It seems that the construction has really slowed down especially for football since 2016 or so. Is anybody renovating anything now?

Unconfirmed rumors, but I have heard we will be hanging a banner.

LSU is putting up partitions where ex-players can "shake hands" with current players in privacy.

The renovation booted me from my seats, so you could certainly say I got buttfricked

Slowed down? Alabama is currently under $92.5MM renovation and upgrade to BDS. Construction commenced within days of the final home game.

I read somewhere that Alabama is starting or fixing to start some work on BDS. I also believe Tennessee is fixing to start a big project in a yr or two

I'm sure most of the programs in the SEC has some sort of project getting off the ground or in some planning stage

Damn, Bama is building another locker room? Didn't you just do this about 3 years ago?

Are they also reducing capacity in the stadium to accommodate the video boards and recruiting lounge?

The loss of seating is almost entirely related to the new boxes. They kicked out a bunch of us (we are moving, so we still have tickets) in the middle sections.

Well, yes. There used to be threads where almost every SEC school was doing major facility work for years. Even your $92 million project is not nearly as major as we saw back then.

Bama believes if you aren't constantly improving and upgrading you're getting behind. They slated +$90MM for a very very nice BDS.

I wish that Ole Miss would renovate the councourses under the stadium, ESPECIALLY the west side. The rest of the stadium is pretty modern but the west concourse is like stepping back in time 40 years.

The other thing I wish they would do is to bring some synergy to the stadium so that we don't have the look of 4 different stadiums for each of the 4 sides.

I kind of wish that Ross Bjork never even built the north endzone. It's been nothing but a disappointment because he went cheap on the materials. So we have an entirely concrete stadium except for his endzone which he used metal. It looks like dog shite.
