Seeing the actual construction makes me think we should have started from scratch.

1) The end zones don't match in size or shape.
2) The three decks in the middle look awkward because the wrap-around segment height is different and it doesn't fit flush with second deck. The end zone height is different than the wrap-around segment. It just doesn't flow and is awkwardly pieced together. We should have scrapped the 3 deck design.
3) You can tell decks 2 and 3 are older because their brown compared to the grey first deck.

Conclusion: it looks like an old renovated stadium that's been added on to and awkwardly put together, and for $450M, we could have gotten a new stadium that doesn't look piecemealed.

Meh, wait until it is done. You cannot buy as much of a stadium for $450 as you use to 10ish years ago.

a brand new stadium would've given us a top 10 defense this year

I agree, at this point I wish we did a complete demolition. For 450 mil I feel like it's way to hodge podge

Actually a new 100k stadium with the same amenities would probably cost about double what this renovation is costing us.

It would have been cheaper. $70m of the cost is doing it in stages, which is why the city of CS is kicking in half the extra cost. We're really getting a $380m stadium.

3 years ago the zoo was complaining about the stadium bathrooms and saying that we could never win a NC with that kind of stadium. Now the zoo is complaining about a 450 million dollar stadium (with new bathrooms) that holds over 100k fans and looks awesome because some isles don't line up.

Even if we built Jerryworld II on campus, I think people would complain.

its unique. it doesnt look like a cookie-cutter out of the box stadium. Big Deal.

IDGAF about symmmetry, end zones looking the same or any of that crap. This is a badass stadium that will be one of the premier venues in the nation for years to come

Using my brain, I imagine the finished project would be closed off... why do so now though, when it will have to be torn down again this offseason?

Some people are just too stupid for words

The quality trolls don't congratulate themselves afterwards. They just simply know.

Liar. Roofs on indoor practice field will still be dirty. All rendering shows the roofs as being pristine white.

No b*!&@ing about New Kyle until you've watched a game there in person. After you've heard how loud and rocking that place is, you'll take it all back anyway.

If we built some place else or played some where else and disregarded a speedy...er...fast 2015 season completion timeline then yes. But I agree it does look piecemealed. But given:

-it was decided to play at kyle in 2014
-wanted to be finished by 2015 season start
-magical 100k+ capacity
-existing conditions
-money restrictions for a redevelopment

What we're getting isn't terrible. I give it a 7/10. Would 12th man.
