State already broke ground on their expansion.

Nothing wrong with an endzone suite at Kyle. You are at a good angle for viewing the field and have the Jumbotron right in front of you. It may not be as nice as being on the 40 but if it is half the cost I could certainly see why people would want it.

It has been stated by Billy Liucci that the new Kyle field will look very similar to the rendering that floated around months ago.

Ours is already under construction and will be for the next 2 years. Seating capacity is being increased from 71,004 to ~78,000

Don't see why aTm is an outcast, they can handle almost all SEC teams, great fan base, nice stadium, etc. Yeah I know people say their stadium looks like a "tackle box" but I like it.

So your stadium will look just like Floridas?

Next SEC Stadium Expansion? Texas A&M or Missouri?
I hear they're cutting the seats in half again at Neyland to up their capacity.
Must be a lot of bulimics expected.....

I was thinking a combination of Lucas Oil Stadium and Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Check the dates... He wrote that last April...
Davis-Wade expansion as of today:
Can't see it clearly, but all the upright columns are already started. We will finish the lower level seen here before football season 2013 to avoid losing student seating capacity.

Why is there a guy sitting in a box with "This is our State" written on it?

suites and club seats. Why else do you think that's the focus of every new NFL stadium and every recent college expansion?
Our expansion 15 years ago was all about suites and club seating - one of the few times Arkansas has been ahead of the curve. Opinions vary greatly on Broyles, but he hit that one out of the park.

I really like that there is a concourse on above the second deck that wraps around, but other than that, it seems to have a television right where Reveille's scoreboard is.
I like that we are giving our former first lady's something better than a middle school gym scoreboard, but a tv seems so impersonal. We need to fix this.
