Cue the haters. Don't lie, you'd love to have something like this built for JHS...



...especially on the outside...



...because this is what it looks like now:...



Even the old south end zone at TS looked better than that...

I think that picture was taken around 96/97 and I believe we were at about 72K then.

What is the purpose of not putting a facade on the old erector set thing? It can't just be money, are they planning on a future expansion?

Given, Mizzou fan talking about JHS is what it is, but it's a real question.

I want to say the final number for the Tiger Stadium expansion will be around $85-90 million. In the last 10 years, LSU has spent over $300 million on Tiger Stadium.

No clue. Both end zones are erector set...



To be fair, Tennessee's Neyland Stadium looked like that for years as well...



..until they recently bricked it up...

When is A&M's supposed to be done? I'm looking to make the trip in the fall.


It won't be fully done but you should make the trip. frick the haters, CS is a great place to get sloshed on a game day. The tailgating is much more spread out than OM but should be great for that game and NG is 20-25 bars deep and a mile from the stadium

The south end zone expansion itself was budgeted at $85 million. The other improvements...resealing the concrete for 3/4's of the stadium, updating both the home and visitors locker rooms, the new HD scoreboard in the north end zone...came on top of that.

We had big plans but instead had to unexpectedly divert all resources to rebuilding Toomer's Corner.

I think Jordan Hare would look great with a new outer facade. Are there any plans to enclosing one of those endzones with a new upper deck? If so, that could be a reason for delay.
