The new stadium would be built on a 93-acre plot of land off of Interstate 35 right on the edge of the Brazos River. The complex will also feature a bridge joining the stadium with the campus to complete some breathtaking scenery. Funding for the project has come in the form of "the largest capital gift in university history".
The stadium itself will seat 45,000 people and features a canopy that will shade half of the spectators throughout the day as well as "open concourses with views directly into the stadium, suites, loge boxes, indoor and outdoor club seating, designated seating for Baylor students and the Baylor band, and an event center and Stadium Club for year-round use."

That my friends is how you build a fricking stadium. Well done.

Right across from the law school on the Brazos. and there is nothing there right now (they had the land hoping for the Bush Library). Great location, great design. Like it a lot. If they keep that same brick style, it will blend real nice with the campus and other onsite facilities.

Love the design except for the overhangs, too soccerish for me.

Why would a school like Bayloy need more? This will create a more intimate environment.

They have the lowest enrollment of a Big12 school and averaged 40k attendance in 2010. I don't think 45k is that bad of a number, and I definitely wouldn't put anything higher than 55k.

Not a fan of the stade, but maybe it's necessary in the South. The open end looks nice, but dramatically lowers the decible level on the field.
Are they going to let fans park their boats there on gameday al al Washington?

Why have a 70k stadium that sits half full?
Make the tickets worth something for big games and build up your program. You can always expand

Am I the only one who thinks those walking paths over the water will prove to be rather dangerous following a long day of drinking?
