Baylor's new football stadium

[Nexus]

Largest financial gift in school history to fund new Baylor stadium

Why don't they just build onto the stadium that they have now? The new one says it will only hold 45,000 with potential to expand to 55,000. The one they have now holds 50,000 already. I don't know the specifics, but it doesn't look bad. It's cool, but it's definitely overboard IMO

How much are they paying to make that river crystal clear?

 

[ZRod]

That is definitely not what Waco looked like when I was in the area a few years ago.

The only way that stadium will ever get filled is if their opponent is Nebraska :lol:

The setting is the best part of the proposal. The actual stadium design is really boring.

Where does the big tarp go that covers all those empty seats??

Spending millions of dollars on a football stadium? They should be using that money to feed the hungry and help the sick! Afterall, it is a Christian University. :sarcasm

45,000?? That's big. For a Texas highschool team.

It sure looks cool, but I agree with Shark in that they should just add on to there current stadium.

Whatever they're doing, I'm sure it won't hurt their program. They're definitely on the way up.

Good for them.

They should have spent the money on a new quarterback.

Oh, it was A&M that went to the $EC

Kind of sad that their building up their stadium by saying that plenty of people will see it....from their cars.

"expected to be built on a 93-acre site on Interstate 35, one of the nation's busiest highways, traversed by more than 42 million drivers annually"

See what happens with a couple winning seasons? Donors just start popping up out of nowhere. :blink:
