The north addition will include new suites, loge boxes, club seats, and club areas. The east and west concourses will connect to allow flow of patrons around the stadium, as well as provide new concessions and restrooms. Additional and expanded entrances will improve patron flow. A new gameday locker room, training room, and pre/post game support rooms will be added for the football team.

Looks like Baker Hughes in Tomball.

That makes me sad. I always loved that part of our stadium. It's very unique.

There is no bigger cluster on gameday right now than people trying to walk both directions right behind the jumbotron. Extremely deficient sidewalk situation. A plaza, however small, will be nice.

We'll probably go glassy and modern, while everybody else is going "suburban bank". Windows giving panoramic mountain vistas tend to dictate that some.

I reaally like how Bama combined some curtain walls with a classic brick look.

What do they mean they will connect the east and west concourses?

It's going to be bowled in the north, like the south end zone.

It's pretty simple

Just what they say.

You can only walk from east to west via the south end zone concourse right now. They will add a north concourse so you can walk all the way around the stadium inside.

without reading the entire article, is this more of a renovation/upgrade or expansion of seating type project

When they came out with original plans in 2013, looks to just be bowling in stadium and only adding about 8,000 seats but adding an entirely new food court/concourse to match the south end zone.

Probably be around 80k capacity I would expect.

Makes sense now. I just wasn't sure if they meant they were connecting the inside of the stadium on the North side or if they were building something on the outside of the stadium on the south side so you don't have to go down into the security/ team entrance area.

Article says they will reduce upper deck seat prices, and also have a SRO option.

Sounds good to me. I've thought upper deck seats should be 25 bucks max for years.

Yea. Outside of Pig Heaven, upper decks should be 25-30 a pop.

I remember taking the survey in an email they sent out a few years ago. I like the idea of nothing but club seating and suites in the enclosed end zone. More seats for alcohol as well. Hopefully they will have the indoor food area in the new north like is on the second floor of the south end zone.
