Its happening (stadium renovations)

[ousux 5586]

Minsk?

[Guest Lobo]

We've got some ugly ass buildings on the north end of campus, and Jester just needs to be demolished.  

But really, how fitting is it that the Aggie's have that type of campus build?  It perfectly mirrors their groupthink, cult-like philosophy of fucktion.

Wife and I had season tickets (gave em up a few months ago) in Section 1, Row 61, seats 1&2. They were adjacent to the wall and the first two seats inside the stadium. The breeze was always badass in those seats coming off the drop off



During the spring game, we wandered over to our old seats that we gave up.




Im glad we gave em up

So are the front of those tower suites on each side staying white?  Looks a little unfinished…..

LOL, you're got damn right. If the goalpost looks off center in that shot, it's probably just because the camera's off center.

Yeah that's definitely less than optimal. Oof.

coming to the Mighty Fine pole is the very very lovely Victoria!  And up next on the nyle maxwell pole is the very very lovey Diana!

Bob Cole is our own Dave South.  Embarrassing. Thank goodness that you have to be there in person to suffer through him and his all of the crap he brings.

It is Craig Way for me on all Texas sports audio feeds FTW!

Thankfully, he isn’t really our Dave South because we don’t rely on him information. A person could listen to South call a game and have no idea what was happening. With Cole, only blind fans Have to worry about that. 
 

Also, Dave and Dave were like a HS radio crew with all their “wes and uses.” Professional announcers like Craig Way always refer to the team and the mascot and use “theys.”

Horribad. Won’t even be able to see the south end zone on game day. Like most of the build but the party decks are pretty stupid.

They need to make everything inside the Longhorn burnt orange that includes painting columns, flooring and adding burnt orange tint to the glass.

That might look odd in daylight, not needed for night games.

[Red Five 40633]

I guess they're just gonna leave the Darrell K Royal above the scoreboard like that. While they were making it and putting it up, did no one say "hey, maybe we should center this so it doesn't look like shit?".

It's off-center to take away your attention from the misaligned tunnel/goalpost/endzone.

I bitched about it several pages back, and DelConte said on Twitter it’s temporary. It’s apparently just lettering screened onto a fabric, as it actually folded over during a really windy day (it may have been a rainstorm). 

Ha, Red Five, you’re actually the one who posted the photo of the sign all jacked up, back on Page 57. 😂

It's been up for awhile now. Someone with some attention to detail has had plenty of time to fix that. 

But we're just now getting around to putting the right color on our field after 12 years, so who knows.

They need to finish off the nose, its only logical to have the smoke come out of the nose as the players run onto the field.

Which one of you rich bastards are touring the facility right now? We need pics.

Some seats may have obstructed view...

The first time I went to the cotton bowl I bought tickets in a section that ended up putting me directly behind a column

Hemisfair had some horrible seats that had columns blocking some of your view.

Yeah, but those upper deck seats were on top of the court.

I don't remember them being on top, I do remember HA being one loud mofo when packed and rockin' when the Spurs played well.

I was on the field as a student right after they finished the NEZ. I couldnt believe how good it was. Then I turned around and realized what I thought the SEZ would look like if it mirrored what they'd done with the north. Absolutely incredible stadium. 

Instead we have this Mickey Mouse cheap ass looking disjointed garbage. Absolutely terrible. Fuck everything about this abomination. 

[Guest Lobo]

We went on a hot streak from 2010 @ Nebraska, 2011 @ UCLA, 2012 @ Ole Miss, 2013 @ BYU, 2014 @ Kansas, 2015 @ UND & @WVU, 2016 @ Cal & @OSU, 2017 @ USC where we never sat anywhere better than probably the 3rd to last row in the corner of the endzone.  We're ballers like that.  Makes me feel like that poor Fenway guy.

You should have offered to pay to have the Moncrief Newhouse Athletic Center torn down and rebuilt slightly to the south.

At least at Fenway they tend to look the other way if you move to open areas ... unlike at Wrigley. Fuck Wrigley. Overrated. Fenway is amazing.
