University of Texas DKR Football Stadium Expansion and Renovation

[Syndic]

Wow, that looks so slapdash.

Looks like DKR might be getting a new video display.

^^^ it is, and the REAR EXTERIOR segment of this video board display compartment shall now include full burnt orange wall panels and a really cool BACK LIT LONGHORN SILHOUETTE. if all goes as planned, this new REAR EXTERIOR segment upgrade should be seen from miles away. HOOK'EM!

Cool, I guess. Wasn’t the other video board one of the largest in the world and just completed a few years ago?

I believe it was upgraded/refreshed when the south end zone changes were completed. No idea if it's the largest in the world, etc., but it's certainly big enough in terms of what size works in the stadium.

I’m pretty sure the video board didn’t change out for the south end zone. They just reassembled it in a wider aspect ratio.

Actually, I'm pretty sure UT installed a new scoreboard for the SEZ redevelopment.

^^^ you are hereby correct my good pal. the previous addition... "GODZILLATRON" (was the largest in the world initially) was waaaaay past its bedtime, and stadium officials were incurring many trials and tribulations in finding parts to keep it viable season after season. however, the last and very latest video board addition (last season) was constructed all wrong from the very start. it was a huge mess and was harboring many issues with the control center. therefore, they had to purchase an all-new video board which is what is going in now. we shall see... HOOK'EM!

^^^ my good pal, these drone shots are absolutely gorgeous, and very much appreciated on this ongoing and badly needed project. THANK U so much. HOOK'EM!

[gillynova]

Yes, keep the drone shots COMING

[Monarch]

^^^ @riverranchdrone may we ^^^ acquire another one of those SPECTACULAR drone shots of the current (back and front) video board work being done at DKR? your generosity on this would be MOST appreciated my pal. THANK U in advance. HOOK'EM!

I can sure try. I hear that UT police are very strict about drones. My drone has a short range of a max of 1000ft. If I take off from the LBJ library, I should be able to get a shot.
