Both of Bama's end zones are bricked. Don't think they've renovated the sideline facade recently.

A&M was under time constraints and decided to forego hand-laid bricks whereas Bama and Tennessee decided to invest the time and money.


The scope of those projects do not compare. You think we should have handlaid all the brick around the entire stadium? Its not our fault we figured a smarter way to do things by using prefabbed brick panels.

Did you just now start following the thread?

We would have had to demolish a state-of-the-art newly renovated building to do that

Are you Ags a bit sensitive to the brick-like panels?


No, not upset, just trying to clarify.

the lines would be sloppy it would be probably almost impossible to maintain the lines over such a large structure this is the only way to do it and make it look professional


quote:

BDS is hand laid


Which immediately prompted some LSU fans to go splooge their cargo shorts because they think they got one on aggieigieies.

So, to clarify, over 75% of our façade is brick. BDS is about 20% to 25%. Completely different scale on the scope of work. So again, it would have been impossible to hand lay the entire area as designed on Kyle Field.

On another note, I never thought I would see LSU fans dickriding gump over brick and mortar.

I noticed you listed some teams' club seating.

Alabama has 159 Skyboxes; 1,690 The Zone-North premium seating; and 1,698 The Zone-South premium seating.

Also the Stadium Club, where 1000 ticket holders pay extra to have access to an indoor heated and air-conditioned lounge area before, during, & after the game. The Club includes 1,000 members who have access to the Stadium Club from gate opening, during the game, and for post-game as well. Stadium Club members have ticketed seats throughout the stadium.

Also have a few hundred North and South Field Suite tickets that include chairbacks and indoor facilities.

It really does. Is Kyle the tallest stadium? I don't think I could sit in some of those nosebleed rows.
