Tiger Tracks had an LSU rep on named Rhett Butler...I shite you not ...say that the SEZ addition would have 66 suites. Knowing each suite has a capacity of 23 (including 4 standing room only spaces) that's 1,518 total suite capacity. There's around 3,000 club seats and 1,500 general seats (mainly for visitors), plus somewhere around 1,500 standing room only (SRO) tickets available. The total comes to around 7,518.

The old capacity was 92,542. Adding 7,518 gives a figure of 100,060.

It will be interesting to see the final number we know some changes were made, we just don't know how much at this point.

Thanks for the info. Nothing official has been listed. In the pictures George Raymond posted I don't see room for 1,500 standing room only, but that is just me. The more the merrier.

No doubt. It looks fantastic.

And it looks like they're replacing the bleachers in the Greek section. As soon as I'm out of there.

Standing Room Only spaces will pretty much mirror the amount of general seating...


I was also told that Stadium Club South members will be able to bring a limited amount of guests that will be able to stand and watch in the club levels...either inside or out in the areas between the seats and the windows.

The stadium looks great. A stadium with a history like that deserves no less than 100,000 capacity

If the plans are the same as in this rendering, then that is just the first of the new ribbon boards going up...

They're replacing the bleachers along the whole north side. No worry from me because we sit chairback son

I hated the ribbon boards when they first appeared in JHS. Very distracting for awhile until I taught myself to ignore them.

Here's a link to the OM parking garage/arena construction cam. It's dark so you can't see much, but it's really coming along. The garage will be complete before the season starts.

Camera #1


ETA: The other camera links aren't working

Adzillatron is complete.

I'll just keep stealing from TexAgs.
The field should be going down next month. (Currently growing off campus)

Isn't Oklahoma already building a bigger one? And before they finish I'm sure someone else will one-up them as well.

Don't think so.
But I don't particularly care, either.
Was just posting the dog-days-of-summer tweet.

Yeah I think theirs is going to be a lot bigger actually. And I have no doubt, when tu closes in their endzone, they'll tear down theirs and make one bigger than that. But it'll be fun while it lasts.

I actually think Oklahoma's expansion is smart. I know that A&M can sellout our stadium for the time being, but going a bit smaller, and adding a party deck would have been cool.
