State's got a really really nice looking facility now. Kudos to y'all.



It's very unique and has a different feel than most SEC stadiums.

Agreed, DWS looks like an entirely new place, which is great.

Looks like Mizzou's is coming along very nicely as well.

Actually, I'd say it's finally starting to look like most of the big boy stadiums in the conference

Either way, props to y'all Looks very nice and easily shits on OM's stadium.

Seems like some new seats right? How many, just curious, not saying you don't warrant them.


We added about 6k seats. We've sold out every home game since mid 2009. Although a couple of them weren't attended quite as well when it seemed all momentum was lost at one point last year. The UK game on a Thursday during fall break was a disaster.

Another view from the new west elevator tower...

That stadium would look fantastic if the older upper deck looked like the newer one.

MSU's renovation is fantastic, arguably the most visually appealing of all the SEC renovations year. I never would have imagined they could throw something that nice together.

Agreed. States looks classic. Very well done, and seemingly understated yet pimp all at the same time.

Digging all the love. I'm just glad this will add to peoples experiences at DWS. I'm tired of seeing people rank us so low just because of capacity. I would put up our atmosphere against a lot of the big boys in the conference. Not saying it's better, but it definitely is comparable.

I like the cowbells. I rarely take one into the game, but It's something you have to experience. They aren't going anywhere btw

We just need our morons to follow the terms of the compromise...and actually yell when they are supposed to instead of just using a cowbell as a crutch...

The transition from ringing to yelling is amazing to behold when we do it right and the place actually gets louder IMO(Arky game 2010).

I'm a state fan that thinks the cowbell is a neat and intimidating tool when used right -- but should never be attempted to mess up the other team. Anyone that has been field level will tell you the sound projects up and is not loud down there. The sound in unison to songs before games is cool as shite. Sorry...

Scott field is looking real sexy. Hopefully this will encourage Bjork not to half-arse our stadium expansion Our new expansion renderings gave me a reverse boner.

Y'all have the potential to do a badass expansion. The renderings look like a very cheap solution. Hell, the picture shows that the expansion won't even reach the height of the east and west sides. Hopefully, y'all have a committee that can fix that.

Yeah supposedly the jumbo tron and the Fed Ex building are blocking the way for a full expansion. (I think that is just a convenient excuse. A&M would LTFAO if we told them that.) I think it would look a lot better if we completely bowled in our stadium and we connected the South Endzone Club level to the club level on the East side and connected that to a mirror image club level look in the North Endzone. But we'll probably stick with the current rendering because WAOM.

Has Ole Miss updated this side of VHS? If not, that really needs to happen.
