Haha I'm confident our band hasn't been the reason we have won or lost games because they sit behind the visitors bench.  Throw em' in the NE corner and let's call it done.

So it is my understanding that the football program started moving into Vanier yesterday. Any of you that follow players (or coaches) on Twitter or Instagram, please feel free to repost some pictures here. TIA.

It takes a lot of space to play an instrument.

False. 

Playing a clarinet or picolo takes up as much space as housing a turkey leg.


Folks, if there's one person that's an expert on playing instruments in a marching band it's Belvis.

So, band in the NE corner means that section will probably look nothing like the NW corner, right? Just completely K-State0 the whole project.. just right

When empty. 

when full of elite emaws bozzehounding in the NW and band dorks dancing in gym shorts in the NE, the NEZ will basically be the opposite of k-stateo.

I'm beginning to think some of you pay no attention to modern stadium design.   There's lots of things new stadiums that would have been considered weird back in the day of "we need smooth flowing lines" on everything. 

Juts, weird angles, strangely shaped decks. 

What's the word I'm looking for to describe some of you?  Obtuse?  Monolithic?

I don't about obtuse.

But I am pretty jacked to party under the deep cantilever of the North end zone mullet.

True, but those modern stadium designs work best when the entire stadium is modern, which BSFS is not. Already existing stadiums that expand and don't keep the original aesthetic at least partly in mind look very patchwork and ultimately very bad, which is what why I stress that near-symmetry is important in something like the NEZ. Yes, if the NE corner is very different from the NW corner, it will look K-State0. It would be different if the rest of the stadium were asymmetrical and modern and  "New Soldier Field'y". But it's not. The aesthetic in the rest of the stadium is clean lines and even proportions.

A perfect case study in what can go wrong when additions don't take the original architectural feel into heavy consideration exists at Georgia's Sanford Stadium.

Here is a picture of the "old" Sanford Stadium, pre-200..8 or so?  Absolutely beautiful. Elegant curves and a nice, clean, even upper deck all the way around. Great proportions, nice symmetry. Though it wasn't a perfect multi-tiered bowl like Neyland Stadium, it had a beautiful, "classic" architectural look. The Greeks would've been proud.






Then they got greedy and added an upper deck expansion. (The stadium is deep in the heart of campus and they can pretty much only build up at this point.)  This new upper deck did not do a great job of blending in with the old classic architecture of the stadium and it's pretty much universally hated by Georgia fans who are more than 8 years old. It has new, weird lights that don't match. It has staircases and elevator shafts on the outside of the stadium that anachronistically modern and dumb compared to the rest of the beautiful stadium. Also, it just throws off the perfect balance that the previous version of the stadium had.





So yeah, we can add modern flair to new additions, but it'd be dumb to do it just because that's what brand new stadiums built in the last 10 years are doing. It's imperative to take into consideration the overall aesthetic of the stadium. Those new stadiums with all the juts, weird angles, and strangely shaped decks were built in the last ten years. Ours wasn't.

I think the corners will be symmetrical.  just, one will be full of boozehounds and the other with band dorks eating apples in gym shorts 

what's the issue here?

No issue here, just a bunch of IRL friends having an internet discussion about stade design.  :D

Back on LHC Bill Snyder's office column.  I'd be fully in favor of tearing down the whole building if this is a viable fix.

Oh yeah. The column thing. Very weird imo.
