UT Seeks Construction Firm to Expand Longhorn Stadium

The University of Texas has issued a request for qualifications to construction companies that have the capacity to renovate and expand Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The stadium is home to the Texas Longhorns football team and is ranked as the eight-largest stadium in the United States, with the capacity to hold over 100,000 fans. The preliminary cost estimated by the RFQ is a rough $140 million boost. 

The expansion will be centered around the stadium's south end, the site of the $8 million "Godzillatron" screen.
