Geez. $450 mil. And for the Aggies. What a waste. Kinda like kicking Mack Brown while he is down. Wonder if the new Baylor tarp will be two-sided for them to borrow. How many mason jars can you get for $450 mil? Buy some new yell leader uniforms. Home of the 12th man (their state legislator).

Dayton via Austin
To put that in perspective, Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans, cost $352 mil ($455 mil in today's dollars).

How long before Texas ups theirs? Besides I'm not surprised it's costing them that much. A significant amount has to be going into making that place sanitary, up to code, and structurally sound

I would imagine anytime. (waiting on funds) And with A&M now renovating their's and making it the largest stadium in Texas, it might light a fire under some Texas Booster's ***.
I know they had plans to renovate their south endzone at some point, bringing their total capacity to over 120,000.

Yeah, I heard similar. Texas already has had plans to expand, they are just waiting for the right time.

I saw on Bleacher Report that the plan is to demolish the entire west stadium; the third deck on that side and the press box may be only about 15 years old. They'll get most of the seats with the expanded south end-zone.

Plus an upgrade to the scoreboard at the General Dog Cemetery ain't cheap

I'm not even joking, they have a scoreboard set up at the place where they bury deceased mascots so they can see the score of the game

Why does Kyle Field need to be renovated?
Because Texas A&M deserves the finest collegiate facilities and the goal is to build the greatest venue in the history of college football. Millions of people see Texas A&M University through football Saturdays in the fall and this facility will make a statement that the Aggies do not settle, we commit to excellence in everything we do. A redeveloped Kyle Field will amplify and honor our past and our traditions while expanding the intimidation factor.

Nobody is as full of themselves as Texas A&Mason Jar U.

Funny how TAM can't even keep the focus in this thread without conversations starting about Texas.

I hear part of the $450 million is going to go to a statue of their first ever black player they had 20 years ago.
