Agreed, I was being a dick because we have quotas to meet dammit but in reality it's very cool.

Looks like it will be a great looking renovation. I need to visit Fayetteville sometime.

that's pretty sexy.

i also like the way they spelled 'donald w reynolds razorback stadium' correct on this rendering- i remember the last one (at least at first) had it wrong.

Will the players still run through the snout?

I like that they have my tailgate spot in the pic here.

My favorite part of this latest renovation is the giant Hog on the backside of the big screen. I'm hoping it is backlit so it glows red at night.

Looks really nice, but they're only adding 3,000 seats?

It's adding more expensive seats.. and mostly adding a bunch of suites.

We are correcting massive design flaws over decades of additions and completely rebuilding the Broyles complex.

Gotcha. It would've been cool if they bowled in the whole thing, but left that spot by the hill a huge glass wall so people could still see the game.

This is a good call, IMO.

A pair of good seats to one SEC home game (for big 6 schools, mainly) a year can buy you a TV that delivers a worthwhile experience from your couch.

I think schools will continue to fill stadiums despite that but most schools don't need to be in the business of expanding their stadium. I think they're mostly better off improving stadium design, facilities, and amenities.

Its all suites and indoor/outdoor club seating. We have a pretty good waiting list for suites and club seating.

Its going to look similar to this:


It looks like this now.

Looks great. Hopefully will start keeping all games there instead moving some to Little Rock.


would love for A&M/Arky to be home and home instead of trapped in JerryWorld.

Someone from the 70's. The lower portion is the old indoor practice facility that was state of the art back then. Replacing it is long overdue. long overdue
