Yes - here's a story in the Houston Chronicle with several pictures.
I believe the wrecking ball starts next week. By the way, the school website lists construction projects as either: In Planning, In Design, Under Construction or Completed. UH has moved the football stadium project from the "Design" section to the "Under Construction" section. Last edited by CougarRed; December 9th, 2012 at 01:18 PM. |

According to this press release, UH will unveil official renderings on December 19 at a joint press conference with the architects.
In addition, that same day UH will launch a new website called houstonfootballstadium.com where fans can go and see the renderings, follow the construction, etc. |

Those 766 seats, while situated in the lower bowl, are the 22" padded armchair Club seats. So there will be no seating in the actual club. Instead, holders of these premium lower bowl seats have Club access. Last edited by CougarRed; December 20th, 2012 at 11:31 PM. |

Houston had the groundbreaking ceremony today. Here is some news coverage and another story with pics.
Today they also announced that John O'Quinn's estate has donated $5M to the project to retain the naming rights to the playing field. Since 1999, it had been John O"Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium. Come 2014, it will be John O'Quinn Field at ___________ Stadium. We don't have a stadium naming rights deal finalized yet, but the AD said today we are making great progress. It should fetch $20M+ Moderators, please move this thread to "Under Construction." Thanks. Last edited by CougarRed; February 8th, 2013 at 07:46 PM. |
