    350 more beds just off campus near McGregor. Private development. This will make 8100 beds for 2014. Story

    I heard that they expect construction to start in January 2014. Which means we should start hearing about this project soon at the regent level because it will take several months to select a contractor/architect and for the design phase. The next quarterly BOR meeting is 2/13/13. Then there is often a Special Meeting in March or April. Then a quarterly BOR meeting 5/15/13.

    At one point, there was talk of a skyway bridge from the garage into the stadium. I don't know if that's still in the works. As for the proximity of the garage, I'd much rather have that "problem" than North Texas' parking situation at their new stadium. Imagine if the only parking for UH football was on the other side of I-45 . . .

    Pursuant to a press release today, the demolition project for Robertson will begin December 2. The first week will be dedicated to fencing and preparing the stadium for demolition. Major demolition activity begins on December 10 and should last 6-8 weeks. A stadium webcam has been set up.

    By the way, the stands are right on top of the field. You can't build stands any closer to the field than that. I love that. The suite level/club level will be build in the middle of the home stands like TCU just built. Closer to the field than if we put them at the top of the home stands. And easier to access. The lower bowl will be built below grade. It will have 25-28 rows. The main concourse will be about 5 feet above ground level. The main concourse will have an unobstructed view of the field. Like Rice Stadium or Minute Maid. The concessions/restrooms will be built into the walls of the structure behind the concourse.

    The field runs WNW to ESE. If it were a clock, the stadium runs on the 10:00-4:00 line. I have posted a true north map below. On that map below, downtown is NW. So the opening in the stadium allows the HOME stands and some of the Cullen end zone stands to have the skyline view. I got the images from a document that UH released today. They've since pulled the document down. But I took screenshots.
