Gerald J. Ford Stadium

Gerald J. Ford Stadium is a stadium in Dallas, Texas. The stadium is owned by Southern Methodist University (SMU) and is used primarily for games played by the SMU Mustangs football team. About Gerald J. Ford Stadium The stadium is named after Gerald J. Ford, a billionaire banker who provided most of the funding for its construction. Outside the northeast corner of the stadium is Doak Walker Plaza, honoring the former Heisman Trophy winner and SMU's greatest football star. The plaza includes a life-sized replica of the Doak Walker Award trophy, awarded annually to the nation's top college football running back. The northwest corner is connected to the Loyd All-Sports Center, which contains locker, training, and office space for SMU Athletics. History The building stands on the site of the former Ownby Stadium, the school's previous on-campus football stadium that had been used since 1926. Ownby was demolished starting in late October 1998 in order to clear the land designated for the new stadium. Ford Stadium opened on September 2, 2000, with a football game against the University of Kansas. On September 24, 2022, the regular season attendance record was set at Gerald J. Ford Stadium when 35,481 people watched the TCU Horned Frogs face off against the SMU Mustangs in the Battle for the Iron Skillet. The overall attendance record is set at 36,742 for the 2010 Armed Forces Bowl between SMU and the Army Black Knights. Expansion The north-south oriented stadium is bowl-shaped, originally standing on three sides (west, east, and north). The stadium is theoretically expandable to 45,000 seats by enclosing the horseshoe on the south end. Renovations In 2012, SMU Mustang Athletics announced the construction of additional luxury suites, as well as the upgrading of infrastructure to the Paul B. Loyd, Jr. All-Sports Center to allow access to designated outdoor seating areas in the stadium. Construction was completed prior to the start of the 2013 season. On July 26, 2016, SMU officials announced plans for an upcoming facilities project that will include a new indoor performance center for the Mustangs football team, as well as an outdoor natural grass football practice field. The additions are part of the initial phase of SMU's $150 million comprehensive facilities upgrade. On December 2, 2022, SMU broke ground on the Garry Weber Endzone Complex, a new, $100 million dollar state-of-the-art facility for the school's football team. The complex, named after Garry Weber, an accomplished entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and former SMU football player, will include a new weight room, training facilities, meeting rooms, and offices for the football program. The complex was expected to be completed in time for the start of 2024 football season, and the expansion was completed and dedicated on September 6, 2024.

Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center

Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center is a 2,789 acres (1,129 ha) state park and outdoor education facility in northeast Harris County, Texas, United States located along Sheldon Lake reservoir. It is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. History The federal government constructed the reservoir on Carpenter's Bayou in 1942 in order to support growing war-related industries along the Houston Ship Channel. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the reservoir in 1952 to provide a refuge for migratory waterfowl, a public fishing lake and a fish hatchery. It opened in 1955 as the Sheldon Wildlife Management Area. The hatchery closed in 1975, and the land began to revert naturally to forest, ponds and marshes. The site was designated a state park in 1984. Features The park features recreational opportunities including group camping, picnic areas, hiking trails, wildlife viewing, fishing, and an environmental learning center. Alternative energy technologies and green building techniques were used during construction of many of the parks structures, including the Pond Center, an open-entry pavilion the formerly housed the site's office, lab, and garage. The John Jacob Observation Tower is an 82-foot wheelchair-accessible structure, allowing park visitors opportunities to view the surrounding wetlands and prairie, as well as the skyline of downtown Houston. Nature Animals Animals here include white-tailed deer, American alligator, common raccoon, Virginia opossum, coyote and swamp rabbit. More than 20 species of ducks, geese and other waterfowl spend time here. Look for heron and egret rookeries. Plants Today, you’ll see grasses, woody plants and trees such as water oak, loblolly pine, bald cypress, eastern redcedar and American sycamore. The marsh, lake and ponds are home to many water plants, including flowering American white waterlily.

Austin City Hall (Austin, Texas)

Austin City Hall is the seat of Austin municipal government, located at 301 W 2nd St in downtown Austin, Texas. The current building was completed in 2004. It is the meeting place for the Austin City Council. Description The current building was designed by Antoine Predock and Cotera + Reed Architects, and was intended to reflect what The Dallas Morning News referred to as the city's "crazy-quilt vitality, that embraces everything from country music to environmental protests and high-tech swagger." The building was constructed from recycled materials. History Austin formerly operated its City Hall at 124 West 8th Street. In the 1980s, the City of Austin proposed a 60-acre urban renewal project for Austin's Warehouse District, which would have included a new city hall complex designed by urban planner Denise Scott Brown, along with a new location for the Laguna Gloria art museum, designed by architect Robert Venturi. In 1987, partially in response to the Savings and Loan Crisis, the plans were shelved when the property was foreclosed upon. In 1999, Mayor Kirk Watson and the Austin City Council approved a $10.4 million tax incentive for the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) to construct a three-building complex on the same site slated for the failed city hall complex, under the stipulation that CSC funded the construction of a new city hall. The first two buildings (now home to Silicon Labs) were constructed before CSC vacated the premises before following through with the construction of the city hall building. In November 2004, the Austin City Hall officially opened in its current building at 301 W 2nd St. See also Austin City Council Mayor of Austin References External links Official website

Kerrville State Hospital

Kerrville State Hospital (KSH) is a mental hospital in Kerrville, Texas, operated by health and human services. The patients of this 202-patient facility, who were judged in state courts as "not guilty by reason of insanity" and/or "incompetent to stand trial," come from throughout the state. The majority were originally patients of North Texas State Hospital Vernon Campus but were moved here because the state determined they needed a longer stay in mental healthcare, while also not being obviously harmful to others. Kerrville State Hospital is fenced, and it does not have guards carrying weapons. History The property, purchased by the State of Texas in 1935, previously served as other healthcare facilities before 1951. The dude ranch My Ranch operated here at the beginning of the 20th century; it began its life as a healthcare area in 1915. From 1915 to 1917 the tuberculosis hospital Mountain Park Sanitorium occupied the site, and from 1917 to 1935 Thompson Sanitorium, run by Dr. Sam E. Thompson, occupied the site. From 1935 until a few years later, it served as a state treatment center for black people with tuberculosis. In 1951 it opened as a Kerrville branch of a state mental hospital located in San Antonio. In 1952 it became the Kerrville State Hospital, its own institution. Originally it only served residents of specific counties in the Texas Hill Country. The largest treatment building opened in 1992; it houses ten treatment programs. References External links Kerrville State Hospital Archived October 12, 2017, at the Wayback Machine

Cattedrale di San Fernando (San Antonio)

La cattedrale di San Fernando (in spagnolo: Catedral de San Fernando) è la cattedrale cattolica della città di San Antonio, in Texas, Stati Uniti, e sede dell'arcidiocesi di San Antonio. Storia La chiesa originaria di San Fernando è stata costruita tra il 1738 e il 1750. Le mura di quella chiesa oggi sono parte della cattedrale e ne fanno la più antica cattedrale nello Stato del Texas. La chiesa è dedicata a Ferdinando III di Castiglia, che regnò nel XIII secolo in Spagna. Il fonte battesimale, che si ritiene essere un dono di Carlo III, che fu incoronato re di Spagna nel 1759, è il più antico arredo liturgico presente nella cattedrale. La cattedrale fu costruita dai coloni delle isole Canarie, per questo motivo all'interno è presente un quadro della Vergine di Candelaria, patrona delle Isole Canarie. Nel 1868, sotto la regia dell'architetto Francois P. Giraud, la cattedrale è stata notevolmente ampliata in stile neogotico. Le pietre scolpite delle stazioni della Via Crucis sono state aggiunte nel 1874. Le suggestive vetrate risalgono invece al 1920. Il 13 settembre del 1987 la cattedrale è stata visitata da papa Giovanni Paolo II durante l'unica visita di un papa in Texas. Una lapide di marmo ricorda l'evento.
