Jesus, that sounds like it would have to be done one at a time and will probably take 5 years to finish at least.
This is not going to be a small project to say the least.
Like others have said, there is a possibility of moving all home games to places like Reliant and having Kyle basically demolished and rebuilt. I still think that is a last option, but certainly not out of the question considering the amount of work needed.
Nothing official has been released, but either way, you can bet this is going to be a massive project.

OK thanks. I knew there was an expansion but I didn't know they were keeping the original building as well. (One of these days I plan to visit)

Can we send the bats to the Congress Avenue bridge in Austin? They're probably t-sippers spying on A&M practices.

When all you UT boyz "back that azz up" it's best just to joke about it and move away quickly. Before you think there's interest.

You like gay sex don't you? Just come out of the closet now, you keep talking about it. Or better yet, crawl into Mike's cage and present yourself.

I work with a guy who is a pretty well connected booster. I only know what he has told me.
There is a rich MFer here in Aggieland named Don Adam. He has made a fortune in banking. Well, he is going to donate some serious money to the construction fund for Kyle. Two numbers are being thrown around. One is $100 million, and one is $300 million. I don't know what he will base his donation on, but the $200 million difference means that there are currently two plans floating around.
The preferred plan is to close Kyle Field for a season and demolish and rebuild the first deck. Not the north endzone part though as that is only about ten years old. I don't think they know exactly what they want to do. I am sure that ADA compliance is going to cost a fortune as that structure is something like 80 years old.
I know that they are going to widen the concourses and redo all of the electrical stuff. I also know that they are looking at putting in lots of premium seating. I don't know that the ratio of boxes to club seating will be.
Supposedly the third deck is a separate structure and will not be affected by any of this. I haven't heard anything about the 2nd deck.
I just hope that whatever they do, Kyle Field still looks like an old traditional college football stadium when they're done. I fear another Soldier Field type of upgrade.
