Hate to be that guy but...it looks terrible.
I mean, it looks "nice", but it doesn't fit the stadium at all. This honestly looks like a Sun-Belt level endzone. It looks tiny in comparison to the rest of the stadium, and I would venture to say it also looks less imposing than the current south endzone stands.
I definitely appreciate the improved facilities, training areas, locker room, offices, etc that it provides, but I feel like it doesn't integrate with the stadium at all.
Really does make it look like a high school (or Sun Belt) stadium...

I kinda have to agree with you. The Bowl View of the SEZ just looks small and out of place. I wonder if they planned it with the ability to expand seating upwards and connect to the existing seating. I'm kinda surprised that this is all you can get for $98m

Needs to be taller. Where are the video boards?
'Bout time something was built.

It's as if they are trying to promote the view behind the stadium...er, nice tree line folks.
I agree, it needs to be more imposing.

It's not an expansion of the stadium. It's a football only complex (that we desperately need) attached to the stadium in order to replace the oldest, most dilapidated area of the stadium killing two birds with one stone.
It addresses what we need. Anything bigger would just be superfluous seating that would be empty anyway.
They could have built something similar to what Arkansas has.
IMO, preferable to attach it to the stadium and increase concourse space for fan flow during the game.
If you are looking for more of a horseshoe design then that would come from the North EZ by placing permanent seating around the M and reworking the video board.

this project had so much potential and it seems every new version of renderings gets worse and worse.
Whoever the architect is for this needs to be fired. There wasn't even the slightest attempt to tie this into the existing stadium.
Somebody is making bank for this shitty design.

add me to the short list of, "blah". With 100 million I feel like we could have done better, Id like to see the SZ expansion to be more vertical.

Are you sure you guys aren't looking at this as a stadium upgrade? It's not supposed to be, it is an additional facility with a stadium location.
Next, new indoor practice facility with a 100 yard field.

the hell it isn't supposed to be a "stadium upgrade". It was a combination of new football facilities AND stadium upgrade. What is the point of combining projects if you make something you already have worse?
Lets look at the "stadium" aspects:
1) There are literally interior stadium seats in the project
2) there are added luxury suites
3) there are improved amenities and access for seats in this area
4) they have to demo that end of the stadium for this project.
5) this contains the new STADIUM locker rooms.
in no way can you not call this a stadium upgrade project. it is that and more.

Worse? What in the frick are you talking about? Have you seen the South EZ as it currently sits?

As already stated in this thread, the current SEZ "looks" better from the inside. It goes up higher, has a more intimidating appearance and likely holds sound in much better.
This project takes away from the inside of the stadium and focuses on everything outside. They should have followed the 2nd renderings released. That would have been a fine project that checked all boxes despite being a slight capacity reduction.

If you think this looks worse than the current South EZ then I'm just not sure what to say to that.
