Currie is a classic under-promise and over-deliver kind of guy. 

I wonder what level of basketball coach he promised to hire

Currie is a classic under-promise and over-deliver kind of guy.  He won't commit to something until he's goddamned sure he can deliver.  And when he swoops in with a "oh btw ya we're going to do this too" then we love him even more.  Tried and true sales strategy.

Oh yeah, you bought the car, but now, but now, you're gonna get free floor mats and 4 free oil changes bro!  Blam!

Rich people problems. 

[Panjandrum]

can we all just finally admit that the outside looks good and the inside looks like absolute dog crap?

I think absolute dog crap is a little harsh.  The seats and corners aren't great, but the videoboards and tunnels are nice.

Yeah, I think the whole interior is actually pretty nice, I just hate those windows and that silver rectangle that boxes the windows, and that weird tin roof looking thing. I guess the silver box kinda matches the WSC but the other two things don't, and they could have done a better job at matching. The exterior is pretty damn good, my only complaint is i wish the main entrance was an arch like the WSC, makes it look more like a castle and match better, but really, what they got planned is ok.

The metal exterior on the WSC and Vanier will need regular maintenance because I'm looking at the exact same thing out of the window of my building right now, and after about 10 years, it gets stained and looks like crap.

When I saw that, I immediately cringed.  It doesn't weather well at all.

It looks like they have added some layered views of how Vanier will be constructed, some construction timeline pictures, and some additional angles including a sweet picture from the inside of a coaches office.

few notable tidbits from the site:

1.  "The new north stadium will include our first step towards a new limestone field level wall along the north end of the field. Once this end is complete, we intend to continue this finish around the entire field in a future phase of the LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium Master Plan." 

2.  "Yes, we have been advised that the vast majority of the construction can take place between football seasons to minimize the in-season impact on our coaches, student-athletes and fans. However, it is likely that the northeast corner section and northeast video board will not be completed until the 2016 or 2017 season."

i guess they are notable but note even remotely new news.

[MouseRat]

Laughing at the size of the compliance office.  Is this the NCAA equivalent of keeping a SEC agent in house?  Betting that office winds up being empty storage space.

[Belvis Noland]

I found it noteworthy for the "BSFS Expansion Thread" that the northeast corner may not be done until 2017.  Considering most - including myself - assumed it was guaranteed for the 2016 season.

Remind me again what a gatorade fuel bar is.

Remind me again what a gatorade fuel bar is.

It is an uneccessary amenity that 90% of D1 programs don't have including most of the elite ones.  Hot damn we've made it!

it was literally always presented as 2016 or 2017.

[Belvis Noland]

yeah, no.  all we had were some confusing renderings with the northeast corner included in some photos and not in others.  no explanation.  until the FAQ was recently updated on kstatesports.com. 

so, I posted the info. 

sorry for wasting your time. 

[scottwildcat]

yeah, no.

yeah, it was always presented as being a separate stage, and 2016 or '17 was always the timeline for it.

Belvis doesn't get enought Kudos for all the effert he puts into gE'ing.

The new North seating bowl will include new ADA seating and will be connected to both the east and west side concourses something that has been lacking on the north side of the stadium for a long time. There will also be new overall seating including some enclosed seating above the outdoor seats, a new scoreboard and new video boards on the Northwest and Northeast corners. The Northeast section which will include the video board, visiting team locker rooms as well as training and officials areas will be completed by either 2016 or 2017 The project will be led by world-renowned sports design firm Populous in conjunction with the Construction Management team of Mortenson and GE Johnson Construction. - See more at: http://1350kman.com/k-state-unveils-plans-for-north-stadium-project/#sthash.SsBzWEyX.dpuf
