September 20, 20187 yr Hilarious, (but I doubt it's real)...Now, if this was a rendering of a parking garage downtown then that would have been accurate.
September 20, 20187 yr Was that really part of the renderings?! Kind of funny, to be honest!No I photoshopped that in there, lol

September 20, 20187 yr Not a fan of the concrete terrace things on either end of the new seats. Just a put a regular tunnel and stairs to the top.

September 20, 20187 yr So some seats in section 1 and 32 are going away if those party platforms are accurate.

It’s going to piss of a lot of old timers in section 1 though but I bet they can work that out. I love the new design. Not a party platform fan but it at least it doesn’t look cheap and the Lower stands are truly bowled in. I keep wondering why they are leaving a gap in the NE between the current East side and the new NEZ. It seems like they could have extended the suites all the way around and had a party deck or platform above them for fans or even the LHN studios.
September 20, 20187 yr For better or worse, Populous, the architecture firm has recently complete stadium renovations at Arky, Blow-U, K-St, and DPR CO-Boulder

September 21, 20187 yr 9 hours ago, Machinator said: Why are the fans in upper corner of the lower SE section going to be 60 yards behind the back of the end zone while the fans in the SW will only be 15-20 yards behind the end zone? Why can’t we have symmetry, Populous?

I like it. I like it. A sneak attack on aggy. They won’t even know it until it happens and we again have a higher record attendance.
September 21, 20187 yr 50 minutes ago, Tired of Lurking said: Are those platforms going to be students-only? I remember answering a bunch of questions about “table suites” on a platform/party deck that came with a bar table and 4 bar stools in a shared area or something like that in their season ticket holder survey so I’m going to guess that those will be sold as a premium or at least be considered club seating”

They won’t even know it until it happens and we again have a higher record attendance. aggy crammed 110k into kyle one year when they had only finished one side of their stadium. We’re not going to get close to that record unless they fully bowl it in like the original plans (which would be stupid with declining attendance nationwide). Now they might increase capacity to be bigger than aggy who reportedly has 2600 or more seats than our current setup but honestly I believe CDC when he says they haven’t really calculated it because we wouldn’t be adding anymore run of the mill basic seats. The additional seats will all be club, platform, suite or party deck type seating and the basic bleacher seating will likely go down when they mess with the end zone bleacher and tie it in with sections 1 & 32. If we simply wanted to have more seats than aggy we could, but that would serve no purpose other than having more than them for a time (until they re-stripe their seats again) and I’m glad our administration isn’t thinking like some of our dumbass mouth breather fans. This project is mostly about functionality for our players/coaches, selling more premium seats/suites, and giving DKRTMS a much needed update from the bland looking end zone eyesore that is the student bleachers and thrown together LHN platform (not that the LHN platform was necessary but the current one is just visually awful).
September 21, 20187 yr Then I say we announce a new record attendance of 110,001 just to watch aggy re-stripe their bleachers...again. There is entertainment value in this, my friend.
September 21, 20187 yr I think something that might be getting lost on some is that these "party platforms" are areas where far more people will be able to attend the game and count towards the attendance record as pointed out by @ImissWallyPryor. With pyle field only having so much space that can be used as such space for such concepts. Aggy already has it set up so that each "seat" is really nothing more than standing room only, thus the real reason why "no one ever sits down at one of their games."
September 21, 20187 yr I have always thought that Rice needs to think like this and put in massive recliner like seats with big armrests and lots of leg room between the 10 yard lines in their stajium make them the widest most comfortable and functional seats in all of sport and being Rice probably some "study decks" where you can close off the noise for a bit while having a group study session

I'm guessing those concrete areas can be sold as SRO and break any capacity record they want.
September 21, 20187 yr Is there a rendering of the outside so we can see just how well it will match the north and east sides? Someone mentioned earlier that we should demolish the west side upper deck. Is that even possible without imploding the lower deck? I can’t imagine how, but I’m no civil engineer.

Well, I’m in section 1 right next to section 2, row 69. So give me a heads up before imploding anything.
