AUSTIN - The cranes tower over the campus skyline, and the north end zone for Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium looks, well, like a construction zone.
The stadium even got smaller -- reduced by about 5,000 seats -- because of the refurbishing project for the horseshoe end of the stadium.
But Texas officials say once it's done, the home of the No. 4 Texas Longhorns will be bigger and better in time for the 2008 season. Texas opens the 2007 season Saturday night against Arkansas State.
Construction crews began demolishing the old horseshoe in December. The new structure moves the seats about 30 yards closer to the action, wiping out the large green space between the field and the stands. Full Story - Synergen Consulting International
