re: New Kyle Field RFP is out...

The playing field will be lowered approximately seven feet and moved approximately eighteen feet to the south. The relocation of the field will also improve sightline issues for the north end zone seats and allow for the addition of six rows of seating to be added on the east and north sides of the stadium.

Pretty genius way to handle the stadium's current configuration shortcomings with the lower level being built too long IMO. I had been curious about how they would handle this. This will put the fans closer to the field, while also centering the field in the main grandstand.

Only downfall to that approach is that the upper decks will no longer be quite centered, but 18 feet is unlikely to be too terribly noticeable...
