Well now, if it really is going to be 295 feet tall then that's fantastic. That'll be about double the height of the Staybridge Suites Hotel which is around ~150 feet tall. And yes, the spires on the Alamodome are 300 feet tall. Also the ceiling in the dome is 125 feet high. I'd imagine the top of the roof is a good 20 feet higher than that. I assume that 125 foot height is measuring it to the rafters and video/speaker system, and not the actually bottom of the dome. I guess they'd measure it that way for exact measurements since it might host certain events where they'd need the clearance.
Anyway, this is great news. 295 feet will make quite an impact there.
Oh and, I won't make this thread a sticky, there are a ton of building threads, so I'll just leave it unstuck. It'll fall down the list, but it won't be deleted since the forum's automatic pruning feature has been turned off, (used to delete threads that hadn't been posted in for 6 months). Anyway, if I see anyone post a new thread for the building, like with an update of photos, I'll merge it with this thread to keep the discussion healthy in a single thread.
