As The University of Texas continues at the forefront of the college football landscape, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at Cambell-Williams Field remains a state-of-the-art facility.

 

The stadium, which is in 2023 is in its 100th season of operation, has continually gone through upgrades and renovations to enhance the fan and student-athlete experience.

 

In May 2019, Texas Athletics broke ground on a major expansion project in the south endzone od Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium with team moving into their new facility in August 2021. Fans began enjoying all of the amenities associated with it when the Longhorns kicked off against Louisiana on Sept. 4. The $175 million stadium expansion project includes more than a 106,000-square-foot training facility footprint that provides significant upgrades to the Football coaches and staff offices, team areas, strength and development center and athletic training/medical facilities. It also will enhance the fan experience greatly with an end zone seating area of more than 4,500 seats, including more than 1,300 student seats. It includes the Founders Lounge, Myers-Dodds Legacy Club, Living Room and Loge Boxes, as well as a Field Club area right near the action that accommodates more than 800 people. Atop it all is a 160-foot by 44-foot videoboard to visually celebrate all of the action. The total gross square footage of the entire project is more than 215,000-square feet.

 

Prior to the 2017 season, the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center saw upgrades to the Longhorns’ locker room, weight room and meeting rooms. Additionally, to enhance the fan experience, a new LED video board and ribbon boards were installed inside of DKR. Additionally, the west-side façade, including Bellmont Hall, underwent a restoration and reinforcement project, along with an application of a protective coating and painting.

 

After the 2012 season, UT Athletics started a waterproofing and bleacher replacement project to the lower east and west grandstands. Damaged concrete was repaired, then sealed and painted, and new bleachers and chairbacks were installed. Handrails, portals and field level walls on both sides of the lower level were also given a fresh coat of paint. The improvements not only beautify the stadium and improve the fan experience, but also help to preserve the revered structure.
