DKR Construction

The first evidence of a building going up is now visible:

 

[BevoJoe]

Cool!

 

[ShAArk92]

I hope they put the band back in the S End Zone so the entire stadium can hear 'em without speaker repeaters.

 

[WorsterMan]

when is the construction supposed to be complete?

. I hate those speakers. Really surprised how hard it is to hear the band with their current seating. We are aross the way in Sec 13 and can't hear them at all. But then when they were in the NEZ, we couldn't hear them at all either. Maybe my hearing is getting bad in my old age or the band just isn't as loud as good back in my days. HA!

@LHABSOB

we're in 104 ... almost opposite the LHB's current placement ... but then we get the repeater at least as loud on about a second/half delay (it's a long way across and up in there! ) ... the the GodzillaTron isn't rattling teeth with Hip Hop, that is.

I'm not sure why the Alumni Band was placed in the NE bleed section ... especially when there were two VERY vacant section(s) on the east side lower level.

It looks like the two empty sections on the lower east side were general admission student sections and the NEZ upper deck were the unused visitors seats section.

I believe I heard before the 2021 season

 

[nashhorn]

In NEZ I could hear the alumni band great but, as I’ve complained before, not so well the LHB. The Jumbotron sux.

When defense can hold offense under 500, is what I heard.

Ole, go to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium South End Zone construction webcam for the webcam picture. If you click on the Menu in the upper left corner you can select live video or a couple of time-lapse streams.

 

[ViperHorn]

The Jumbotron has met its match - dismantling his started.

Unfortunately, a bigger one will make an appearance before long.

 

[SabreHorn]

Viper,

Please find out where the on/off switch is located.

the LHB used to be between the 20-40 on the East side, North....from there, everyone could hear them....in the END ZONE, they are too far away...imo

 

[SabreHorn]

Seattle,

Can’t have the LHB and cheerleaders interfering with the Jumbotron or Bob Cole’s audition for rasslin

 

[ShAArk92]

yes but that was before the north horseshoe ... when the north end was open and the field had the track ... and it’s elevation was a dozen feet higher.

 

[nashhorn]

I just remember I could hear them from seats in NEZ when in the SEZ and cannot hear them now. Stinks.

Why are they not at field level at the 40 like in the old days?

Oh, of course! Increased Revenue.

That is really a love-hate proposition.

Yeah really. What do they think this is, a college football game?

GET THAT IDIOT OFF THE GOALPOST!!!!!

 

[TEXnSEATTLE]

That and Hondo's mother

Wasn't Hondo Crouch to meet his Mom at the Broken Spoke???

 

[SabreHorn]

Yes, Sir

For those unfamiliar with Hondo, he was a fixture, part owner of Camp Longhorn, and man who purchased Luckenbach. He also coined the phrase, "Everyone is someone in Luckenbach". That's because if you visited there when he was there, Hondo would give you an OFFICIAL Luckenbach Title that no one else could have.

As a student we would be on the east stand and the only reason I knew the band was playing was because people were clapping during the fight song or doing the hookem during the trumpet parts. Otherwise you couldnt hear the band for shite.
