I think it's brilliant that we are going to grow grapes in those corner garden thingys.  KU fans are like "you grapes blah, blah, blah" and we are like "Yep."

Field Side =  :love:
Street Side =   :blank: not a fan of the mini castle

squawk outed
It just looks goofy compared to the WSC.  Like the rendering guy copy and pasted the WCS at 1/2 scale and called it good. 
Hopefully they change it up a little bit, or connect them to look like one continuous building.

Don't think they'll put a weight room on the second floor.

lol yeah ik, just wishful thinking for a NEZ flythrough like they did with the wsc. Would look badass.

Probably $1000 a bottle, at least.

I think we should carbonate the wine, and use it to celebrate when we have big wins.

We could also grow some of that space aged perennial wheat that Dlew tuned me into a while back.

Would be shocked if Currie actually rips out the old metal bleachers. I think maybe they just left them off the rendos so they don't look like crap.

If we have to have the terraced vegetation could we just make it sloped grass with a gravel K on the left and S on the right? Or purple flowers for the first half of the season would tell everyone just how :kstategrad: we are.

I like it, just wish it was a bit taller and elitier looking from inside.

goEMAW is pretty amazing at breaking these kinds of things.

No.

Our quest to become the only university with vegetation end zone corners is nearly complete.

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.

Northwest and northeast corners won't be done before the 2015 season but the building will.  It will have 4 levels with a great use of space and not nearly as spread out.

It is similar, conceptually, to Arizona.

So, we basically have a Texas Tech WSC and an Arizona NEZ.  But nicer on both counts.

Is anyone else concerned that the endzone corner terracing makes our stadium look like machu picchu?
