I would hope next week at the latest.

  

I just hope it's something that looks like it was carefully done. There's a lot of moving parts that we don't have access to, hell even the one I put up two weeks ago I missed Disney on Ice at the Alamodome.

Just give me something that's better than the "This is it?" one the Big XII put out this week.

>>"Rice Stadium will be a great home for the Roughnecks, and we can't wait to deliver a phenomenal football product and fan experience that is uniquely H-Town," said Russ Brandon, the president and CEO of the UFL.Existing season ticket holders with questions about the 2024 season being held at Rice can contact the Roughnecks at 346-568-1753 or tickets@uflroughnecks.com. Those season-ticket holders will have first priority in terms of finding seats comparable to the ones they had at TDECU Stadium, according to the Roughnecks.  <<

That's good

There was nothing wrong with the place when I used to go there except for the splinters from the wooden bleachers.  Apparently the 18th-wealthiest endowment of any American university can't buy chairback seating so they reduce capacity by tarping off sections instead.

Hope they can get more people there than Rice does.
