My buddy works for an engineering company who bid on both projects and said the SEZ project cost more than the entire MLS stadium.

Has there been any progress over the last couple of months?   Are they waiting for the season to be over?

Yes but it's underground. They've been pouring the underground piers for the structural support.

 

Does anyone know how much of moncrief is getting torn down for the project? I think it's everything north of the white arch roof but I haven't heard anything for sure. It doesn't seem like they can fit the stands, suites and offices behind the suites without tearing down at least the north end of moncrief.

If I remember correctly it's the whole damn thing.

Support columns are now above ground. Not sure how new this is.

On that rendering, it appears that the windows in the horns will be looking directly at walls. Hopefully it’s just not a good perspective and they will look over those walls, or the windows won’t extend that far.

The walls probably aren't as high up as you are thinking they are.

All the renderings I've seen look comically bad.  Like we had aggy design it for us.

Every seat has a line of sight on the field and it will probably be built to a high quality, so above that.

Kind of tacky looking though, for sure.

I'm sure it will be high quality for as much as we are spending.  But, yes, tacky is more what I was going for.  Really tacky in my view.  

I'm in the minority but I think it looks badass.  When they get that thing lit up with LED lights at night it's gonna be awesome.  So singular, so unique.

 

I think it's just a shitty rendering. The previously released images and the pics in the marketing materials look way, way better. They also show that while some office views will be obscured on the Longhorn Patio, it won't be 100% obscured. But honestly, who all needs the unobstructed, perfect view of the stadium from their office? Just the head coach. I don't give a company fuck if Drew Mehringer's office looks straight into a wall. I don't care, and would honestly prefer, if Drew Mehringer's office was a fucking dumpster that was on fire somewhere down Red River. 

I think it looks cool in the original renderings, and it *should* look badass when viewed from the TV cameras at a slight angle. But I guess we'll see.

Real talk.

 

Considering their performance the team should be running out of an asshole instead.

I mean outside of the god damned gap, everything they have done recently to upgrade the stadium has been top notch. I certainly enjoy the idea of the symmetric stadium model from several years back, but I'm excited for the new end zone.

For starters, it's the wrong fucking shape.

The north end zone renovation ended up looking great, so I still have hope someone up there knows what they are doing.

You have one more in the minority. When the stadium was first extended and the south end zone was left undone, I discussed with a few people how it would be a good idea to somehow incorporate a longhorn in the south end zone when it was eventually built. So, when I saw it in the design in the survey that was sent out about purchasing different types of seats for the SEZ, I mentioned that I loved it being incorporated in the comments section. Of course my discussions way back then was with folks of no consequence and my vision was nowhere as good as what they came up with in the end.

Wait til you guys see the spinning Longhorn hologram over the stadium.

The north end zone renovation ended up looking great because it was designed to integrate with the rest of the stadium and especially the east side upper deck reno.

This thing looks like shit by design, and it's not ever going to get any better.

Buddy said Texas should forget the Longhorn design in endzone.... Said looks too much like

The worst part about this whole thing is Mehringer still having an office in two years.

The comments on this thing are pure gold!  

 

You know, we could save ourselves from at least a few (but not all) future uteral-related jokes with a relatively simple “bridge” fix to the design...
