not sure if someone posted this already, but I was checking the box office website and they have released the official (?) new DKR seating chart with the completed NEZ.
No, that's last year's with only the partially completed lower deck. Someone a few weeks ago had talked to the Longhorn Foundation and found out it would be mid-summer before the new seating chart would be out.
Looks like the upper deck is completed to me in the jpeg. If that's the numbering, I can only imagine guests from sections 9-13 and 19-24 having serious isues.
I think we should redo where visiting fans and their band sit. Reciprocity is the only fair way so for instance aggy band should be in section 32 with their fans split between 32 and the corners of 101 and 109.
I'd also like for the Longhorn band to be in the NEZ so that the east stands could hear them.
Hmm... I'm not sure if it's cached on my browser or coming out differently on my screen, but the only sections I see for the NEZ are sections 13-19.
The NEZ upperdeck will have sections 110-123. Last year's seating chart only had the rows up to (but not including) the handicapped accessible aisle separating the chairbacks and club seats from the bench seats below like in the diagram below.
Also the lower deck of the NEZ is as tall (has as many rows) as the East and West side lower decks. In the seating chart it's clearly lower.
Someone asked the other day whether they would remove some seats from 124 to continue the upper deck walkway all the way round. Looks like that was not done.
The other thing you can tell by the seating chart is the size of the SEZ bleachers. It looks like it's gone back to the 2006 size of ~4k, instead of the 6k we had last year. That would still put official capacity in the 93k range and I'm thinking gameday attendance around 97k.
The need to do something about there image that makes it look like Section 9 is in the West side upper deck as a subset of Section 109 instead of the end zone lower deck next to Section 10 where it actually is. Maybe a dashed line to outline it sitting under there?
