A&M to expand Kyle Field to 115,000....largest field in the nation

Future south end zone expansion
The final planned phase of the stadium's expansion includes the construction of permanent seating and an upper deck in the south end zone, completely enclosing the playing field. The stadium's seating capacity is expected to be between 115,000 and 120,000 once the south end zone is fully enclosed, which would mean DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium would supplant The University of Michigan's Michigan Stadium as the largest football stadium in North America.[11] However, the date of the final construction phase to fully enclose the south end zone has not been set nor have any funds been raised.

This inspired my curiosity about JTS, simply from numbers standpoint —*although it would never happen and might not even be physically possible, how many people would Jack Trice hold if it were entirely bowled, with both decks? (it's OK to subtract Jacobsen area).
I pose the question to engineers/architects/math-extrapolators who are smarter than I am about such things. (i.e., pretty much everyone)

In an effort to one up Mizzou & Texas A&M's "traditions" Alabama has announced they will be adding a few live elephant mascots to their program. This will include an all new halftime show featuring the elephants.... ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

New Kyle Field endzone
Nebraska's endzone
I fully understand that our new WVU rivalry will be the blue print rivalry, but cmon A&M, did you steal Nebraska's end zone blue prints?

Well, Bill Byrne was the AD at Nebby during the post-Osborn era.
(The proposed endzone @ A&M is at the top of the picture)
Correct the Nebby endzone w/ Video Board = A&M's current endzone seating w/o video boards (using those pictures).
They did for one year as a baseball player but his scholly wasn't renewed...off he went to Okie A&M (State now) and the rest is history. :biglaugh: @ TAMU
They actually have quite a few people that are willing to throw money at them, instead of one super rich T. Boone. However, convincing a large number of less rich people to donate is harder than having one super fan. aTm has underachieved for years which probably isn't helping their donor base open their wallets.
Doesn't A&M have someone lined up to give $100mil now that they are moving to the SEC? Thought I remember that rumor being presented in the thread that won't die.
I recall something similar. Let me go read back through that and see what I can find...
Have you seen their conference record in the Big XII this year? They are running from being DOMINATED! :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:
