Looks like the west upper deck is being redone as well as the south endzone.

No tuition funds go towards the renovation.Originally Posted by cvsooner
I understand. I just note how that semi-sort-of-I'm-sure-it's-a-coincidence how the price increase got in there.
This is all an elaborate hoax. Our resident architects told us there was no way to fill the corners in.
Seriously, this is great but I'm most excited about filling in the corners (even if not many seats) so that we can keep some of that noise in the stadium.
There was no way to properly fill the corners in with that concrete monstrosity down there. Nice to see that eyesore is going to be removed.

Therefore, the athletes got a 4.8 percent raise, as their tuition is part of their athletic scholarships.
Take THAT, Ed O'Bannon
Unfortunately, since the State of Oklahoma continues to reduce the amount of funding for ALL education every year, the tuition has gone up most every year. This is also one of the lower increases in the last 7 or 8 years. The reason they are all announced together is because regents approved these at the same time in meetings this week.
When, exactly, was it said "there was no way to fill in the corners"? I know some of us questioned it, as the south end isn't level with the remainder of the stadium.
I too am excited about that aspect, but it looks like there is going to be a major overhaul of the south end.
Don't know exactly when it was ever said but there have been comments aplenty on how the south end would never be bowled in over past several years. Several people have quoted JC as saying it would never happen. People have speculated it would be similar to Nebraska and Ohio State. I am very excited about the announcement today.
I know, I was giving JK a hard time.
I have never heard Castiglione say it, but I have read a lot of comments about it, and just from looking at the stadium (in it's current form), it's easy to see that it would take a major project to bowl it in...fortunately, that's what we're getting.
I figured I'd be impressed with the upgrades, but I was blown away. It's certainly exciting!

Is it too early to say what season this will be ready?
"I'm going to request that you stop posting in this thread." - circa 2008
"Why does there have to be so much immature stuff on here?" - circa 2010
It should be ready by the start of the 2016 season.
It still don't hold no candle to Poketopia.
colleyvillesooner put the video of the expansion, or go to: http://gfoms.com/ and see it for yourself. Please note the size of the jumbo tron, and the entrance to the south endzone. They designed it so if future expansions are needed, it can be done more easily. Truly AWESOME! It certainly surpasses Jerry's World!
This goes beyond anything I was imagining! I just hope they spruce up all the older/original (interior) parts of the stadium.

I don't know about you guys but I always liked the gravel and old timey stuff underneath the east side. I'm glad I got tp experience that.
LOL! "Pneumonia Downs"!
No kidding! There was a huge cloud of dust hanging in the air all the time.
