To my knowledge this hasn’t been done, but I thought why not turn my dining room table into Tiger Stadium, Waco. I have 5 kids, recent divorce and while I can, I thought. I’m gonna do it. So with a little help from mom and sis, here is the process



Me at the LSU Florida game 2019



The plain old table at my birthday last year



The goal



Picking out the paint



Laying down the field



Painting the end zones



Painting the turf



End zone lettering



Painting the yard markers



Me working on the eye



The infamous Eye of the Tiger - cue Survivor????



Putting in the Laquer



Finished Product




I present to you tiger stadium, Waco. This thing turned out better than I would’ve imagined. It’s not perfect, but it looks really good. Thought you guys would like to see this.

Who let the Baylor Fan Photo Bomb your picture?
FYI Tiger Fans. That's the Baylor Bear Claw thing they Do like we hold up the "L".

When you live in Waco. Tiger fans are hard to find. That guy particularly loves LSU and wants me to take him to a game pretty bad. Was going to this year but .....Covid

We live in Gonzales and the Sugar Bowl Tickets last season were cheaper than parking, so we up and hauled arse down to that game. The "Bear Claw" is pretty cool to see in person.

And I spent 3 months in Waco back in 2001. Doing tax and appraisal software conversion. There was this shady strip club out there by Beverly Hills. Man o Man. That place and Gratzianos(Italian Buffet) downtown were my two favorite spots.

I thought you were painting the walls like the stadium and the floor like the field.

Dude, I’m glad you love Waco. It has become a pretty Hoppin place as of late. Getting away from the Branch Davidians and moving more toward chip and Joanna is nice. Baylor fans are pretty typical. Cheer when they win, don’t get too upset when they lose...which is often. It’s amazing how rabid the few tiger fans are here....you can take the boy out of Louisiana...

You did an awesome job on your project. Thanks for sharing it.

I dont get why anyone would feel the need to be critical of your work or downvote your post. Sheesh. WTF is wrong with some people?

I love the picture of the kids helping too. I have zero artistic talent, I cant draw a stickman, so I am always impressed with people who do have talent.

I really like the font you used to mark everyone's place at the table as well. Looks great! I have only one question: Why did you reserve your spot in the south endzone and not the north endzone? Do you not enjoy sitting near the band?

Great work!
