  1. Just one more thing SP effed up. They tore down the field house, should have just taken it all the way and done what they are proposing in the south.
  2. That's what worries me. Please please please don't just put lipstick and rouge on the south stands. I really wish they would have just bitten the bullet before north stadium expansion and demo'd the stadium and built anew on that site. I know that would have meant some massive inconvenience for a few years but they could have built something very nice for 500 and we wouldn't have this mess. As it is now, I'd like to see them complete the south as envisioned, then about 10 years down the road tear out the risers on the upper and lower decks in east and west (not at the same time of course) and rebuild them, you could make it all essentially one level and redo everything underneath. By doing this you get the fans in row 1 a bit closer to the sideline and higher up, and you get rid of those god awful obstructed view seats under the upper deck. Essentially the original stadium would be the columns and exterior facade.
  3. A couple things to think about IMO. The version from Trev already reduced the capacity 7k (some due to chairbacks in the rest of the stadium I'm sure). So scaling it back to what hooked posted likely takes another 10k off here I would guess, The other thing to note is that 450 had a lot of other improvements outside south stadium. I say do south stadium and then take care of all that other stuff a little farther down the line. As for the Longwhorns, much different project scope and some years ago. Things aren't what they used to be cost wise. that 150 million yesterday is probably 225 or more today.
  4. Nothing official here, but kind of a cool video I stumbled upon. I wish whoever did this fleshed the idea out a little more. Like show it from a distance without the animation.
  5. Can't wait to see some better renderings on what exactly the south stands will look like. I've heard that may be a year out.
  6. I've never seen a poster have so many good ideas like red hedges, etc, followed by garbage ideas like tarping east stadium. Those are some great seats up there, although you don't feel quite the same atmosphere as you do lower. These seats aren't any higher than any NFL stadium that seats 70k and has all chairbacks.
  7. I still don't get people acting like our athletic department can't do more than one thing at a time. We have to build the team before we worry about the stadium, etc. Trev can address all at the same time. He's already put the football staff in place that he thinks will turn the tide. He gave Rhule ample salary to hire the guys he wanted. He's got a huge support staff. Doing the stadium project isn't taking from NIL, what we can pay coaches, or anything else. South stadium has been an eyesore for too long, and I've only sat there once, but apparently it's an enormous pain in the arse to get in and out of, get concessions, etc. This is long overdue and the perfect time to do it IMO.
  8. Not sure how long this has been up and running, but here is a live feed from the back of the new complex. LIVE FEED
  9. I would prefer one of these two: Is that Nebraska Republic shirt actually sold anywhere? That's honestly kinda funny. It is. I just ordered one, I think it's hilarious. Link.
  10. I didn't figure it would go up much higher than that. But I am disappointed they didn't do the brick on the street level (under "int the deed the glory").
  11. IMO, it's just a couple of tweaks from being a really nice alternate. First off, I am a fan of the monochrome (as long as it isn't monochrome white), but it needs a belt to break it up just a bit. Second, if you can change the sans serif N to black, why not do the iron N for a game? Third, speaking of black, dump it! So sick of the BFBS trend. All the black elements change to a cream and this uni is a winner. It's the best of the three but still needs a few tweaks.
  12. Plain Jane Beautiful. Beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! How far up will the brick go on the west? My guess is it covers the basic concrete looking areas. So just up to the flags in this picture. I would prefer that it went all the way up over the arched windows on the sides but it's probably not going. A welcome addition regardless.
  13. Really wish I could find that King of House for download somwhere.
  14. Why is it even needed?? Seriously, 2 ribbon boards, 1 GIANT bigscreen and 4 smaller ones. Don't we have enough information points as it is??
