10 out of 10 bats agree. Great stadium.

In all seriousness, anyone who doesn't think that stadium will look great is dumb.

It is beautiful. I love the architecture - very iconic.

Aggie Stadium wasn't even loud. I went expecting a raucous and intimidating environment and was disappointed because the loudest the stadium got was when 5 guys dressed in all white ran around dancing.

New stadium redesign incorporates two large canopies that will enhance the volume. That and the 102+K seating capacity should make it noisier than ever.

Is that the basketball arena on to the right of the stadium in the pic?


No, that's the Indoor Track Facility. Basketball arena is on the other side of the road and tracks near the baseball stadium.

The biggest thing I am excited about with Kyle though is they are putting in some incredible technology infrastructure. Should have great internet and phone access for instance and lots of small touches. They have tried to do everything they can to make it as cutting edge as possible and really improve the fan experience. Old Kyle had some crap sight lines and was very limited because the 1st Deck was concrete from the 20's that all of the plumbing and other infrastructure essentially started there. The new design is also set to emphasize keeping the sound inside the stadium and project it on the field, the stands are much closer now with 7 rows of seats added to the East and West Decks since they lowered the field.

They didn't cut any corners.

Excellent points. Last time UF was there there wasn't a south endzone & the first row was farther away too. And he's pretty much a liar. I was at that game. Crowd was strong and loud. It was our first SEC game, season opener, and a good game.

It's still in a flat shite hole with no trees.

Every single picture of that place looks like dogshit. Can they not plant trees and pretend its not in a tumbleweed desert?

Death Valley and BDS are still cooler and 5x more iconic.

It just looks like another big, Texas frick off thing that you love building down there to me.

It was more iconic when it was that jumbled tacklebox looking thing.

Loud by A&M standards.

I'm assuming you've never been to Death Valley, The Plains, or The Swamp. Because all three are way louder than A&M. Its not even close

Looks nice, but are Yall really gonna have "Paul Bear Bryant" in bright lights above one of the entrances?

No, that was in the original plans to have former head coaches on the stadium. It was cut early on in the process.

Quit trolling. Kyle field gets objectively loud. I won't say it's the loudest, but it'll be right there going forward and anyone who argues that is ignorant.

Notice which stadium is in the top 5 of all of those links posted earlier in this thread? And which one that wasn't?

It's nicer than it used to be.
It's not nicer than Bryant-Denny.

I just recently toured the new $15 million television station/studio/digital media center in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
It's a fully-functioning tv station, WVUA, with morning and evening news broadcasts, weather center with meteorologists, like any tv station.
I don't know of any stadium that has that.

It looks so much better than the old tacklebox pos design.

I think y'all just copied the 12 million dollar studio ESPN just built into Kyke field a year ago.

So you make at least the second SEC school to get one

Someone posted an article a week or so ago saying that they are having a hard time keeping the bats from trying to re-colonize at the construction site.


Who knows.
