of complaints at the start of the season (including screen shots of decibel readings) that the new sound system in Daikin Park was too darn loud. Within a month or two, the volume was noticeably adjusted, and it has been quite reasonable ever since.

Perhaps the decibel readings (cross-referenced to OSHA regulations) were the key? In any case, the change is gratifying and appreciated.

And for the record, while I certainly shared the sentiment, I had nothing to do with this. I'm not one of the ones who helped make it happen, and I'm grateful to those who did.

I downloaded a Decibel Meter app on my cell phone last year and took several screen shots (of the needle in the red zone) at Tudor/Autry during the season and sent them to the athletic department. I will continue to do so and will not relent until they adjust the volume to a reasonable level.

That's fine. You might be surprised how many 'cost free' ways there are to support athletics including things as simple as retweets and likes. You never know whom in your contacts list might be able to do a lot more than you thought... if they only knew about something.... OR how much attention we might get from campus if something got a (relative) large number of 'likes' or follows.

Agreed 100% with Walt on his comments not quoted here. The $375 only goes to the Owl Club (and the cost of the Legos, lol)... which is essentially a relatively large staff of people whose primary purpose is to get more people involved in Rice athletics... in SOME fashion. The variety of ways that people can get involved is vast... hence the staff, and it includes things like campus and student advocacy as well as 'stadium improvements'.

It is clear to me that the ADs office hears us... but that doesn't necessarily translate into action for a vast variety of reasons.

In terms of solicitations for major gifts... this is my best explanation of giving to major gifts at Rice...

There are SIGs... which are fund used by the coaches for their purposes. Some of which are simple and ongoing like training supplements or coaching staff augmentation and some of which are relatively major in nature and you may get a specific ask.

There is also NIL, which is self-explanatory.

There is the Owl Club, which is a bit like funding the development office on campus...

THEN there is are endowed scholarship or coaching opportunities.

and major gifts.... and this would include the gateway project.

Bottom line is that because the gateway includes significant monies from the University, the only people initially privy to the details are people with the capacity to make major gifts.... and once those gifts are secured, the board votes to approve their portion and THEN the project is opened up to everyone else... and can also include new opportunities for unexpected but still significant asks for things 'in addition to' what the board approved.... and this is on its way.

I don't know if there are dollar amounts above which the board has more say over the solicitation or whether it is a 'nature of the ask', as in 'new lockers' don't change the footprint of the stadium so perhaps such an ask wouldn't require board involvement, but Tudor and Patterson did, so they were more quiet until they were mostly 'funded'.


If you'd like to know more about donor opportunities and/or you are looking for some 'project specific' ways to get involved, The Owl Club Staff is the place to express that sort of interest. Don't just think of them as 'the guys that give me the good parking in exchange for my donation', but think of them as the gatekeepers for ALL of our athletic fundraising.

Rice Stadium was already shrunken. Also the new stadium at Baylor is smaller than the old one. Even TDECU has seen a slight reduction in seating since 2014. It is a trend all over the country to make stadiums nicer but smaller. Oregon State, Cal, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Tennessee, Memphis, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Florida State, Central Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Duke, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse have all reduced capacities as things like replacing bleachers with chair seating, club areas, and suites are added.
