OT: Baylor's New Stadium -- Brick Wall Paper
The brand new Baylor football stadium hung a "wall paper" of bricks in its new $266 million home.

It is still a beautiful stadium.

The South Bend Tribune's Eric Hansen participated in an interview of Coach Brian Kelly yesterday -- where he brought up the choice of music that played inside Michigan Stadium at the end of last year's game...
