The stadium has an official seating capacity of 50,000 and is the eighth-largest among current Big 12 members. After new construction in 2013 and 2015, the exterior of two sides of the stadium is clad with limestone, and features towers with decorative limestone battlements – reminiscent of the appearance of the school's old World War I Memorial Stadium.
