    Ruiz Stadium update?

    They just don't want to hear it. It's insanity every year. We weren't gifted federal lands out in the cow pastures of a rural state. We were gifted 170 acres nearly 100 years ago in what was already a metropolitan area for the time. In 100 years, we've gained 40 acres of land to expand the...

    Ruiz Stadium update?

    I just cannot see this getting over the line, especially at a citizen level. It doesn't solve much, honestly. As nice as the renderings are, "closer to campus," is not on campus. It may in fact be state of the art for the years in which it is built, but this will never be able to keep up with...
