Its happening (stadium renovations)

[MAUFRAIS 6573]

Probably a good idea to not put the finishes on until after the last tech game. I assume some folks up there have had their car get keyed by a crazy bitch with nothing to lose before.

2 year project and we couldn't even level the stadium?  It will look so bad on TV.  

 

Can somebody do a pixel check and confirm that the logo is centered on that field of (the wrong color) orange?

Boy oh boy, I hope the Rice-Kansas-Kansas State minipack option is still available.  They gotta be going lot hotcakes.  

Also heard a weird rumor earlier this week on campus...ESPN will be broadcasting the Oklahoma game from Dallas, not ABC as has almost always been the case (when FOX wasn't covering it).  I only mention it because ESPN obviously has much more flexibility in kick-off times than does ABC (though they typically mirror one another).  Not gonna be a night game obviously, but not necessarily confined to an 11 or 2:30p kick either.  FWIW

This shit looks badass. Even more badass after they add the LED lights next season. I don't care what some motherfucker from bolivia thinks. A few inches doesn't make a  goddamn difference when your dick swings as big as ours.

Seems promising for the elusive 2:30 kick given that they usually go straight from Gameday into a B10 matchup…

[Guest Lobo]

I'd love a 2:30p, always a nice reprieve from that early morning shitshow where I already regret everything I've ate and drank by 1030am.

This is one one I purchased

Have we tested it against "Sandstorm"?

I mean the Taco Bell ad.

That’s mudstorm

[TexasFan21 1275]

[Vito Andolini 9103]

It shows up more than expected.

[Red Five 40655]

Orange on the field looks good in person. Not perfect but such an improvement over what was there I can’t complain.

[CBHorn 414]

 

Looks like the longhorn is going to have a lit outline. Actually lighting, not lit like the Station.

Anybody else notice the pixilated screen yesterday? The thing is brand new and it is already not working correctly, just like the old one.

I thought the rest of the stadium looked incredible. I really look forward to seeing the finished product. A handful of things that are not done yet:

1) Digital boards on either side of the screen (or temporary covers until they’re here)
2) exterior façade on the southwest corner of the building
3) replacement of the east side sideline padding, which is currently not padding at all but just a vinyl curtain that does not match the orange on the rest of the stadium. The orange on the rest of the stadium looks great though!
4) seating around the lower part of the Longhorn cutout.

I'll go the other way - I like it. Subtle, not in your face, but you know it's there.

Well I am glad they did not paint it orange and outline it in white.

I hate fields that have a huge painted logo at midfiled. When teams are on that part of the field you can hardly see what the heck is going.

Guess I will take the subtle over gaudy but it is really not necessary.

Someone correct me if in wrong, but I thought it was the same screen as the old one and they just reconfigured the panels to make it wider.

I completely disagree.  I think it looks great.

[Saint Tacky 1610]

I prefer the new font for the yard lines over the former font.

[texifornia 56513]

Big fan out the outline, especially how it doesn't insist upon itself. Nice and classy.

I can only imagine what DKR would look like if the design committee consisted of Surly posters

Last coach was a big proponent of alignment and look how far that got us. I say let’s see how it plays out with misalignment.

Add me to the “I like the Texas silhouette” list. Curious how much it’ll appear on TVs during day games.

The goalposts would be perfectly centered. On the 50 yard line.

[Murfdogg21 4412]

Perhaps the goal post/field being 12 inches offset from the center of the Longhorn in the south stands will become a home field advantage, with visiting kickers bizarrely missing a lot of kicks just a hair wide left.

I mean, they couldn't get orange lights? That would seem like a more natural choice.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21781]

After they read the arguments over the field colors here they decided to just go with white

I agree, but the posters on this board would freak because the orange would be "too bright"

It looks like more of an off white though, maybe more of an eggshell.

Nah actually the white against the orange panels is going to be awesome.
