Probably large ugly cast in place retaining walls. Knowing AHTD they will be 50x bigger than necessary. Or a ugly cheap precast wall (think those walls you see around subdivisions like in Centerton). I wouls say level it to the university's property line and put a surface lot.

I'm on my phone but I will check AHTDs website when I get to a computer and see if there are any conceptual plans online

First phase is only MLK to Leroy Pond though. And to give you an idea, the current Garland project began design at AHTD in 2006 and is began construction in 2012

AHTD job 040581, Hwy 180 to Leroy Pond

Skip to sheet 17 for the juicy stuff. I hate reading AHTD plans for a multitude of reasons, including no leading dimension lines, and they put their erosion control and signing up front

There will be a stoplight at Leroy Pond. 2 lanes each direction with a left turn bay for traffic coming from the north

I know they'll never do it, but what Razorback Rd needs behind the west stands is to be dug down about 30 feet and have a plaza built over the top, joining that parking area with the stadium.
