Not to me. Goddammit, I love that tackle box

Too bad we can't just replace windows and claim our stadium looks awesome

that is embarrassing. Will that stadium even hold bama and lsu's road fans? The fair-weather barners won't travel

no

it's really weird the way its so open to the public. There is a ton of field access from the stands. It wouldn't take anything more than a good jump to sprint onto the field mid-game. There's really no barrier to cross. It's a straight shot from the concession stand to the 50 yard line

The only thing uglier than our stadium's architecture is our campus's architecture. Most of our buildings were built with no thought to a unified, ascetic design. Walking thought campus is like a walk though the 1940s, 50s, 60s, a LOT of 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s.

We've got some pretty spots, next to the bunkers.

Hopefully we can get our stadium renovated soon.

It sure is if you have to sit in the original lower level that was a WPA project.

You cannot see over the person in front of you. Don't let the aggy tell you about tradition. The reason they stand is because they can't see the field when sitting.

They never should have added the second deck and made a fatal mistake adding a third rather then tearing down the entire POS and starting over. But you can see Houston from the view in the new end zone

RJB, our stadium holds as many as 92,000. Look at stadium seating records. We often have 88,000 in a stadium that's official capacity is 83,000

The decks are free standing each. The first decks are the first to be renovated.

And my season tix are 1st deck, 17 rows up. You can see perfectly sitting down.

And just an FYI, our end zone stands are the exact same as UF's. We used their blue prints to save money

Kyle isn't going to get any prettier either. Our school is famous for engineers, not architects. The end sone decks we just built don't even match up with the decks on either side, so even if we wanted to in the future, we can't connect them on the corners and make it look smooth. Sigh. I'm sure when they build the second end-zone decks, they will make it different than even the other endzone.

Coke, have you not seen the different drawings of the proposed renovations? They will connect the zone to the E and W decks

How?!?! They don't match at all. The elevations are way off and I'd bet the downslope angles are as well.
