Sexy. How long would such a reno take?

Awesome. Just make the box around the scoreboard smaller.


"Assist, Protect, Defend"

Really like the ideas, probably better than any others that I've seen. Good job.

I know that the exterior is the least of our concerns (as far as facade goes) when dealing with the functionality of an expanded & remodeled Kyle.

With that said, I do like this quote:

"- New facade on all sides (brought the arches back from the 20's)"

Is that done with brick or what is your idea for the material on that? I do like the idea of a new/matching facade.

There are no lights?!? Are we stuck with all day games as the new kid in the SEC?!?

Am I the only one that doesn't like this at all?

this is awesome!

Nice job, but...

I'd rather see a mirror image of the Zone on the South end and the video screens in the corners...

I like symmetry in stadiums. I don't like the rise in the bottom deck of the south end zone. I prefer more seating to sky boxes.

Coming over with us is going to be a great imputus for upgrading Kyle. Mr. Engineer, what's the seating capacity on that?

FAIL! Goal lines aren't yellow!

The waiting list for suites and our years of not selling out regular seats disagrees with you.

They are taking out from 4,000-5,000 seats in Neyland for 'special' seating. Said they can make some good revenue from the nose-in-the-air folks. I don't see how we will ever be able to put 109,000+ in there again.

South end zone needs as many seats as North end zone. Capacity is 100,000+ that way.

Greta job OP. One suggestion. Close off the opening between the zone and the east and west stands to keep the noise bouncing around in the stadium.

No. 4th deck or nothing.

Very cool. I like that it's not completely closed in which could restrict air flow and make it even hotter.

Awesome, very good job OP. Epic post for a rook!

Best I've seen so far.

For all the "close the corners" folks... You do realize that the E and W side decks aren't level with eachother, right? There are W side suites between the decks so there will never be a uniform wrap-around look on the N side.

Looks great! I hope something like this happens!

How many will this design fit?

Don't like it.

I don't like the GIANT walls between the original first deck and the added first deck. There's got to be a better way to make that transition.

Unless they implode the east and west stands and raise an entirely new stadium , don't waste the money... Just gold plating a turd. The original 1920s first deck structure was beautiful, but the add ons look like *****

wow, amazing! Where can I donate to the cause!

Wow, that looks like it was a lot of work. Great job. Looks much better than the current stadium.

The walls in the corners containing the arches look artificially tacked on. They have no clear purpose.

Instead, you could

• Increase the height of the corner arches to match the other arches.
  
• Extend the arches all the way to the ground, so it looks like an aqueduct.
  
• Run the concourse over the aqueduct.
  
• Maybe curve the aqueduct instead of using a straight 45-degree angle.

Looks great!

Nice work!

WOWZA! That is magnificent! If money were no object, I'd go for that.

First of all, we dont need a replicated zone in the south endzone, we need more suites because that is where the money is made, also that looks like a 95000 seat stadium, which is right where it should be. Personally, I like everything about it.

edit: capacity said at ~105000+

like alot of it but something about it feels a tad claustrophobic? Not sure how to put my finger on it. Also, the outside corner areas (4) things look weird.

Scoreboard/screen needs to be bigger-looks closed in. And more color around screen. Too generic.

Very cool. I like the walkways connecting the East and West stands to the Zone. Makes the Zone look less out of place than it presently does.

awesome

Lets get the fund started to build this thing.

I'll put 50.00 in to start; next ?

A lot of good things with this plan, keep up the very nice work!

A few questions/comments:

Why not extend the lower bowl to the south as opposed to the raised seating?

I assume this is a total demo/rebuild of the east and west seats? I'm all for that but I wonder if some commenting realize this.

Is the track kept solely for march-in? I'd think we could adapt that tradition, borrow from Army and do a march-on or some other way to showcase the Corps.

If removing the tunnels and having a main concourse works north, east and west, why not south?

I offer the following:

1. Make an overhang that provides shade in the brutal early fall games and redirects sound down onto the field. I will happily donate my time as an engineering grad to help design such a feature.

2. Do NOT make "the wall" as depicted. It looks awful. Run the seats right up to the edge of the field like in the zone.

3. Connect the seating in the corners to provide MORE sound retention.

4. Light the friggin' letters!

Screw uniformity on the connection. Just connect them! Somehow we managed just fine on first deck

Oh, #5!

5. Put in the luxury suites above third deck and make them wrap around completely. I see no reason we can't make the stadium seat 120-140k+

Edit: add

I love it.
