Drove by the site today. Looks like construction has begun. The old Clifton Robinson parking garage has been removed and they are now digging for the pavilion.
"Smarter than the Average Bear."
Reminds me of when Dr. Smith took us out to escavate the worksite for the Ferrell Center in 1987. They were just digging the bowl for the new arena at that time.

Just imagine what it will look like when the season begins!

Drove by at lunchtime. Garage gone, except for an entrance to the basement of Robinson Tower, or the Batcave. Not sure which.
Also saw a Lloyd Nabors Demolition trailer there. Last time they were in town they were blowing up the football program.
Oh wait...they blew up the football stadium. The BOR blew up the football program.

Don't remember how much the class cost, but I am guessing that is a "yes".

Are you referencing Walstein? If so, I actually worked for him at his private firm for a couple of years. A great American!

And would you be willing to help dig some on the new site?

I can actually still afford gasoline.
But the way this economy is going, who knows in a couple of years.

Oh it wouldn't be about pay but rather getting it finished faster.
I keep coming here to look at more arena pics, and I get lost....
These are exciting times for Baylor University.

Right now., they're still drilling.

And by golly we are in better shape today than at anytime prior to 2016. Let's move forward with Mack Rhoades and Dave Aranda and stop re-hashing the events of the past.whitetrash said:

Yes! And, let's not laugh at ourselves or have a sense of humor about past events.BU82EX said:And by golly we are in better shape today than at anytime prior to 2016. Let's move forward with Mack Rhoades and Dave Aranda and stop re-hashing the events of the past.whitetrash said:

To Yogi's pic of ferrell construction...
wow.
Circa 1987?

Yep
That picture always fascinates me because you can see them building the top portion of the dome inside the arena.CST Bear said:

BTW, I was in the Baylor University For Young People back then. It was a summer program where kids could take different courses taught by Baylor Professors. It's how I learned my first computer applications and coding.
Anyway, another one of my classes was Archeology with Calvin Smith. And, back in the summer of 1987, he had us excavating the site of the Ferrell Center. The only artifacts I came up with were some old dishes. Apparently, there had been house on that ploy of land prior, but I wonder now if it might have even been a dump. It was not unusual for the City of Waco to use the shores of the Brazos as a dump back in the day. In fact, much of the current football facilities are built on top of an old city dump in that area.
