I know the south endzone was already messed up, but it's a damn shame they lost the classic look except for on one side.

i agree, but this has happened to a lot of stadiums over the years that have added upper decks. there's a bunch of pictures on the last few pages of the stadium expansions thread on the secrant. there was a period of time where schools didn't seem to care about the aesthetics of stadium expansions as much as the most cost effective way to get more people in the stadium. it wasn't until the past 5-10 years where people started to rethink things and try to either renovate what they have, sometimes downsizing, to make stadiums more visually pleasing on the exterior or take that into account when making expansions.
