Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

I am doing very well! I can't remember what my last update was for you guys. I'm still riding high from my last scan when they said I would have a consultation with the surgeon in January. At the beginning of treatment they said "less than 1% chance I ever qualify for surgery". The chemo has caused neuropathy in my feet so I'm a little slow but still getting around. Both of my kids are in for the holidays had undoubtedly helped my mood too.

I'm glad you asked so it gives me a chance to tell everyone on here that has prayed for me how much it has meant and that they are being answered. I am very grateful. God is good. Merry Christmas to all of you!!

That is great news, Brian. It sounds like you’re on a great trajectory and that Christmas will be special for you and your kids. Continued prayers for you and your family, and hope to see you in a couple of months.

Thank you for the smile you put on my face!

Merry Christmas!

Drove by LNS today. Going to be interesting to see what they get done in a little over a month. It’s still a hot mess around the perimeter.

I went by Saturday morning.

Looks completely stupid wedged in there. It’s literally sitting on top of fraternity houses. My daughter, who was home for Christmas, said ‘what the hell?”

I disagree.

I liked when the old baseball stadiums were wedged into city neighborhoods. This will have the same feel, except for the modern looking glass and steel at the top..

I think the fraternity houses's days are numbered. Those houses are aging out. Especially when you consider how young men typically use living space, and the fraternities are having trouble keeping their noses clean and are getting suspended or expelled form campus.

I suspect UT will sooner rather than later and build a fraternity park that more closely resembles the new sorority area on a tighter parcel of land instead of letting them sprawl along for blocks like an old shopping plaza. I would bet they would use only the western end of current fraternity park area and build a handful of 3-4 story houses. The current fraternities on the east end will be demolished and the will build replacement structures closer to Volunteer Boulevard with less parking. This will provide a large buffer for LNS.

But - again, I like the current set up. It's different and make LNS feel like part of campus rather than standing alone out the outskirts of campus.

I wonder if UT would build an indoor track facility on the eastern end of Fraternity Park? They need one.

Well said, Its an unusual vibe that kinda suits it. And you're right, the frat houses days are numbered, at least in their current configuration.

As desperate as they are for building space all over campus (and they are desperate), they'll work out something financially and do exactly what you said to free up some of that critical space.

Just where are they going to build this? Are they going to build an Island in the river?

What would REALLY make the LNS renovation take that next step to being outstanding would be to replace that archaic and old jumbotron board and replace it with a stater of the art screen that would blow away that excuse of a board they currently have mounted over the outfield wall. That fossil is an embarrassment and needs replaced or this renovation will be coming up short.

You do realize the board is new?
