As long as youre in the lower half between the 40's, I actually really enjoy the upper deck view.
My folks' seats are second row upper deck on the north 30 or so. Those seats really have the best view in the house.  You do feel a little disconnected from the game up there.

Sat in the UD a couple of times. The view is neat for a bit, but I'd rather watch on TV. Like you all said. It's about as stale as it gets up there. Maybe it sounds better now with the giganto press box, but I doubt it. Also, not being able to see the students easily makes it lamer.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

UD is great for families. Sat up there for the 2012 Texas game and was surrounded by kiddos. Severely limited the amount of anger I was able to bring.

i think a zipline from aggieville to bsfs, and then float back would be a cool approach

When you look at vanier2.0 from inside the concourse of bramlage (ne concourse) it looks like the stands are on the 50 yard line, it's weird how much bigger it looks in person

It can't possibly be as tall as it's gonna get yet, can it?

I mean looking at the photos and web cams, then comparing to the rendering, it just looks like it has to be much bigger to if the drawing below is to scale with cars/semis, etc.

I think it is.  it's 3 stories above ground.  looks more like 4 stories with the front facade, towers and scoreboard all extending above the top floor. 

the height of a semi-trailer is roughly the same as a story.  12-14ft???  renderings look about right.  4 semi-trailers tall.
