Showing off our low budget Roost? You think we’d use a more professional looking location for a media event like the Patterson center auditorium. If we had built the Roost to its original scope I’d understand but it’s just an empty concession hut...

No kidding....I don’t really understand the logistics of The Roost. Basically just a square, empty building with a couple small bathrooms. Such a weird, disappointing use of money.

Every athletic building at Rice (Roost, EZF, Track/Soccer "facility") is downsized due mostly to the "Rice Tax." This is the doing of the administration.

I’ve always heard that but I really don’t understand the point of the current roost. The idea is fine, but the current space is an empty room where you can get $6 hot dogs. The tent was good enough for that. The original idea was a museum to showcase all of our trophies, all Americans and mlb players plus a full bar with outside space. At least that’s how I understood it. If you couldn’t afford that then just leave the tent until you can. Not it’d be more of a pain to expand than it would’ve been to just wait.

Do we have a recruiting space? I saw Illinois was adding a large recruiting space, and if a team that far down in the Big 10 is then I pretty much expect all p5 teams to have one.
