Snitches get stitches.
This has prolly been discussed, but I don't want to comb through all these pages. What are they adding on to the rec?

Rec expansion. Doubling weight room, new cafe, additional indoor courts, new swimming facilities, new event rooms. Paid for without raising fees.
Nice. Appreciate the photos.

First this is not a *****ing post about asymmetry...it is kind of an endearing quality about new new Kyle...that being said...the NW corner seating...second deck...ending in a triangular section. Very odd. Almost every corner of the new old lady has something funky about it. My architect brother keeps saying he'd love to talk to the architect behind this project as he finds many parts of the project different, puzzling but unique!

quote:They obviously took the tact of building the west side in whatever way maximized revenue, regardless of how it would mesh up with the North/South ends. I don't fault them for it, but I agree, it makes for a bit of a frankenstadium. No matter what, it will look amazing when finished and full of Ags.

The west side decks are lower and closer to the field than they would be if they had been built to match up.
New Kyle Field is all about function and a result of circumstance with some architecture glued to it to disguise the mess.
quote:I don't think he was questioning why it didn't match up, but rather why they chose to end that section in an odd triangular point in the NW corner. It does seem a bit confusing. All four corners have their own personality. I say embrace it. At least it isn't cookie cutter.

That said, I wish the funding and/or planning was there to make the SEZ facade match the rest. Again, not a big deal. The place is going to be awesome!

Exactly!

Didn't they have it on the field at the end of last season?
Compared to what we had before this stadium is not overhyped. New Kyle is 1,000 times better than old Kyle

it will do, but it ain't the "end all, be all" of football stadiums. Way overhyped.
What a remarkably uninformed and stupid thing to say!
quote:After moving various cannons from outside the SE corner to the practice field to the top of SE tower, they finally put the original (Spirit of '02) in the SW corner tunnel. Seemed to work well there, but also seemed to be sort of "temporary".quote:

It still seems ridiculous to me that the cannon location wasn't planned/designed for from the beginning, despite questions and discussion about it from the beginning.
Until you see a person of authority stand in front of a camera and promise that it will be included inside the stadium, it should remain an ongoing point of concern for PMC and anyone that cares about keeping the tradition.
The situation was fixed last year but that shouldn't be taken as indicating permanence.
It's already been suggested that there's been renewed efforts to have it removed from inside the stadium, and I don't know by who so I may well be perpetuating a rumor with no basis. All the same, I think the above still holds true.

Putting the cannon anywhere in the stadium would mean giving up capacity of some sort. And based upon what I've been reading here...
quote:How do you figure? It has always (save for the first game or two last year) been inside the stadium with no impact to capacity.

quote:I guess my point of view is from 20 years ago when there was a track running around field and an open south end. I would assume they would want some separation between the cannon and the crowd for smoke/noise. No extra space at all with the new layout. Allows fans to be close to the action, but makes me wonder where they would fit the cannon. However, it sounds as if it worked last year putting the cannon towards one of the tunnels.

It was actually In the SW tunnel, but fired towards the NE - over the field.
Hoist cannon onto the Kyle Field sign crowning the video board and light it up. Bask in the biggest, baddest and ballsiest TD spectacle in CFB.

I don't particularly care if it never comes back.
I was in town yesterday, if you haven't been there since last season, let me tell you, it's VERY IMPRESSIVE...driving by the west side on the road, new addition is big! And got to see the zone, it's beautiful, there is also a "smoking" deck in the middle or a patio whatever you wanna call it looks super classy
