Simpson Drill Field

Well, what to say about Simpson Drill Field? It has a bunch of holes in it and you need to look out for them because the grass covers them. While I have attended outdoor movie showings here (it’s not good for those because of the wind blowing the inflatable screen away) and a few annual bbq and other free food events, I’ve stepped in the holes. Ask anyone. Everyone has.
Also went to a soccer game here when one of the players stepped in one of the holes and injured his ankle so badly that he was out of the game, and neither team ever scheduled an event here again because of the injury caused by poor condition of the field.
I’m aware of the history of the field yet today maintenance of it’s surface safety for events seems to be being overlooked. Maybe those people got outsourced as well, Heaven have Mercy on their souls.
Most certainly do not suggest running or even walking on Simpson Drill Field or you could twist your ankle in a hole. It needs to be resurfaced with equipment A&M already owns and has ready on campus (I’ve seen the machines parked on Agronomy Rd.) and then replanted with a turf that grows better. (Hello Horticulture!) Maybe some flowers too. A project that could be completed in a single day with resources on hand, yet could take years of bureaucracy.
Oh yeah and the address is obviously way wrong, but the map pointer is correct, on campus by the MSC. Oh what has happened to Unilocal since they went public?
