That's truly remarkable. So the demo I saw being discussed was more or less prep work. Actual construction won't begin until after this season if I have that right. Are they re-doing the entire south end zone in one phase, to be ready for the 2014 year then? Really is an impressive feat to get that much work done and not disrupt the season.

Are you aware of any renderings of what the stadium will look like for the 2014 season, with just the Phase 1 renovations? Everything I pull up seems to be the complete renovations. Absolutely love the look of the completed ones though.

correct. There are a number of buildings built over the years that attach to or are in very close proximity to Kyle and all of those are goners.

There is no south end zone today. Kyle has forever been a horseshoe. We've had temporary bleachers put in the South for a few years now because we ran out of capacity. However, both Netum Steed and the scoreboard have to be demo'd because they are where the new seating will be.

I'm not. My guess is 3/4 of the stadium will look like the renderings and the West will look like it does today.
