The South End Zone expansion and renovation project will bring renovations to the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center, expand amenities for student-athletes and enhance the coaches' offices, along with providing a number of improvements and additions to gameday fan experiences.
The design of the new South End Zone will fully enclose the stadium for the first time in DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium's 96-year history, carrying over the architecture of the north and east sides through new entry towers and filling in the corners with concessions-equipped terraces. One of the project's crown jewels lies inside the seating bowl. A Longhorn-shaped balcony designed into the end zone seating will be visible from the air and is the first time a logo will be carved into a seating bowl. It will offer a unique new home for football coaches' offices and provide an electric atmosphere that everyone can embrace.
Construction on the seats, clubs and additional amenities are scheduled to be completed in time for the 2021 Texas Football season.
