Whatever you do, DO NOT give that man a sledgehammer!

Still thinking my mega set up in my living room with 80" big screen and my topless wife delivering libations and food are far better and cheaper than this bullshit is the best deal...and no you can't buy seats at any price...

I am beyond the 1% ,bunch of damned fools.

You've incurred a tiddy tax. The masses require payment.

When you explain it this way, that's not bad at all. I might have to look into this in a couple of years when my 40" LCD is paid off.

Holy shit this was funny. I seldom read anything from surly to my wife but she was laughing her ass off too. She's cool spending $300 or so on a couple of seats but thats about all $ I can get her to commit to, and thats only a couple of games a year.

Haha. Welcome to Surly, where someone calls a hundred grand for football tickets "a pretty good deal" and a "reasonably priced hobby" and it quickly becomes consensus. 🙃

Does concrete have much expansion/contraction in 100 sunny degrees vs 80 non radiant degrees?  

Maybe

There’s a whole movement to design and build for future temps and conditions instead of today’s standards. I hope they were thinking ahead.

Populous know what they're doing when it comes to stadium design. This is a pretty small project for them.

Doubt the admin went nickel-and-dime on the engineering firms either.

Texas hires good consultants as well.

Here's a view from the construction cam tonight.  I think the Longhorn tunnel looks pretty badass.

It will look even more badass when its illuminated And has smoke flowing from the mouth/nose area at ground level.

I hope they illuminate it. We need one heck of a smoke and light show

Oh imagine all the stadium lights turning off and the longhorn cutout pulsing burnt orange.

Have they replaced the lighting with LEDs or are they still burning sodium lamps up there that take 20 minutes to warm up?

I was under the impression that  LED’s were tossed into the south end zone renovation budget.

Honestly during the day is going to look epic too just the way it is. We were freaking out when we saw the drawings the tunnel is a really big deal. It's going to be iconic.

Also, I may have to go buy a stupid PS5 just to play the game again and with this completed stadium and behind the center camera gonna be sweet.

Lol at the richest man in the world not being able to afford tickets.

When I was in high school, our boosters bought is an inflatable tunnel. That was a really big deal for a midsize 3A school 20 years ago. Literally no one else in the country will have anything like this at any level. It will take a decent chunk of time for others to figure out how they can incorporate their schools symbol or their tram mascot into the architecture like this. Due to some having to contend with budgetary constraints or just choosing a shitty symbol/mascot, many will be eliminated from even considering trying to copy. Fortunately for Texas, we don't have either of those issues.

I think that one's pretty West Lafayette specific

Nice. Yeah hadn't heard of us doing that either.

If we ever host LSU again we can put them in the restricted view seats to REALLY piss them off for lack of hospitality after their outrage at being put in the upper deck corner like every other visiting fanbase. (yes I know it's only 100 seats)

It would be perfect for their band.  Woodwinds on one side, brass on the other.

And percussion in the SE corner.

Stadium capacity will be going down if the north end zone score board put in...

But considering the trends of attendance (outside of COVID), I don't see that as a bad thing really.

Wonder if it'll drop < 100,000.

Quick math shows that we'd be ~99,000 if south end zone is same # of seats as before and we lose 1080 seats in the north

They’ll count everyone within a quarter mile of the stadium to announce over 100k in attendance. I’m also curious how many folks will be allowed on each step of those standing room party decks. 

I think Alabama traded in seats for an opposing scoreboard, and if they can’t pack it out then no one can.

They're finally adding burnt orange to the longhorn.4075d177162b86e34ba510aab46835f7.jpg

I don't really care if it's lower attendance so long as it's louder.

Seeing how loud we CAN get (Houston 1990) with less than 100k, i agree.  You have a good product on the field and right opponent,  the stadium will be plenty loud. 

Seems that between the SE and North Video Board capacity would have to be decreased, but isn’t a bad thing with the way in-person sports attendance seems to be trending downward even pre-Covid.

yeah they should just completely remove the 100 restricted view seats and put some more statues or busts or something in those areas.  another opportunity for go go dancers too.

So you want to hide the go go dancers behind the board? What's wrong with you?

From what I've heard from some folks who would be in the know, the SE reno is expected to produce the same amount of seats as before, give or take.  But the hidden gem is the addition of thousands more SRO.  So potentially they can stay even or reduce seating slightly, in exchange for more bells and whistles, and still be able to boost attendance numbers for marquee games.  It was suggested to me that perhaps CDC and the gang are keeping mum on actual numbers so they can surprise little brother with higher capacity than that erector set stadium in Hooterville.  I don't care what the capacity and attendance trends are, we have to always have a bigger and better stadium than aggy.  Stadium size may not matter to us, but it absolutely does matter to 17 & 18 year old recruits.  I can't believe we let those goobers pass us in the facilities race and have waited so long to catch up.  They should never be allowed to have such an advantage for more than a season or two.

We say that but reality is even during the 2004-2009 era only 1 game really sticks out in terms of loud and that was 08 Missouri.

I feel like the next phase will have to do with the aged west side upperdeck and lower deck.

Wouldn’t the dancers be visible from the super secret squirrel club behind the north scoreboard?

 

Is the NEZ scoreboard going in before the 2021 season?
