TDECU Stadium Upcoming Renovations - Premium Seating Buildout

Yep, those were the Feb 2023 renderings, which I thought just looked better in comparison
to the latest ones. All in the eye of the beholder.

But yeah, looking at SMU renderings it looks really good, fits in nicely , and well integrated into stadium imho. Ours looks more piecemeal, add on thing.

Sat in those seats once upon a time. I learned more about football viewing from there than I did in the previous 25 years of watching football from the sidelines. Also, back during or there abouts of Phi Slama Jama, I sat in similar seats in the Hof. Learned a lot about fast break basketball from there, too.

Hey! I recognize that section!

That was my experiment getting out of the sun 2 years ago. In the end I moved back to the north side. Great view but too high up, too many stairs and too far away from bathrooms and concessions! I guess I’d rather sweat like a pig but be closer to the field! :smile:

Thanks for re-joining us North siders . . . . . only the toughest fans sit on the North side, or maybe the dumbest . . . . .

Tried the north side during Covid season and just wasn’t worth giving up what I have on the South.

I just wanna get out the sun. Will the new club seats be covered?

Do we have everything we need now? Oh, forgot. Need to bankroll players at 1 million each. THEN we will be a winner!

The sun sets behind the scoreboard so the new seats would be ‘covered’ in that they will be in shade for most of the day. For those on the lower south, the expanded video board may help provide more shading earlier in the day.

I would have liked the ops building to be built taller and above the 2nd tier of seats on the East side. The lower south would have gotten shade much, much earlier in the day. But overall, given our stadium size and demand, it’s not a bad move.

I am curious if there is a lot of demand for club and premium seats in the end zone.

end zone is underrated

I like my sidelines seats (South Side), but agree it is fun to watch the game from the end zone view. A whole different perspective of the game.

But it might also shade the visiting team’s sideline. Let em roast!

It’s OK as it like playing Madden. But only when the action is on your side, it’s hard to see the action at the other end of the field.

I have never been uncomfortable in the men’s rooms on the north side; it doesn’t seem to be a pressing issue to me. It may be because it’s a relief from the overbearing heat in the stands.

Yeah, compared to how it feels sitting in that lower bowl on the north side during a hot day game, almost anything is more comfortable.

Is that downtown notch view some sacred cow?

Not to me, I can see the Houston skyline anytime I want. It’s just something for some complainers to complain about. Times change, priorities change; we need to be adaptable.

In the negotiation phase, the notch was offered in exchange for the formerly-sacred palm trees.

Well as nice as a view of downtown might be, I don’t think that we HAVE to have it.

If I had to choose between having that
and having a stadium that makes us competitive for recruits in the Big 12 and the rest of the P5
then it’s a no brainer.

The downtown view has to go!

Yeah there’s nothing special about the downtown view

Downtown is dead as night after 7PM anyway
