We captured the McLane Stadium in Waco owned and operated by Baylor University and home to the Baylor Bears in this aerial panorama at sunset. Using our aerial camera we were able to capture this panorama with the Brazos river and the McLane stadium plus the cable stay bridge just as the sky picked up these wonderful colors of oranges and pinks and blue at sunset. You can see the light were on in the blue phase on the cable stay bridge on IH35 which help to enhance this image of the stadium. The cable stay bridge is slowly changing color after dusk and with this incredible colors of oranges, pinks and yellow at twilight we felt we had succeeded in a nice image of the stadium. The stadium was just complete in 2014 and has a seating capacity of 45,140 and is expandable to 55,000. The stadium is located on the north bank of the Brazos river and fan can arrive at the stadium by boat and they can tailgait in the Baylor Basin next to the stadium. Not every universtiy can boast that feature. The unique horseshoe design of the stadium leave one side open to the brazos river and the university.. The name was changed to McLane Stadium in December 2013 to honor alumnus and business magnate Drayton McLane, Jr., who provided the lead gift for the stadium construction. The cost of the stadium was 266 million dollars to complete. The goal was to build a first class stadium for Baylor University and bring it back to campus but also to serve not only as the front door to Baylor University but also as the East anchor of downtown Waco and also contribute to the growth of Waco along with development along the Brazos Riverfront.

Baylor McLane Stadium Sunset Pano – This is an aerial panorama capture of the Baylor University McLane Stadium in Waco with this view looking back over the waters of the Brazos river and the IH 35 stay bridge that runs along the side of the stadium just as the sun set and the sky lite up with colors of pink, reds, and orange glow. This stadium is part of the Baylor University campus and is home to the Baylor Bears team. A wonderful new stadium for Baylor and in this image we were able to capture this as an aerial panorama with this wonderful sunset looking back up the Brazos river towards the new stay bridge with their blue lights on. Sometime you just can't capture an image from the ground and an aerial image allows us the ability to get a better vantage point where we were able to capture a better view of the stadium plus the blue led lighted stay bridge on IH35 or Jack Kultgen Freeway which goes over the Brazos river in Waco all in one shot with this wonderful sunset as a backdrop. This stay bridge is relativity new and has the ability to change to different colored led lights that slowly cycle to different colors phases around dusk which pops much better with this nice sunset glow you can see they were in their blue phase at this time which was a perfect backdrop for this image. Good sunset are hard to find and on this day we were bless with a great one but not enough time to send the drone up again. Next time maybe!

We captured this image of the McLane Stadium at Baylor University right at twilight as the sky was lighting the clouds with these wonderful pink color over the stadium on the north bank of Brazos river. You can also see the soft green lights in the stadium that we thought made this image pop. This stadium offically open in August 2014 against the SMU where the Bears were able to defeat them 45-0. This is a good size stadium that has a capacity of 45,140 and can be expanded to 55,000 if needed. This stadium also sits on the north side of the Brazos River and their is a nice pedestrian bridge to cross over the Brazos river so people can cross from the university or can catch a ride on a boat. This is probably the only stadium that fans can arrive by boat and tailgate in the Baylor Basin next to the stadium.
