Will they have the outdoor seats installed in the NEZ by TCU or will the appearance be as it is now? Inquiring minds want to know.

No, they won't, and no it won't appear as now.

I want DWRRS to get the same type of reputation as the Swamp or Tiger Stadium.

A gigantic red tarp with a huge Razorback covering the NEZ would look awesome.

Well, I heard they were "covering it up" during games, I'm not sure what that's to entail.

Fake news!

Seriously, if every game was like the OM game last year, I'd probably stroke out.  Sometimes it's fun to just go to the game, relax, eat some popcorn, and watch the Hogs thumps SE Tech.

I don't know where our fans get the impression that every single seat at every single game is filled with a screaming fan at every single other SEC stadium but ours.  The inferiority complex is exhausting.

Interesting thread.  What I think it proves is that we can get very loud in DWRRS, when we WANT to.   

What we need to learn is how to be this loud for EVERY game, and not just the big name schools or high profile games. I want DWRRS to be just as lit up against a school like New Mexico State as it will be for Auburn this season.  Instead will probably have 60-65k attend with most leaving by the 4th quarter.

I want DWRRS to get the same type of reputation as the Swamp or Tiger Stadium.  I'd love for fans on the other side of the country to turn our game on and see a lit up crowd when we are playing a lower tier opponent and we are up by 21 points., and for that person to put DWRRS on their bucket list of stadiums to visit because of it.

One of my bucket list stadiums is Doak Campbell Stadium at FSU.  It just looks like a fun time every time they start doing the war chant.  I want fans of other schools to have the same reaction when they turn our game on and see the crowd.

That's true at EVERY stadium. None of them are super loud all the time for every opponent.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

So cool. Can't wait for the double red Fridays.

And agreed DLUXHOG, easily top tier now.

Also FYI the ole miss photo is old, but they haven't improved it that much. Still a lightly better WMS with top notch tailgating. Tenner looks like that is before they finished their upper bowl as well.

Glancing at those other SEC venues it appears we have a huge amount of premium seating compared to most

Well, the drone flyover is from a week or more ago. In the video it again confirms that both screens are the same size 167'x38' and that the north one is curved match the structure.

It's starting to look good.

I'll hold off on one of the top in sec until it's complete. We have a ways to go to get up there with Kyle field, Death Valley, the swamp, bama, AU, rocky top, and UGA. Even South Carolina has a great looking stadium.

With that said.

Ole miss sure does come across as a sad little stadium.

Razorback Stadium pic above is out of focus and doesnt do justice. That being said, new renovation will be nice and definitely needed. Keeping up with the Sec's Joneses is crucial.

Any idea what they plan to do on game days this year with NE? Hopefully won't look like a work zone but not sure what they can really do....

Don't have recording or link, but I thought I heard Long in an interview say that they have a plan to "utilize" the space. I'm sure that means marketing/ promoting the brand in some way. He said it will be obvious it is under construction, but they will do what they can to reduce the "eyesoreness" and ensure safety of players and fans.

This should help improve the stadium for some:

QuoteThe university has signed a 10-year, $137 million multimedia rights deal with IMG College, as reported by Michael Smith of Sports Business Daily.

The agreement is expected to be one of the most lucrative in college athletics and lasts through 2028.

What fans will notice is that as part of the new contract, IMG College is making a "significant investment" in free wifi service at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Bud Walton Arena and Baum Stadium where the Razorbacks' baseball team plays.

They have not and I'm not sure if it's possible due to safety and the ability to turn off and on the lights quickly.

They could possibly turn the screen(s) red with the lights on but the effect wouldn't be the same.

first time I had ever seen this, was last year and I was coming down the hill on I-49, probably three miles or further out, and I saw the red glow and asked my wife what we were looking at....   it was really an amazing site......

I really hope they put a Razorback on the backside of both screens.

Sure hope so, I have seen a hog on the NEZ rendering but not sure I've seen any renderings on other side of the SEZ big screen. Someone start a petition if not!

Also not sure if it lights up or not on NEZ

I wonder if they will have a tarp covering the lower stand section during the season, and If so could/would they put something "Razorback" on it like below? I think that would look awesome..!

Hopefully we will be winning so much there will never be a need to cover up sections like that.

Are our stadium lights LEDs yet? If they were, turning them off at halftime for nice light shows wouldn't be an issue due to nearly instant on/off. SAU has them and they light up their field nicely.
