I wonder if fireworks after the first game will be better because we can probably fit more on top of there

Looks like that's to hide the hvac stuff

Ribbon board can hide hvac as well, but the rendos seem to lean towards just hiding hvac

I have a feeling that, despite being the same height as what's hiding HVAC/etc, that it will extend the length of the building eventually and be what the ribbon board attaches to.

I don't think the renders show HVAC. That block on top of the ribbon board is probably speakers. Looking at the aerial shot there is a parapet wall that will probably extend up high enough to do a decent job. Just set those bad boys back far enough and I they will be screened fine.

I hope this doesn't mean that we aren't getting full ribbon board.  That'd be rough ridin' dumb.

Renderings show the clock above the ribbon board on its own.

I feel very confident the money for NE corner is there. Would the Animal give ADJC an extension/raise with that not locked up?

Looks like they're putting some minor K-Stateo touches on it with a 1990's style scoreboard/playclock.

I have a hunch they want at least one traditional style scoreboard in the stadium.   All the others are graphics on a video screen and they probably want some redundancy.

It sure looks KStateo, I'll post pictures in a bit. I don't know about the ribbon board now that this old timey scoreboard has been placed on top.

Apologies for the low quality, had it zoomed a bit much

Remaining funds for the scoreboard have been transferred to ADJC on account of the extension

Different size pieces on the buildings. WSC has short long pieces, Vanier 2.0 has taller square pieces.

I guess I just don't get what the big deal is, there's plenty to talk about in K-StateO world, but that scoreboard isn't one of them.

I am sure they wanted at least one scoreboard and probably the play clocks to be of the traditional LED variety because there's just less things that can go wrong with them.

Hopefully it's the same color at least.

Different quarries would be my guess.  The last quarry probably ran out.
