You guys might have to help a rook out.

I remember seeing a thread on baylorfans a few weeks ago about some quidditch field ideas they were bouncing around.

Anyway, here are some ideas for the potential renovation of Kyle from an Aggie Engineer.

This is a culmination of rumors, popular ideas, and my own touch.

- Main concourse wraps around the entire stadium at an elevation of the top of first deck. No more stairs on the East side and no more ramps and tunnels on the West side

- Suites added on the East, West, and South side

- South end zone closed in with field level club and tunnel

- East and West grandstands expanded and matched in style and stature to the Richardson zone so that it finally doesn't stick out so much

- Added elevated walkways to connect the North, East, and West side upper-decks

- New facade on all sides (brought the arches back from the 20's)

- SEC logos on the field

- New capacity estimated 107,221

- Still looks like the tackle box we all adore

Any thoughts?

The bats have gotta go.

And before anyone asks, no, there is no bear habitat...

No ramps between the east/west sides and the Zone. Keep students and low lifes out of the Zone!

First off I am leaving this open to suggestions but for now I am considering the spaces to each side for a new sound reinforcement system worthy of Kyle

I think when it is said and done it will follow the look and feel of Blue Bell Park which is fine by me.

Drop the field, lose the track and add a dozen rows of seating at the bottom and you've got a winner.

love it

almost there

but..need to 'retouch' it up a bit...make it look modern or futuristic....or make it look 'old school....right now it has the 1985 industrial look...Detroit is long gone my friend

also...add a jumbotron on walkways from east and west decks...the empty space right there needs a purpose

BTW Thanks for re-posting my photos Mugsy

I am not quite finished but I appreciate the input. I plan on finalizing this and sending some hi-res renders to the athletic department and perhaps some hear as well.

I will see if I can accommodate the corner screens even though there is not alot of space due to the expansion of the upper-decks as seen in this unposted image of the East side

I am currently working on stadium lighting and entrance plazas in all four corners. I am looking for ways to give it a modern edge. However I am trying to not turn the design into another Jerry World. Keeping Kyle Field unique is important IMO. The closest visual cue that I can see in this design is Ben Hill Griffin but that's a damn good house.

This is seriously by far the best suggestion I've seen. I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. Excellent job!

Kceo that is great...

i was just going to mention that stadium as reference as well as Lambeau Field

agree that this need not be another Jerry world

We have to close the gaps between the zone and the E and W stands.

The gaps let the sound out, instead of focusing it out onto the field.

Loudest stadium I've ever been in was the old Mile Hi in Denver. 5 decks from the ground to the top in the N end zone. When you had an opponent at the N end of the field, the sound was painful.

We have more people yelling louder at Kyle Field. It's just the acoustics of the situation.

Looks really nice.... the one suggestion I would have is remove the concourses connecting the zone to the east and west stands.... just keep the concourse around the first deck.

Also would make the screen larger (in the current rendering have it be as large as the current screen+surrounding structure). Or go the other way and create a wider screen that is not as tall but spans more of the open area (arkansas, oklahoma, ravens in the nfl).

this one really has legs. thanks for the effort.

we just need one or two signature visuals to brand our stadium from the outside...inside i think we already have our brand with our student deck and the '12th man'...(see Steve Spurrier's interview from another thread...he knows nothing about A&M except the 12th man because 'it says so on the wall'.....it we find another one inside, well bring it

now on the outside we need one or two 'branding qualities....think Yankee Stadium and the arches...Soldier Field and the columns.

here's a look inside Lambeau..for ideas of entrance plazas

I'd rather see a mirror image of the Zone on the South end and the video screens in the corners...
