The stadium is great. We should be focusing on the total failure that is Levy concessions.
Agree

Our administration were idiots when it came to the Kyle Field renovation. Should have torn most if not all of it down and built a proper cohesive stadium.
We did pretty dang well. What would you have done within the given parameters? Demolish it all and not have played home games for a couple years?
Either demolish (play in Reliant for two years) or build new Kyle somewhere nearby on campus (if possible)..
If we did we'd be the only team in CFB to have an indoor/outdoor pro style stadium of our own. And would generate a ton more revenue for NIL, etc.
Big picture, it should have happened.
No thanks on some stale nfl style stadium. I hate nfl stadiums

We should have, at a minimum, redid the student side, even if it took another year. I agree it would have been a waste to redo the 12-15 year old Zone, but we'll regret not doing the student side, in my opinion.
They could probably do it anytime, I guess, but we may have to wait again until we win something meaningful.

sure, why not? the new Kyle is great but you can definitely see the new construction vs the zone vs the student section...better than someone turning their 2 car garage into a living room but still clearly an add on once you get inside
Kirk Herbstreit has gone on record in saying that Kyle Field is the nicest venue hes ever been to. Considering how many stadiums he's stepped foot in, its a huge compliment and should tell anyone all they need to know about Kyle

And yet everyone who visits Kyle leaves talking about how incredible it is…
And playing out of town would have put every hotel and restaurant in BCS out of business…
And stadiums don't generate money for nil…
And new construction would have had much lower capacity at a cost of 3 or 4 times as much…
But sure, what your fantasy tells you must be true.

Saw a rendering on a 2.8 billion dollar transformation. That seems like a lot a lot.
I grew up around there, I don't think you can put enough lipstick on the pig that is the Texas panhandle but apparently Tech has money to just literally burn.
I think overpaying recruits suits their purpose better but I'm sure they're going to raise the bar there too. Will be interesting to see how far it goes for them.

The reason we didn't was the Americans with disabilities act, which would have mandated crap that significantly reduced capacity of the student section while significantly increasing the cost.
Yeah, Sunray. Who wants to be around, or even see all those disabled people. They should know their place and stay out of sight!! Do you have any facts/statistics for this slam at people with disabilities?
