Moody Redo

[RE Tycoon]

Are they waiting until after graduation to start working on Moody?

[austinponie]

Don't know but we need updated pics on progress - looking forward...

They've already chained off the street that runs along Moody and Crum, but last time I was over there they hadn't done anything big yet.
First part of the project is building the club addition.

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

[RE Tycoon]

Has 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.

Ford is just bad. The low rise sideline stands and streetview out the endzone make it feel very small time.

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.

upper deck stadiums look much cooler (i.e. Southern Miss - great layout)

[gostangs]

notre 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

Ring the entire horseshoe with suites...which apparently have a waiting list...Jerry Jones-style

Pretty!

At 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.
