I really like it and God knows we need it. Every Cyclone that has been to a game @ Baylor knows how crappy our stadium is right now.
Rumor has it that Drayton McLane Jr (just sold the Houston Astros) is going to pay for a lot of it.How is Baylor planning to pay for it?
Probably the same way we are paying for our new football facility, sports complex, and video board with expected TV revenue. Plus, Baylor is a private school...they have plenty of money. Congrats to you guys on the new stadium! Hopefully we build our south endzone addition in the next couple of years too. :yes:How is Baylor planning to pay for it?
Looks like there is some on the left. Doesn't look like nearly enough though.Where do you park?
45-50K...our current stadium seat 45K right now.How many seats is it projected to have? Seems like an aweful big stadium. If Baylor keeps playing seasons like this year maybe they could sell it out, otherwise seems like there could be an aweful lot of empty seats.
The ring thing above the stadium is interesting. I wonder if any other stadiums do that. Is it just for shade?
What you can't see is where the camera is located is a brand new football practice facility with a new weightroom.Wonder what kind of fancy locker rooms and/or weight room facility there will be. I wonder if they'll put 500 TVs all over it like Okla St supposedly did or the Nebraska BB facility did.

New TV $$$ will do all of us "smalls" a world of good.Supposed to be around $200 million I read somewhere. Its going to be hard keeping up with anyone at this pace.

Looks almost like a baseball stadium from that view.
The stairs over the water up to the walkway across the river look interesting.
Good luck Baylor, looks nice!
Private donations is what they are saying. They are saying $250M will be the pricetag and that McLane will give at least $100M (some say as high as $200M).I'm not so sure that TV money is going to make a bulk of those payments though, have they said how it would be funded? Is there a lot of private donations or other sort of money coming in, advertisement, naming rights?
