Just bang the side of it a couple of times and that will clear right up.

Psssshhhh. They keep the flies with the flies, the jigs with the jigs, the hooks with the hooks, the lead weights with the lead weights, and the stink bait with the stink bait. Everything matches. 

Since the remodel, it's more about keeping the produce in the produce aisle, dairy in the dairy case...

No matter what you think of the SEZ, it sure doesn't look as gawky and off-kilter as this:

Shit that’s what it looked like when I enrolled in 1997.   I think. 1997 was a while ago. Pretty sure the East expansion and field lowering/track removal was in 1998. 

One Clark field was gone and the other wasn’t the practice field anymore though.

The track got pulled up and the field lowered prior to the 1996 season. First year of the East upper deck was 1998 season...

Y'all should take a moment and appreciate the men that made all of this possible.

Yeah, think it looks great.  Will be fucking awesome when it's pulsing in orange LED lights during the build up to the team running out for a big night game (Bama 2022 for example).

They’re not doing any special lighting unfortunately. Maybe down the road it can be added.

I remember the tennis courts close to the South end of the stadium - during the 70s.

Into the mid-80's

[msucolt45 3989]

I also remember the first time I walked inside the stadium, without the track and added seating, and it felt like the place was HUGE!

[msucolt45 3989]

DKRTMS has really changed, with the times, and an increase in capacity with each change. With the new SEZ project taking some of the original “capacity” away, it still creates the enclosed atmosphere, with the new seating not looking “temporary”, but adding $$$ suites is a bonus! Net effect still around 100k seating, but definitely unique!

Thats very unfortunate. We are behind on our lighting and need to improve compared to others.

Yeah lights were cut due to financial reasons last I heard. Even the Longhorn emblem lights were cut. Last I heard anyways.

Jet Pack Guy flying out of the emblem in the SEZ would have been epic.

led lights cost $20 on amazon if we cant find the money to buy led lights for the emblem someone needs to be fired

How about Surly raises and donates the cash for the LEDs and SurlyHorns gets the naming rights? The athletic dept will be even more willing to monetize anything and everything right about now.

Something is fucky with the left and right sides, apart from the bevo notch. The bases of the two suite towers are not identical.

The base on the left is lower for the LHN studio.

When are they going to take out that random steel beam just shoved in the supports for the southwest stands?

Apparently, it's not a random piece of steel.   They're now building on top of it.    It's the open decks that the concept photos show.  Of course, in real life, they won't be open and will probably be filled with concession stands.

I think the next project has to be networking in the stadium, sound, and lighting

Starting to build out the fan platforms where the new end zone meets the west side. Shows how much of section 1 will be lost

Man, my seats are right where that big box is in that picture. Going to be weird having that right there.

Looks like they pulled the bleachers there. Unless it’s temporary, you might not have seats there any longer. But if you do, the terrace should be a bit of a sound shield from the vidya board. 

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

looks gap-ish.
