[J.B. TexasEx]

OU will be moving forward with $370M in stadium renovations to Owen Field.  Improvements should be completed by 2016.  The Okie Bowl?

Your move, Steve Patterson.

Well, one good thing about waiting is that now we get to trump what everyone else is doing.

spectacular facility!  superb player vs fan friendly amenities... not to mention a fascinating source of new pride as per the state of oklahoma.  how in the world shall TEXAS top this?​

to date, we cannot even put forth any decent state of the art renderings.  in my personal view, DKR looks tired, outdated, and in need of a major overhaul.​

man, just what in the hell was deloss dodds doing all of the time?  i could easily understand a little work to be done here and there... but TEXAS has major needs everywhere!​

i shall step up to the plate and SALUTE oklahoma...  well done sooners.​

I get that you didn't like DeLoss, but DKR has undergone a number of impressive renovations while he was in charge of UT athletics.  For example, capacity grew from 78k to 100k under his watch.

i understand all of this jb.  but what on earth can UT do to top ou's brilliant new stadium?  like i stated before my pal, "i could understand a few upgrades here and there" but we seem to need upgrades upon a number of items everywhere.  how could the powers that be, allow for this scenario to play out upon a such a morbid fashion?

Didn't we have a new indoor practice facility to replace The Bubble on the drawing board? It was my understanding that Strong nixed it stating, "Our facilities are good enough".  Does anybody know the status of this project, among others?

We need to have the best facilities money can buy...since we have all the money.....

props jb as per the added renderings.  ou's new stadium, must have been upon the planning stages for years...  that place is a masterpiece.  not to mention GINORMOUS! their new jumbotron, shall put godzillatron to shame.  what recruit could say no to that new weight facility?  just looking at all of those new renderings... it looks as though no stone, was left unturned.  even the roofs of some of those buildings had fan amenities / appeal.  baylor, aTm, oklahoma, just what the hell is TEXAS going to do?
