Based on the heart of Rice’s gorgeous campus, Reckling Park is one of the more distinguished fields in the NCAAs. This summer it is getting a subterranean tummy tuck, with a new drainage system installed.
If you’re a fan of PVC and engineering, you’ll love CSTV’s four part photo gallery. If you are a fan of beautiful things, Gallery #1 might be as painful to you as it was to me. Galleries 2-4 are interesting and show the skeletal structure of a field, but numero uno is like watching surgery. Hard to look away, but not pretty to look at as the field is torn up by Caterpillar trucks.
