TITLETOWN - A Year Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History > BOOZECATS (and other sports we don't care about unless we are winning)
Gotta admit (Ahearn)
sonofdaxjones:
that it makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside to see this picture. Having spent a lot of time in that building, even when it was still used for basketball.
I've always wondered if times and money and mindsets had been a little different how things would have turned out.
If you've ever been to Duke, you would note some similarities between the placement and setting of Cameron Indoor and Wallace Wade Stadium, to the placement of Ahearn and Old Memorial Stadium.
Move everything not athletic related out of Ahearn with athletics occupying all those offices in the Annex/Ahearn Gym, renovate the Fieldhouse, upgrade the practice courts. Tear out the pool and move it out to the Rec Complex and turn that facility into a Volleyball Arena. Enclose Memorial Stadium renovate and expand, and have the whole section between College Heights and Anderson-Sunset and Denison owned by K-State athletics with Football Facility, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Baseball Field located in that.
GTFOOMF with "Parking" there would be all kinds of creative ways to handle that, and don't even bring up tailgating, the Ville is 3 blocks away.
AbeFroman:
I can't even imagine how amazing it would be to 'pak in Aggieville and only have to walk 3 blocks for the game.
06wildcat:
Damnit Dax, now I'm dreaming about all the side benefits of such a complex. Aggieville would extend to Sunset as a true mixed-use business/residential district with several multi-story buildings.
As an added bonus, the locals wouldn't be scared of below grade parking and "gullywashers".

Yeah, I can't help but think this is his fault. I bet he wants there to be another dorm so we don't have to put all those freshman in the Holiday Inn. :bang:
