Does anybody has the picture of what the stadium would look like bowled in?

As others have stated, the lockerroom currently used by the visitors was gutted and renovated by Dooley in 2007 at a cost of more than $500,000. Completely new restrooms and showers with adequate space for an FBS team. A travel party of 65 or so players should not have an issue with it.
To add to what Dawgpix posted about visitor's lockerrooms in CUSA, Tech has traveled to places like Michigan State and Penn State in the Big 10 in the past 15 years where the visitor's dressed in very tight quarters.
Also, go the 11:30 point in this video tour of Amon Carter Stadium just prior to its completion. What we're providing is just as spacious as what TCU is providing their visitors in a new stadium.

Before I watched that video I thought of the fact that Amon Carter hosts a bowl game so they couldn't have a huge disparity in locker rooms. They mentioned that during the walk-thru. They also said what I posted, let the home team take care of business on the field.
I expect Tech to strive for greatness, in everything we do. Having "good" facilities for a visiting team, and treating people with hospitality is what one would expect from a class institution.
I think what is consistent in most visitor lockerrooms is the lack of a common meeting area. The Tech head coach has to speak around corners at so many of these venues.
The nicest visitors' dressing room I've seen? Nebraska . . . which provides their "old" varsity dressing room, like Tech, but complete with pics and trophies and plaques that remain and line the walls of the great Nebraska history leading out to the field.
Again, there is not a damn thing wrong with our visitors' dressing room at The Joe. More than adequate than what we usually see on the road.
Oh . . . at TCU, Coach Skip was talking around corners.

HD thinks we need enough room for 85 guys to dress instead of the typical travel squad number. Nothing builds up our school's rep more than to have opposing players talk about what nice showers and $hi##ers we have at EllAyeTech.

Going up fast.
Wish the next plan was to take away the metal seating and bowl the stadium in.
Thanks Cap'n obvious.
