Don't apologize...great job. Yeah, the pics could be better-I agree- but we can see how it's looking.

All those years I took it for granted when living there. I'm glad to see any pics of the development.

Thank you. :hi:

Tennessee Fund

Renovations to Neyland Stadium will take place in a separately funded, phased approach, to ensure fiscal responsibility:
Phases IV and V -- Contingent on future funding

Phase III -- Scheduled for completion August 2010

Phase II -- Completed August 2008

Phase I -- Completed August 2006

The Neyland Stadium Master Plan renovations must be entirely funded by private leadership donations and annual revenue generated by priority seats, East and West Club, and Tennessee Terrace seat contributions. No university funds or taxpayer subsidies are planned to be used in financing the projected $200 million in renovations.

The more I see of the new brick work, the more I hate that metallic terrace. Seems like completely contrasting architecture styles.

i wish that they would match the color of the panels. personally i prefer the silver ones rather than the off creme colored ones.

I agree. Though I think the next phase will help bring it all together a little better.

If you haven't already seen what it will look like, check out this rendering of the South Side.

I agree with this, too. Hopefully they'll do that when they paint the rest of the stadium next year. I was also a bit surprised to see tan seats go into the Tennessee Terrace. I think I understand why they chose that color, but I probably would have gone with black, orange or maybe some other color.

I suspect that the plans for the South end will change somewhat from the master plan since the Gate 21 and West side are both different from the original.

i wouldn't be surprised to see something similar to the Gate 21 design used at Gate 10 and some variation of the same at the SE corner to provide some symmetry.

Also, with the completion of the Kao Building and construction of the Tickle Building on Neyland Drive, some of the engineering depts. will be moving into new facilities. Doesn't sound like the Estabrook and Berry Halls will be renovated. I could see those being demolished and the East side of the stadium upgraded with a look similar to the West with the addition of a courtyard.

Holy cow, I never really considered that. That could look really good. But we are talking 10-20+ years down the road.

More than likely. That site is very outdated. Everything on there is from 2004, I believe.

I guess the timing will all come down to funding. The last I read, UT would be taking a break from additional stadium renovations until at least the end of the 2011 season. IIRC, reasons cited were the economy, need to revisit the plans and allowing time to catch up on some of the committed contributions.

I believe the funding is in place for the Tickle Building, and it sounds like it should be completed over the next couple of years. This has been referred to as a new gateway onto campus. If Estabrook becomes a shell and the administration wants to improve the appearance of that section of campus, it may speed the process. But, I expect it will all be dependent on dollars available.

Maybe since the Campaign for Tennessee has surpassed its goal ahead of schedule, UT will allot the "surplus" to the stadium.:)

I know people have been wondering about the statue of Gen. Neyland and what it will look like. Been meaning to post this for a while Last year before the Memphis game I got to take a tour of the stadium. There was a about to be a meeting to discuss the statue o. A player from the '58 team had two folders of pictures of spread out on a table. In these pics he had an example of what the statue would more than likely look like. Very cool collection of pics. Here are a few I managed to get a shot of. The last one is of the example of the statue.

Why does only one side of the endzone have a small roof?

That's the way the stadium has been since the early 80s expansion. It was done when that section was only one level and lept as a matter of tradition when the upper deck was added.
