Sam Torn of the 12th Man Foundation called the renovation the "most extensive and expensive renovation of a collegiate football stadium in history."
No other program has had to essentially start completely over. How did Kyle Field get in that kind of shape? BDS was over 80 years old when both endzones were added. Nothing to the original structure had to be replaced.

Sounds badass.

We really aren't starting over. In fact, only the west side is being torn down. The first deck of the east side will be replaced, but the other two will remain intact. Those decks will just be rehabilitated.
I'm not qualified to answer why it's in such bad shape. I can only say there's a lot to it that's very old.

A lot of the internal wiring is out fire code and was grandfathered with the stipulation that if any part of the structure that contains the old wiring is worked on, it must be replaced. Welp we're working on it now so it must now be replaced. Back when the north zone went up, all they did was demolish the horseshoe. the out of code sections remained untouched.

At the time the PUF was divied up, we only had 1/3 if the attendance as texas. We don't bring it up because if we did, tech and other public schools can try to get more

Great touch. Can't think of a better way to memorialize the 12th Man.
