Great pics! Would love to see a photo of the model taken from the south end perspective.
How'd you get some of these shots? For example looking out of the tunnel? Is it open to the public?
The really high ones are out of the window of the bar on the top floor of rudder. The tunnel is on the northwest corner by burkhardt auditorium. There is a locked gate there but the gap is wide enough to fit a phone through to take a picture without seeing the gate in the photo.

I'm assuming you are talking about the concourse behind the stands. I think the higher concourse will be the concourse for the little armpits between the East side and the zones. At least that's what it looks like from the renderings.
Here is the other end of the model. Sorry about the glare. The model is in a plastic case.

ibt texags architecture meltdown
where is that model at?
Thanks spieg12!! Looks like the south zone isn't getting much of a facade, but it still looks great. Can't wait.
glass case or gtfo
Well you have to remember that the south end zone will back up to Bright, which can still expand to add a wing to the west.
The new nutrition center will hide a lot of the stadium, as well. What's interesting is that most of the renderings and plans I've seen call for a brick facade to disguise the steel work on the south end, I would have thought that would translate to the model...

I think they didn't do the façade for the south side because some of it will be hidden by Bright, and they just didn't want the model to look funny right there. Just a guess though. Not sure why they wouldn't have just façaded the whole thing.
anyone know why the cams arent working
So the West side will have 4 decks!?
Looks like the ramps go to the tower roofs. They could put additional bleachers up there on the corners.
The Bright building & scaffolding helps hide the asymmetry of the south towers.

Model is on first floor of rudder near the visitors center
Why do I get the feeling the stadium next season is going to be a trainwreck?
quote:No. The 3rd deck seating is split. The first 20 rows are armchair seats, and the remainder is lolpoor bleacher seating. This also maintains continuity of the color scheme around the entire west and north horseshoe.

Man it looks like yall have a looooong way to go if your going to be playing there in September.
This new stadium is going to be incredibowl!
I hope they use that darker brick color in the final design.
The computer renderings show beige "shopping center" bricks.

I would expect the same color as Olsen
For those that missed it, from the AggieTickets twitter feed:
My NEZ bench seats sure look like armchairs in the model. Wish that was true.
It seems like overall they've done a decent job of meshing where the new construction will meet the existing structure. But that NW corner where the West stands meets the Zone looks like a bit of a mess.
Really more so the entire east side, but I think that's just the way it was built in and I doubt they wanted to spend more money completely redoing it like they are doing the west. Also this way it looks like more seating, which of course means more cash money
It looks like the way those lower two levels mesh in the NW corner of that model is different than what's in the rendering:
