Stadium Lights Being Installed

[NT80]

Light standards are being installed at the new stadium. Someone posted all 4 are up on the student side. I wish they had stayed with the double-pole lights as in the original renderings; but these single pole ones probably cost less. I think the double poles like at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco and Texas Tech add an extra touch of size to the facility, plus you can add signage between the poles.

There will be only two single poles on the pressbox side, plus a row of lights above the pressbox.

Each pole looks to have 2 to 3 times as many light fixtures as the poles at Fouts.

Wish they were the double bay lights/poles like the renderings show.

Double poles look a lot classier. The single poles tend to look like intramural field lights.

Then there are a lot of college stadiums with intramural style field lights.

We could push the cost of the stadium into 100 million of we went high end on everything. Double poles would look nicer but it will co$t extra.

The extra cost could be deferred by selling advertising between the poles like they do at Pizza Hut Park. Sometimes, we need to think outside the poles!

Your talking about the same university that is about to hire a head coach with a career record of 56 wins and 85 losses. Are you surprised?
