    I LOVE this news. Being in Plano and all :)

      That may be what was intended.

      The Dickies Arena’s facades incorporate Southwest Art Deco elements, chosen to relate the building to the 1930s era buildings on the Will
      Roger’s campus.

      Also you will note in the above links that the facility includes more than just a 14,000 seat arena. Clearly the arena was built with the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo in mind and so perhaps looking like a horse barn at the state fairgrounds sort of way may be the best compliment you can give them.

        Now let's get real:

        1)Does the artistic rendention show where Shocker fans will sit?

        2)If not, what's East Carolina's ticket office phone number?

        3) How much will beverages cost?

        Too early?
        1) NO
        2) 800-DIAL-ECU (it's busy right now)
        3) If you get ECU tix, beer price will be worth it. (It's still busy)
        Too early? YES (Nobody's answering the damn phone)
        For some the glass is half full and for others half empty. My glass is out of ice.
        - said no one ever...

          Fantastic news. Sundance Square is close with bars and restaurants. Magnolia street is close, more bars and restaurants. The zoo and botanical gardens are close. My kids love the Fort Worth Science museum. No need to get bored, before and after basketball.

              As long as they are Cowboy Cut.

              You can wear a tie if you want to dress up but they would need to look like this:

                    So many questions. If I buy a pair can I get a discount with my Dickies?

                        I'm pretty sure those aren't Dickies

                          Also, the DFW area has about 2500 WSU alums. This will just enhance the Shocker attendance.

                              A friend of mine is in the process of moving to Dallas from Houston. I told him to keep the town house in Houston and buy a 3 bedroom house in Dallas and then we could stay with him where ever the shocks are playing,

                                Two blocks from The Ginger Man pub. That. Will. Do.
                                “The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'
