    I think the proposed look looks good. I doubt it will ever happen and I doubt it is cheap to do so I would rather see some of the other stuff done first.
    I don't know about THAT, but I personally l like exposed structures so I can see how everything went together... but I'm a nerd like that.

    I do think the cost to suspend precast panels underneath would be pretty high for a purely aesthetic improvement. Even just encasing the columns and beams in concrete would be pretty pricey after the fact. Although it would "match" Hilton a little better that way.

    Bottom line- get rid of the south hillsides and aluminum bleachers, and we won't have to worry about the "look" of our stadium.

    i think hanging those large banner or grahics like baylor would be a cheap easy way to add a nice look to the exterior

    Okay so what i don't get is... the second deck.. why not just completely bowl it in and around, gives it a more "finished" look if you will, plus it would add more seating...

    We should just build up the concession stand exterior walls high enough to make an enclosed concourse.

    Maybe they are leaving it open so it's easier to add the third deck on each side when we need to expand to 75,000+ in the next 10 years or so.
