Is there any truth that the Wal-Mart area was going to be the athletic complex until Sam Walton made an offer they couldn't refuse?

[Sly Fox]

I know there was talk of utilizing that property in some manner back in the day.

I heard it was Hilary Clinton. She's on the board of directors of Walmart and she needed that land so the ultraconservative Jerry couldn't build on it. She wanted his univeristy to grow until it strangled itself between traintracks and the highway. She didn't plan on a pager business going under. They were too cutting edge. Only folks like Zach Morris could afford to have a cell phone

Jerry said that in convo last semester, so i would assume its true

It already was: our intramural fields were there where Wal-Mart is now.

Well, it did go all the way to Wards road across from the airport. Except that we sold that to build the mall. Actually, I never heard a final decision on whether we decided to lease it or sell it. I'd be interested to know about that.

Here's another boundary question: How far up or over the "mountain" does the LU line go? Does it go all the way over down the backside of the mountain?

[qkslvrsrfrboy]

well also how far south does it go if we put the monogram on our land but its so far over? i mean im sure we didnt buy new land for that, so does it go all the way down to there? and if so why dont we start building more that way? although i guess these are pointless questions to ask as no one on here is the construction planner for LU or anything

That's probably where the fun park is going.

So far as I know we own quite a bit of land after the "mountain" peaks. Way back past Liberty Village.

We also own the ridge for about as far northeast as it runs.

That should be in there sunday...I've heard JF mention before that Sam actually sent his kids out here after JF refused to sell it several times, they then offered something like a quarter mill per Acre and JF said "well thats a little different" Little did anyone know we sold them solid rock that actually caused two to three different excavating companies to go bankrupt

Sold it...LU's out of land to sell now (that they intended to sell from the start)

Pretty much all the way to campbell ave (on the same mtn as the monogram)
