On Monday, a video featuring the new and improved DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium circulated around social media.

New Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and a few others shared the hype video via Twitter:

In 2019, the $175 million south-end zone expansion project began at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. Upgrades include a new entry tower, a longhorn-shaped balcony, a student concession area, and patios.

Furthermore, Texas athletics director Chris Del Conte recently announced that stadium capacity is expected to return to 100% in his weekly "Forty Acres Insider" newsletter:

"We are planning for 100% capacity at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium this fall, and all of our Texas Traditions are back and better than ever! Bevo Blvd., Smokey's Midway, and Longhorn City Limits are all returning."
