I tried to find the height of various stadium decks a couple of days back and got no where.

I only found a brief and not terribly credible mention of 110' for Kyle.

Then you have stadiums that have a lowered field. (Kyle's in now 7' lower.) So finding quick apples to apples comparisons has eluded me.

But so did a brew pub about a year(?) ago. 25 bars in a .5 MI radius. Hard to not find something you like.

The view makes it look smaller than the original drawing.

That sucker is larger than life.

It's strange. It looks small in that pic. But well done. LSU needs a new video board badly.


SC needs one too. Our videoboard reminds me of an old magnavox television

Congrats on the renovation, Ags! Kyle Field looks pretty spectacular.

30 new suites and 700 additional club seats along with the destruction of the top concourse. The real improvements come next year.

No kidding.

Kind of like that behemoth statue on I-45 of Sam Houston out near Huntsville.

Are those temporary seatbacks (like what LSU installs in TS) that A&M is installing? I am glad yall are installing something because they look so much better than the plan bleachers. Yall really did a great job on the stadium (With the exception of the endzone where space limitations prohibited a facade) and I do not say this often but A&M gets a from me.

Bama the baseball stadium looks good, UK so does yall football stadium and OM the bball arena is going to be sick.

Well since the calender as turned to september I can no longer be nice to yall so I will give everybody's renovations a and leave this thread now.

I think everything in maroon is an actual seat. Everything silver is bleacher of course.

Yeah, I think they're all permanent armchair seats. Padded even, for the higher donor sections.

is the whole stadium going to be field turf? Or just foul territory?

who are you answering for?

If almost seems like you are answering for Kyle. Which if so i have to laugh. I was clearly asking the bama fan (who i responded to) and i mentioned foul territory (which football fields dont have).

If you somehow have knowledge about bama's baseball stadium and were answering on that then I'll be the a-hole of the hour.

Figured it was a misspelling/error.
