I thought they are changing out the big stadium lights from Mercury vapor/HPS/halogen or whatever to LED

Maybe both?

Might as well make this the football facility catch all thread. Does anyone have the renderings of the recruiting space? The led lighting is that strip lighting around the stadium like Bama and other schools have, right?

 

 

Lol at all the losers here still whining about the SEZ. "Oh, it's empty." It won't be as empty when we win. Then you guys can buy the tickets there for 500 apiece on stubhub when the rich guys can actually sell them. But I'm guessing most of you probably aren't paying for that. Until then you'll have to deal with some guys getting drinks being late for kickoff when it's 110 degrees outside. But the weird thing to me is, from my seats, it doesn't seem that empty it all, the seats are all full of hot ass young women and the occasional celebrity or former UT athlete. Weird. 

As for the whining about the capital view corridor, who gives a flying fuck. Once the rule was tossed out that nothing could be higher than the Capital and the Frost Bank building was built, it's all been shit running downhill anyway. Whining about 1 fucking view corridor, who gives a fucking shit. Give me a massive TV in the NEZ. 

I was under the impression the LED lights are the floodlights like Georgia has that can blanket the whole stadium in Burnt Orange. If it's just some ribbon lights, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

Every time I fucking come to the football board I regret it.

The frost building was the first thing taller than the capitol?

Yes, as I remember it they amended the Capitol View Corridors in 2001 to allow it to be built along with some of the DKR expansion

The Tower is 4’ 4-5/16” taller than the Capitol building.

That page shows 46 Austin buildings that exist or are under construction that are taller than the capitol.  Some were built before the Frost building.  Looks like the tower was the first.

When finished, Waterline will be the tallest building in Austin, more than three times taller than the capitol.

I think it could potentially be both that way they are compatible and can be synced together for light shows that tie into the SEZ.

I always thought it would have been cool if the east side was the same as the west side. 

[hookemATL 11602]

Put the AstroTurf back and the track around the field and allow fans to come onto the field and slip in piles of wet bevo shit. Ah memories. 

[MAUFRAIS 6571]

One thing that bugs me about quietly getting rid of the 6 flags, is that now most of the time we do 3. American, Texan, UT. Which is fine. I get the (stupid) reason. But then we put the Texan at the same height as UT for symmetry. What we should’ve done is US and Texas at one height in the center, then 2 lower UTs on either side.

I know you are not serious, but with the way the place is constructed now I don’t think you could put the track back in if you wanted to. Taking away that much structure at the end zones might destabilize the entire thing.

For sure. Just a random childhood memory I have holding onto my parents hands as they swang me back and forth on the field after a game. Don’t remember when they stopped doing that but couldn’t have been long after. 

[Sleepygrad 1029]

I have memories of playing on the high jump and pole vault mats in the n end during games in the early 80s

There's a thread on 247 with pictures from a guy that does team laundry.

According to him the same company did the Astros & Bama lights

So they're taking down all of the light poles on the east side.  I don't know if that means that the lighting will only be on the west side or what.

Look at Bamas stadium. Lighting will be exactly like that. Will be sick at night games.

Can't wait to see thousands of aggy bathed in burnt orange.

Edit- yes I can, I can wait forever. Is it a done deal we have to play gomer every year or is there a chance we can schedule a slightly saner SEC opponent?

If Billy Liucci is to be believed, Texas plays aggy annually at Collie Station - yes every season there.

[Ghost of LL 15469]

So the light poles or going back up.  Or perhaps more accurately, different light poles are going up.

I don't think so, the new lights appear to be mounted differently and may not require a pole.

Well, I'm looking at it now.  Yesterday, the northern two poles were taken down.  Now, the northern-most pole is back up, and it looks fairly different from the two older poles that are south of the 50-yard line.

I'd be interested in seeing the new.

We should donate the old stadium lights to the Stanford baseball program so they can replace their garbage little league ones.

That's so much nicer than the other rendering. What's going to be in the big building next to the swim facility?

Also the second picture you see the top of uprights....is it going to be built below ground?  to give max height?

 

Also parking underneath? that's pretty sick.

I would like the same for Folson Field.  My model is late 1990's.

I wonder if the west side upper deck will be remodeled? I think someone once told me that it's basically impossible or something?
