That building was built for Coach Royal, and remodeled by John Mackovic on one floor, so they're having to redo everything, Del Conte said of the Longhorns stadium renovation.Everything is completely getting torn down to the studs, and the whole thing is about a 240,000 square-foot enterprise when you see how big it is when its all said and done.

"So it's going to be a completely brand new football space that were roughly spending $200 million on, which has been raised by significant donors who want to see Texas compete at the highest level.
