I'm 50/50 on the new logo on the field, I think it'll grow on me once we see it.
Unfortunately, my first reaction was disappointment because we are putting in a new track and not really any closer to a better football facility. But, it needed to be done do I get it. We can still dream.
Not mentioned, but I'm really excited to see what comes of the basketball court when we change out the logo. There was talks of adding some pine trees.
As far as branding goes, I'm fine with adding the new logo to the field. Then you can put the old one on throwbacks, etc.
I'm 100% with you on splitting the track & football facilities asap, but we're probably a decade out from that i'd guess.
Back in 2015 or 2016 I remember having a conversation with a few very big people on the athletic department who told me that it was in the plans to move the track to the Intramural fields and do massive renovations to Homer Bryce stadium that would put the stands right up to the sideline. However the cost of that would've been astronomical, and they were worried that the construction would take too long. Apparently there was even talks for Nac High School's stadium to be the temporary home stadium if that was the case.
But those plans were under the old regime. I have no idea what, if any, current plans exist for the football facilities moving forward. Hopefully they keep removing the track in mind, but with the current track getting this redesign where it is, I highly doubt that.
Years before that I saw the actual plans of a new field house that came down over the current hill and over the current track. Similar to what you see at Texas State and a lot of places.
That was when Hill was the AD, and Branch was in charge of...too much. That was 2010ish, maybe earlier.
Going forward, I think that whatever plans that we put in place will come to fruition because we have a better AD, staff, and real fundraising capabilities.
