The track has been scheduled to be removed in June. We will replace it with concrete that will match what is in front of the Zone. Currently the wall is being sandblasted and will remain in its original state, unpainted. Quite frankly, the birds are a real problem. We power wash the areas each Friday before home games and then go back and do some touch-up work on Saturday morning.
Major cities deal with the same kinds of problems in their downtown areas.
Pigeons roost in the concrete structures and make a real mess on the sidewalks. We haven't given up on finding a solution to that particular problem but haven't really made any profound discoveries yet either. Howdy, It seems to me that I remember the letters on the west side of Kyle Field being illuminated in one way or the other. It was almost as if you could see it from Austin. As I remember, it was quite an impressive sight.
