Literally every single feature of Kyle Field will be superior to Tiger Stadium.
You really seem to be misinformed. Allow me to set you straight...even when completely finished in 2015, Kyle will have less suites, less premium seating overall, and less chairbacks throughout the stadium.
Not taking anything away from the new Kyle, but just giving Tiger Stadium it's due.
And you're so welcome.

Tone down the insecurity. It's ruining the thread. TIA.

I teased him once about the erector set bleachers in the south end zone, and he's never forgiven me.
I'm confident most of the other Aggie fans know I'm just kidding, and that I think their new stadium will be amazing.
I'm also very proud of Tiger Stadium, and with good reason.

Well of course, it's the cathedral of college football.

Looks like they're finally finishing support structures on east side so they can get rest of upper deck built

There will be at least six of the over-sized "Founder's Suites" on each side, as well as other premium seating IIRC.
How are they going to fit them? The 2nd and 3rd levels are remaining as currently constructed on that side, correct?
Did they lower the first deck enough to create that space between the first and second decks? This actually makes pretty good sense...

Don't know the particulars but the new first deck is lower and the suites will be between first and second deck.

Tiger stadium is the most impressive stadium that is expanding this offseason IMO
Kyle field is really great too but it still looks like a skeleton of a stadium compared to tiger stadium.
I'm a sucker for outside stadium design. LSU's stadium walking from the outside to the inside looks epic.
Looks great Tigers And Ags

North End Zone, you mean. And that may never happen. All depends on the demand for premium seating. And whether an architect could design an expansion that would fit in a limited space.
I was talking about Faurot. I think LSU's stadium is good as is.

What will Mizz stadium hold when done?

No one knows for sure. From everything I've seen I'm guessing 72500. So capacity only increased a little but a lot of chappy GA and temp bleacher seats are now upper deck seats and suites.

It's currently being gutted.
"Skeleton" is actually a very accurate word for it, at present.
Tiger Stadium is awesome.
But comparing the two right now (KF & TS) is nuts.

Looks to be up there with the best
I really like the look of stadiums that give you the "it looks like a building" feeling instead of " it's a bunch of concrete bleachers".
I hope when Vaught -hemming way is expanded in the next year or two that it is given an outside makeover to look like a building instead of bleachers.

We're all going to homerish when it comes to our stadiums but here's why Kyle is just ho-hum to me: It's been done before. A ton. It looks just like Bama, Tennessee, FSU, etc. There's nothing unique about it. Also, from the pics I've seen at least, it looks like y'all are going with a more steel beam structure with a brick facade. LSU, on the other hand, poured concrete and actually has some character. If we could only get the rest of our stadium on the same page.

Looking great, man.

Well, TBH, It's never been done before ON THAT SCALE. It's an incredible project, and it will blend in well with their other athletic facilities when finished in 2015...
..and as you said, I'd love for Tiger Stadium to have a unified, cohesive look all the way around on the outside. I'm in total agreement there.
As far as the inside though, Tiger Stadium doesn't take a back seat to any other stadium. That's where I'm a homer as well.

Tiger Nick check your facts and math. 2013 cap was 67 something. Some additional seats will be lost on east side lower bowl due to base of upper deck. Everything I've seen indicates something between 71 and 74.
