Thanks for all the updates, Jon. I enjoy seeing what's going on in Waco.
This American-Statesman piece says the stadium will seat 45,000 and could be expanded to 55,000 later. It's supposed to open in August 2014.

Baylor's land buy raises red flags with stadium's neighbors

Baylor University has snatched up dozens of vacant lots in the neighborhood east of its new riverfront football stadium, but a city planner Monday told worried neighbors that zoning restrictions are in place to keep the neighborhood residential.
But some neighbors weren’t buying it. At a meeting of the Olive Heights Association, several residents said Baylor has the clout to get zoning changed for whatever it wants to do.
At the meeting, city planning director Clint Peters displayed a map showing that Baylor has bought residential lots throughout the neighborhood, including four connected blocks along East Seventh Street.
