First part of the project is building the club addition.

At least SMU has their priorities in order on the renovation project!

Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:22 pmHas anyone seen updated plans or renderings? It was my understanding the renderings released before were done a while back and were more conceptual in nature. They weren't that impressive considering what's being done today.
I love Ford, but it was completed just as stadium design was fundamentally shifting, and now the old gal looks older than her 12 years. I want Moody 2.0 to be at the leading edge of design and amenities so it stays relevant longer.

Gotcha.
FWIW, I semi-disagree about Ford. It's a beautiful stadium that UAB's proposed (but now killed) stadium would have been based on. However, the lack of height of the stadium does make it feel smalltime.

Re: Moody Redo
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:10 pmnotre dame seems to get by without an upper deck.
i like it without an upper deck (nobody wants to sit up there lets face it) fill in the end zone some day and call it a day. it it sells out - fine

Re: Moody Redo
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:39 pmAt Ford, build two levels of suites with moveable windowns on the East side, while adding open-seating only on the south end, enclosing the horseshoe. That would give us 45+K for bigger games. Think big, Embrace the East and schedule A&M, ND, AFA and another BigXII team, such as Baylor.
