I didn't realize that the ground was so polluted that even pulling out all the soil and adding a liner wouldn't work. I figured the clever souls in the ag department would devise a way to put the world's largest plant pot in the ground or something.
I got to roll the oaks once. I agree that sculptures of the trees could be really cool. I'm imagining letting alumni and students buy single leaves, so that the tree statues have living "family" even though they aren't alive. There are lots of schools (Washington & Lee, Harvard, Southern Cal) where a statue is the focal point of campus. Maybe they could always have a sapling growing in a pot, or photos of acorn offspring growing in alumni gardens all over the world.
You've perfectly described what I was thinking!

Here is the website link to the oaks. About halfway down the page is the artists rendering of the new design. The final design is actually a blend of the two with the circular plaza and a walkway off toward Samford Hall.
For this fall, they will have some kind of wires to hang paper from.
