Or "Loge Boxes" as their called in the article from the Star: http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/colleges/kansas_state_university/16569164.htm

Bramlage will add boxes
The Kansas City Star
Bramlage Coliseum will get a makeover at the conclusion of the 2006-07 season.

Loge boxes will be added on the upper east side of Bramlage Coliseum, according to K-State director of major gifts Chad Weiberg. HOK Sport of Kansas City has been contracted to do the work. It is hoped the loge boxes will be in place for the 2007-08 season.

There will probably be 14 to 16 loge boxes, with a combined 68 to 70 seats, Weiberg said Friday. Among the features of each loge will be catered food, flat-screen TVs, cabinetry, leather chairs and refrigerators.

The loge boxes will take the place of about 500 seats now used as general-admission seating, mostly for students. Those displaced by the loges will not be forgotten.

“We’ve got space for them,” Weiberg said. “It basically will shift them a little.”

The cost for loge box seats is $3,000 per seat plus the price of a season ticket, which was about $400 this season. Weiberg said so far he has enough orders to fill six loge boxes. If you are interested in the loge boxes, call Weiberg at (785) 532-6901.

They must be simply giving up the 500 or so seats that aren't sold out this year if they plan on shifting the students.  It will be interesting to see how this looks and how it changes Bramlage.

As I've said before and as was illustrated on Saturday it is the chairbacks that consistently don't show up in large numbers.  The student sections were completely sold out.

This could either turn out to be a really good idea (like hiring Bob Huggins) or it could completely suck (like building Bramlage).

HOK knows what they're doing, they're the best in the business and are a place with a lot of KSU connections.
We're stuck with Bramlage whether we like it or not, might as well try to develop something out of it.

This sounds like the club level of the football stadium rather than the suites.

I'd be pretty interested in a pair of seats in there, but no way in hell I can afford that.

And, who wants to sit at the TOP?
