yes

I mean, we will clearly have the finest Peruvian themed athletic facility in the country, but I am little worried we might get teased.

Inside looks a bit Allen Fieldhouse-y. Video boards look awesome. Completed bowl looks awesome. Terraces look kinda strange. Dead bushes on terraces look kinda strange. Field looks amazing. Sunset and clouds look amazing. goEMAW watermark looks amazing. K-State fans look amazing.

These rendos don't really mesh with the quotes from the AD about what the end zone fun zone would look like, there is certainly no player/fan interaction happening with those tunnels. Also, already mentioned, that looks like way too many rows to not increase capacity. The bleachers doesn't account for that many more seats, there aren't 5000 seats in the bleachers. I like what is there it just doesn't exactly match the very limited things the ad has said.


If powercat pat mentions adding seating in the corners and increasing capacity one more time I'm going to find where he lives, pour bleach in his toilet & give him a 5 minute swirly. Think man, jesus.

I think Currie just meant that adding more seating wasn't a goal or priority.  If the seating goes up a small amount, no big deal.

I think they'll add seats when the do the SEZ (if we need them).

KU fans are really going to make fun of us for those terraces.  I can hear it now.  "GO FARM YOUR TERRACES, YOU PERUVIAN FARM HUMPERS?"

We need to get out in front of this and really own it, and promote it as a good thing.  I am picturing some signs on the interstate and at the stadium like this:

The "27" is like written on there, and can be changed.  Obviously our yields will increase over time with more experience.

Maybe we sell off the rights to seed producers and they can all put their signs up on each terrace, and really show their stuff off.  People will be like "Did you that rough ridin' Pioneer Milo on the third terrace?  Holy cow!"

So, we have what, like 5 levels of terracing here? How many bushels of crops does that equal?

A lot of this comes down to maintenance.  Do we plan perennials, or annuals?  I mean, I want to be a good steward of the LHC Bill Snyder Family Crop Terraces, but would it be wrong of me to really want us to go with rice?  I know it requires a ton of water, but it's very pretty and good tasting.  I know it's probably not going to happen when "Big Wheat" gets a word of it, but dream big right?

I mean let's not go calling it a completed bowl. :frown:

I don't really have a problem with it  :dunno:

I think the exterior looks awesome and when we build a facade on the east side and build the hotel or whatever on the west side of the ood, our entire complex will look amazing from the outside

boards looks awesome, terraces are kinda weird but will hold judgement until final renderings are done, these look like really prelim renderings to me

New jumbotron on south end will be really nice (and big).  The 2 screens on the north will be almost the same size as the big one currently on the south end.
