- Smokey the Cannon is in the eastern section of the north end zone. The 2007 expansion brought the seats closer to the field so the cannon was relocated to the southeastern corner of the stadium.

| abstract
| - Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium (formerly War Memorial Stadium, Memorial Stadium, and Texas Memorial Stadium), located in Austin, Texas, has been home to the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns football team since 1924. The stadium has delivered a great home field advantage with the team's home record through the 2012 season being 352-100-10 (77.2%). The current official stadium seating capacity of 100,119 makes the stadium the largest football-only venue by seating capacity in the state of Texas, the largest in the Big 12 Conference, the sixth largest stadium in the NCAA and the United States, and the ninth largest non-racing stadium in the world. While DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium has the largest seating capacity in the U.S. state of Texas, the NFL's Dallas Cowboys' new stadium, Cowboys Stadium, has an overall capacity of approximately 111,000 when combining a seating capacity of 80,000 plus outdoor party plazas capable of accommodating up to 31,000 standing fans. The DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium attendance record of 101,851 spectators was set on October 6, 2012, when Texas played new conference mate West Virginia. The stadium has been expanded several times since its original opening. The University's most recent completed project was a $27 million expansion and renovation project to the south end zone facilities in August 2009. For the 2009 season, 4,525 permanent bleacher seats were constructed, which allowed the stadium to become the first football stadium in Texas capable of seating in excess of 100,000 persons and brought the stadium to its current seating capacity. In May 2013, Regents for the University of Texas system approved a $62 million stadium improvement project. This project will improve and add athletic and academic facilities within the existing stadium structure, but it will not expand the current seating capacity. The timeline for this project's completion has not yet been revealed.
