Texas Football: Updated look at south end zone expansion, new turf installation

The renovations at Darrell K. Royal-Memorial stadium are looking sharp.

Texas will be debuting a new look inside Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium in 2021.

The $200 million south end zone renovation will be ready for the season opener against Louisiana on Sept. 4, and the new turf installation is nearly complete. A week ago, the Longhorns gave fans a brief look of the old turf being removed from Campbell-Williams field.

Now, the playing turf will have more of a true burnt orange color. To say the south end zone project looks incredible would be an understatement. It brings a whole new look to the stadium.

Texas fans have been anxiously waiting to see how the new turf would look in general, but being able to see the near-finished product next to the iconic Longhorns logo on the south end zone pulls it all together nicely.

New seems to be the name of the game for Texas ahead of the 2021 college football season. Not only will the Longhorns have new playing turf along with the new south end zone renovation, they’ll also be fielding a new head coach, new quarterback and new schemes on both sides of the ball.

Updated images of the South End Zone project show luxury suites with balconies on each side of the jumbotron.

The University of Texas began a $175 million project on the new South End Zone facility at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium last May. It is expected to be completed prior to the 2021 football season.

While this will enclose the stadium and enhance the gameday atmosphere for the fans, head coach Tom Herman explains the importance of the project for the players.

“When you come to The University of Texas, you deserve to train in the finest facilities in the country. We’re close right now with the renovations that we did when we first got here with our locker room and weight room, and this new project will certainly put us in the upper echelon of training facilities nationwide.”

Amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that has cancelled many sporting events around the world, Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman gave Longhorns fans some excitement to look forward to.

These updated images show an incredible upgrade to the South End Zone, including more permanent seating and luxury suites with balconies on each side of the jumbotron.

Although the stadium has been home to the Longhorns football team since 1924, it has been expanded several times since its original opening.
