Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas
A FOOTBALL ACADEMIC CENTER AND HALL OF FAME
The University of Texas spent $27 million for a new Football Academic Center and a Hall of Fame. The bleachers at the south end of the stadium were removed and replaced with permanent seating, bringing the total capacity to 100,119 spectators. The grass field was also replaced with a new “FieldTurf” surface, a brand of artificial turf designed to replicate the performance of a natural grass surface.
