Any other school that embarks on a reno project like this produces a fancy video with fly-throughs showing a bunch of different angles. I'm shocked that someone as detail oriented as CDC is hasn't been all over doing that. I suspect there's a reason for it. Just like there's a reason that we have no idea what the new basketball arena will look like. I'm not smart enough to know what those reasons are though. Edited May 20, 20196 yr by Hairy Biped

It's got a LOT of awesome details, but it's best to work through the design process before showing off. I'd say just let the anticipation build for what is rumored instead of showing something that may not happen or look the same as the rendering makes it look. Then when it's done it's a huge awesome surprise and you can do drone fly byes of the real thing before the first game to show it off.
May 20, 20196 yr No matter what they showed most of you would bitch about it so they just decided to let you do your bitching without spending a bunch of unnecessary money
May 20, 20196 yr It’s honestly pretty bizarre that so little effort went into the fundraising brochure they are showing donors. It looks like some high school kids project he slapped together the night before it was due.

May 21, 20196 yr They couldnt remove the bleachers/section beforehand so they had to just take an excavator to the whole thing?
May 21, 20196 yr "Dammit Bob that's the wrong end of the stadium!! You're gonna have to fix that! Haha just kidding Bob."
May 21, 20196 yr Can’t knock it down ... apparently the builder wasn’t an Aggy or it would have fallen on its own.

My family bought some of that lounge seating or whatever they are calling it. Thankfully we also kept our old seats in the east side club for actual game watching.

Mmmm... those sunshade canopy supports though - more longhorn logos. Longhorn network should change their shit and get that black outta here. This is all fucked if they don't get the color right. The good news is, every time they mention anything that is burnt orange, it's called "burnt orange ________". I'm guessing we aren't the only ones that like it extra crispy.
May 22, 20196 yr I guess I could ask CDC this on Twitter, but is there not going to be student seating in the SEZ now that the bleachers have been torn to shreds?

May 23, 20196 yr No matter how the final configuration finishes out, we should already announce the new capacity as 102,732, even if it ends up being a lot more than that.

May 23, 20196 yr Not gonna lie, I think we might get some recruiting interest if we could get a dragon to land there and throw fire above the field as the team comes out. Especially at night. Edited May 23, 20196 yr by Pato del Muerto
