Is there a to scale overhead view so we can tell how many of the lower seats in Section 1 are going to be facing a new concrete wall?

I had that same question. Can’t believe we’re spending $200m and intentionally creating obstructed views. 

We have made plenty of fun of aggy Kroger/pyle Field for a similar clownshow in the corners.

Am I missing something? The concrete wall is in the opposite direction of the field. 

Yeah, I don't think there are going to be any obstructed views of the playing field.

Based on the renders there shouldn’t be, except to the video screen. It would seem there will be some work in sections 1 and 32 after the SEZ structure is in place

The renderings we’ve seen so far appear to have the wall blocking views from the lowest Section 1 straight on seats of Bevo’s pen and possibly the lower right corner of the video board. That’s why I was wondering if we could see an overhead view.

edited to add: I hope so, taybo. FWIW, my seats are on row 60+, adjacent to Section 2

Well, that’s what it looks like in the rendering above. Not to mention my SIL who sits down there is 4’10”.

You’re supposed to watch the game, not Bevo. If you need to see Bevo, the Videoboard, and the game. Buy better seats

I do watch the entire game and can see just fine.  I was talking about the poor saps down in the corner... if they get some of their previous view blocked off. What is so hard to understand about that? If it turns out not to happen that way, then all is good.

There are also many breaks in the game to enjoy looking at other aspects of actually going to the game in person, like bevo and the cannon.

 

 

the seating design even in those sections past the end zone is relatively parallel to the sideline, and the risers are concrete. 

so you can’t exactly angle the bleachers to actually face the field, which means those close to the new wall will be facing the wall and turning their head/body to see the field. 
 

or is there some plan to change the seat angle in those sections via retrofitting?
 

Cole is going hard in the paint once this is complete.

We got terracing

I don't think I'm going to come around on the weird jagged longhorn design.

Looking great!  The stadium atmosphere is going to be so much better with the south endzone enclosed.

Let's hope they bring back the scoreboard with the Noise-o-meter (or whatever it was called) and put a video screen in the middle. ;)

I nominate Derka to take his place.

For Bama? Most likely.

What happened?  Looks like they removed some of those pre-fab bleachers in the bottom left:

It’s going to suck if we can’t see the inside except on tv.

That's the one from the south end. I'm talking about the one that was in the north end.

That's North, amigo. That's the music building back there.

Because there was no "GONG!"?

Probably because of the trauma.

(And yeah, it would have to be north because we didn't have seats in the SEZ until the last few years. Duh on my part.)

Fun fact. In 1982, after we lost to SMU1,  I crawled along the top of that wall in an end run around the campus police guarding an ABC Sports banner that was hanging under the previous scoreboard. They were so busy watching the dozens of people that had the same idea to take it that they never turned around to look at it until I was safely under the West side upper deck. I'm still surprised no one that was observing it didn't tell them to turn around. Banner still hangs in my garage.

Craig James caught a touchdown pass and killed five hookers.

Pretty sure we will have crowds in the stadium in '21 when the project is complete.
