Stop it. The IM Fields were expanded when the Army Armory building was torn down. Nobody complained then, when an existing building was "given" to the student body. Plus, it's possible that the new parking in the new building will replace some of the surface parking along Ponce, opening up...

There's a sliver of hope yet. Clearly, the connector from the new building, over the canal, and into the IPF, will take place at the point of the IPF expansion. So we KNOW that East Greentree will get shorter. The western Greentree field will remain the same. Therefore, the operative...

Nope. Dorms going up now.

YES! Had completely forgotten the name of that place in Bakery. Parallel Bar! Also went down to The Falls many times, loved walking around there. Not sure if you remember this, or if you've been a perfect gentleman your whole life, but there used to be a certain...bar...just north of The...

Yeah, the original Bakery Centre was interesting, I agree with you on the outer design, and then the inside was very Miami Vice-y. I went to that restaurant/club up in the top once with some of my fraternity brothers, and then some of the older fraternity brothers told us that a lot of the...

Oh, **** yeah, Bakery Centre/Sunset Place is definitely not big enough for a stadium. Would be a nice spot for UM campus expansion, but definitely not big enough or square enough for a stadium.

"The City"? You mean "The County"? There's a lot of political rule-making bodies in SoFla.

The Fuchs family built Holsum Bakery at that location, Red & Sunset & US 1. George Wilson (a UM alum and an alum of my fraternity) married Jane Fuchs, and he was the guy running Holsum when they sold that particular site (late 70s/early 80s?). I just remember that Bakery Centre was newly...

John Ruiz died?

I've heard that the residents of South Miami are going to protest the invasion of their air space...

I can't speak for every office. The current weight room is already two stories (and I've posted pix before). The "remodel" will definitely include the glass wall that will look out into the IPF. To the left of this picture is the IPF area (which is where the glass wall will go). To the...

There's already a plan for the new weight room, it will LARGELY fit in the existing space, but will be improved and slightly renovated and will "open up on" the IPF space. The weight room will be on the western side of the IPF. The lengthening of the IPF field will be on the eastern side of...

Not moving.

I've explained it multiple times. Nothing is being "displaced". Some things will be moved around. If you knew all of the puzzle pieces...

I don't think there will be any relocation of the IM fields. From the time when I was an undergrad, they actually got bigger when the Army Armory building was torn down. And there MIGHT be some additional space freed up when they tear down the Stanford towers, plus the cafeteria.

The track will be moved. Take a look at the map, the easternmost Greentree field is already impaired on one end by the parking garage. Cobb Track moves to the IM Fields, and the Greentree fields will shift west. And who knows, I'd love to see UM build some left field seating at the Light.

Nope. Why?

Sorry, I belatedly attached the map picture. I'm not sure if that first bridge was there when we were in law school, I think it is a more recent addition. Also, they are going to build a second bridge that will connect the new building to the IPF, right where they are planning to expand the...

No sir. It will be in the PARKING LOT of the Wellness Center. So the one end of the Football Center will be roughly equal to where the edge of the IPF hits Greentree. Then, the Football Center will extend toward the old Towers, but end at the bridge. Then, on the other side of the bridge...
