      That one is as wide as four or five sections. BYU's sits over one section. I would guess about 1/4 the surface area.

        I'm disappointed, as well. Lame. They should have waited another season or two and saved money to do it right.

          Yeah, with as small as the stands are on that end I thought it might be smaller. I looked up BYU's. They will be 51x36. I don't care if they are as big as Texas so I don't mind. All I care about is that they are a huge upgrade from what was there before.

            It would be big, big money to put a godzillatron up that high in the endzone. Earthquake loading along the Wasatch puts huge lateral load demand on the foundations that Austin doesn't have to deal with.

              It doesn't have to be that big. Check out what SC did. I think that makes more sense given the overall height of the end zone stands, as you stated. A godzillatron would look kind of weird sitting atop such high end zones. SCs jumbo tron looks great for our stadium layout.

              These are an upgrade but not really. I drove by and saw them today. This could have been done much better.

                  Yep. If they are going to upgrade, they should spend a little $$$ and really upgrade. This is like going from a '98 Corolla to a '04 Miata.

                      it is fairly visible and a more practical shape for a stadium of that size, particularly given how high up the end zone seats go. Godzillatron works for Texas because the endzone seating in that stadium is a joke. BYU missed the boat badly on this one.

                        On the plus side, it has the highest upper deck of any stadium!

                              BYU inside LBs coach Paul Tidwell said Zac Stout (mike) will be the 3rd ILB inserted into games, Manoa Pikula (buck) the fourth.


                              Hadn't heard much about Stout lately. Glad to see he's in the mix.
                              So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

                                Is he a soph or a junior?
