It's been like two weeks since the budget committee blocked the bond request, and KU already has a private donor financing phase 1 of the project.  K-State would be holding a bakesale and praying to God that one of its fans won the lottery if it was in the same situation.

This post continues to be hilarious on so many levels.

Didn't that "private donor" turn out to be some guy with a tractor and an asphalt company that could tear out the running track to put in a harley track?

done (usable) by July 31st, huh? 36 days before our first home game.

ok, we're one of, if not, the richest ad in the nation, so don't tell me it's the money. is it really this time crunch with 5 extra weeks (840 man hours at 24/7) why the NE corner won't get done this year?

My understanding is the reason the two aren't getting done at the same time is because section 28 on the east side extends too far to the north and the challenge of removing half of that section to make room for the NE corner build is too great of an undertaking given the time frame.

Is that not correct?

could they not be doing that right now while they're taking 8 weeks to tear down the old snyder family recreational easement?

If you included altering section 28 as part of this project, then the entire project might have to wait to begin until it passed code -- and there are lots of questions about what altering a 1960s seating bowl means as far as passing code. The initial discussions indicated it might take a while to figure that out, meanwhile, rest of project could be delayed while those questions were answered -- and obviously you'd like to have team facilities done prior to season.

Moving NE corner into sep project allows primary facility to be completed in one offseason, gives time for code issues to be resolved for NE corner, plus gives two fundraising cycles to allow for higher end finishes and such throughout (and spreads cost over two FY). Current project, not including NE corner, is $69M. Not sure on cost of NE corner, but its much less than that obv.

Is the AD thinking of maybe throwing Phase IV (ribbon boards, video boards, limestone wall :pray:) into the construction of the NE corner? Would the delay of said limestone wall possibly be due to the same coding issues as the NE corner?

Didn't they mix some Phase 3 stuff into Phase 2 because we had the extra money and could just knock them out right then and there?

Yeah the private donor "donated" the labor to remove the track... which is probably code for an incredibly crooked tax fraud scheme.

I thought so, but I can't remember exactly what those were. I'm just more curious that our beloved wall might be held up due to the same reason the NE corner was being held up

I believe Beems was referring to Marie S. McCarthy Hall--the basketball dorms.  It might surprise you, but that money was donated by the McCarthy family.

Yep, you're right Spracne.  I didn't follow the link to the quoted post initially and just assumed that it was in reference to the Memorial Stadium renos since CC posted it in this thread.

Good catch.

As far as I know construction is under way.  Supposed to be done next summer :dunno: 

The robot parking garage was for the mixed-use residential/retail complex that is/was to be developed by some private firm near the football stadium.  You might remember the little old lady who refused to sell her house for the project?  Anyway, last I heard about that the city was giving them crap for not having enough parking spaces or something like that.
