Looking awesome!!!!! Cannot wait to get there in person.

 

[FWHORN]

Very nice. Coming back to Texas in September for the Arkansas game, cant wait to see the new stadium in person.

I like how I can actually enjoy seeing the external shots now!

Thanks for the update!

 

[orangeut]

Thanks...Looks great.

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

Thanks for the pics.

I really hope they put ribbon boards around the entire NEZ.

Shweeeet! But what is that gap over on the West side?

In the second pic, those fans arriving to their seats early are taking it a bit too far.

Thanks for the pics and sweat! I know it must've been hot out there today.

It's interesting seeing the top of the NW turret pop above the concourse in the gap. DKR is getting more and more unique as we get closer. Not a bad thing at all.

i suspect the brickwork on the outside will be mostly done in another 4 weeks...!

From the bottom of my orange blooded heart, Thank You!

I feel better now

 

[Goothrey]

What is this platform on top of the NEZ upperdeck?

 

[FunnyUserName]

Great update. This totally makes my day. As I perused the photos, my thought was, "I have to get tickets for Arkansas."

I notice that there is some kind of concrete platform at the top, center of the NEZ. What is this for? A scoreboard? Or better yet, a giant, glowing longhorn logo to replace the one that was auctioned off a couple of years ago?

Please tell me it's not for TV cameras.

Great update!!!!!

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Very nice.

I too wish they would put one of those longhorns up there.

 

[drborange]

NatChampUT to the rescue! Just when I had given up hope of seeing a update thread, there it was!

Good pics and thanks for the effort!

Is the green along the bottom of the glass a reflection of the glass or something to be removed later?

For games not televised, probably not many, make the camera stand special seating with a sofa or recliners for some contest winners. OK, sofa too hard to get there, at least lawn chairs.

They should either place a Bevo Statue up there and call him Touchdown Bevo... or just keep the real Bevo up there during the games so he can watch over his brothers on the field.

 

[LonghornLawyer]

I think the cameras to be placed there will allow them to take down the fireworks stand on top of Adzillatron. At least it is my vague recollection that the fireworks stand was only temporary pending completion of the NEZ.

The platform at the top of the NEZ is a sacrifice alter.
