aTm is upgrading their stadium, and it's gonna look pretty damn good when they are done.
Renderings of the $425 million renovation to Kyle Field are starting to leak out, and they look mighty impressive.
The work is supposed to begin on Nov. 10, a day after Texas A&M plays its final home game of the 2013 season.
The new seating capacity is expected to exceed 100,000 and could make Kyle Field the largest stadium in the SEC. Currently, Tennessee's Neyland Stadium has the largest seating capacity (102,455).
To get a glimpse of some of the renderings of the new Kyle Field, click here.
With Kyle Field expected to surpass 100,000 in seating capacity, that means the SEC would have three stadiums that seat more than 100,000. Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium has a seating capacity of 101,821.
Eight of the 14 home stadiums in the SEC seat at least 80,000 people.

I'm in limbo land here. There is no privacy here, and I won't be on my personal laptop for another couple of weeks.

The UT(Texas) folks out here are shitting bricks over A&M. They thought for sure they would get the shit beat out of them in the SEC and combine that with how shitty UT has been lately it make for fun sports fan watching.

Hopefully, they won't take the Tennessee route by simply dividing the seat width by half to get to their desired capacity. Neyland Stadium is cool and all, but each seat measures somewhere around 6" in width. This sardine can layout keeps you really close to Uncle Sani's cushion of bourbon, but makes for a rather intimate gathering.

Moving up to 50,000?

Mmmm. The land of the one cheek seat. I almost remember it well.

Something like that. On teh television, their stadium looks smaller than some 6A high school stadiums in the Birmingham area.
Seriously though, I am bidding on the project to expand their stadium. Looks like they are closing in one
endzone.

Mizzuo may want to hold off on their expansion because they could become the new Vandy/Ole Miss/Miss State/Kentucky.

That's a bad move. They can't fill it up as it stands now.

Fixt.

Can't disagree. Sounds like they may have some cash burning a whole in their pocket. Did they, and A&M, get a check from the SEC last July?

Jay Jacobs gave us great basketball arena. To play shitty basketball.
The least he could do is get a stadium expansion...to play shitty football in.
