UT to invest millions in campus beautification

[jwells]

The thing about art is that it is subjective.

Noone likes that robot tapeworm, victory onion, aluminum egg crap.

 

[ATC_VOL]

So ugly

I hate that thing. I can see my freshman dorm room in that pic though.

 

[VolsRule]

I thought the university was broke---where are they getting all these millions?

My god some people will complain about anything. It is a University for gods sake. It should have some off the beaten path stuff here and there.

Not when it royally f***s up a spot that would probably be the best for scenery on campus.

Just put a damn fountain or water feature where that statue is. Such an eye sore in the middle of the campus

Agree. Everybody loves fountains

 

[Ohiovol09]

Agree. Everybody loves fountains

Fact. Impossible to hate them imo

If ugly were a crime the owner of that thing would get the death penalty.

Then again, if I were the artist, I would probably find mass hating on a sports message board to be complete validation of my work.

Only if you consider trolling an art form.

The hate's not limited to VN.

When your in college you don'tt notice these things cause your always on alcohols

That stupid statue is the least of the campus's problems.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Not true. Its the reason we suck at sports right now

 

[VolsRule]

So ugly

this thing is hideous---the university should tear it down on the first day of the "beautification"

 

[sanddune50]

So ugly

That's that emo kid crap they slap up on campus to appease their 'creativity'. Guess any of us can go to a junkyard and weld some busted hubcaps together and call it art.

Is there a link that has the "finished product look"? SIAP and im not talking about the link in the OP. Kind of like how they had the Neyland renovations and how they would look on utsports.com

 

[bignewt]

its my new tat

UT has one of the ugliest campuses I have seen. No continuity. Few green spaces. It's horrible especially if you look at UGA. This needed to happen 30 years ago

 

[Midfielder10]

UT has one of the ugliest campuses in the country. As someone else said, this is long overdue.

There is an insider article on ESPN about the renovation of TN football. Anyone have a subscription and care to share?

[VolsRule]

The UT athletic program needs to stop giving millions to the university if they are going to waste it on this "beautification" stuff.

 

[Coug]

I've always thought that Parking garage/"ATM Wall"/ramp entrance monstrosity on Phillip Fulmer Way just north of the stadium looked awful. Seriously, do something with that.

That a damn joke, you must not have been to many other campuses in the country
