Is this the kind of crap that Weiser wanted?

[wes mantooth]

Will this thing block one of the greatest settings in college football (ie- the gently incline known as "the hill".)?

True, however, by effectively closing the bowl with these luxury seats, their stadium will probably be the loudest in college football.

[honk4tad]

I have to admit, these "luxury" seats aren't one of Lew and crew's brighter ideas, BUT, word on the street about the new football facilities is  , even with the clipart.

It looks like my highschool cafeteria on the outside 

[fat sock]

The mock up of these seats looks cheap but there will be permanent ones installed after the track is removed.  Also I the size of the bleachers will be at least 4 times the size of what you see there so it will look less dinky I suppose.  I expect there to be more covering as well as beer sales too.  I'm interested in seeing how the bathroom situation will be.  I'm guessing they'll use port a potties but they'll do whatever they can to hide them and keep it looking as trashy as it did at KSU.  If Lew can sell 94 of those seats for 2500 bucks a pop I'd say he's doing a great job since all that money will go to the Football program.

Glen Mason asked for a football only facility in 1990 . . . had he stayed at ku 18 years he would've gotten it.

Unfortunately,  4 X jackcrap still equals jackcrap.  You would have to have about 20 of those things to make anything significant.

ku is good at football.  Weird.  Really weird since we're a basketball school.  Personally, I'm a bigger bball fan, but whatev.

[Brock Landers]

ku is good at football had one amazingly fluky and impossible to duplicate season for the first time in like forever.  Weird.  Really weird since we're a basketball school we want you to believe we're an elite basketball school.  Personally, I'm a bigger bball fan, but whatev.

2500 = got to piss in a johnny on the spot?

If he sells all of those it will just show ku fans are morons.

They should use golf carts to take them to the old restrooms in the stadium.

[sonofdaxjones]

K-State Club Level:  Marble Floors, private restrooms, stocked bars, flatscreens, climate controlled interior, sofas, elevator, permanent outdoor chair back seating. 

ku "Club" Level:   Open air, endzone, metal bleachers, with sofas, porta potties, and a keg.

K-State = Class

When you think of classiness, well, you think of KSU.

For ever.  And ever.  Amen.

thank you that is a very nice complement

Do they still have the equivalent of 2 girls 1 cup situation as far as the restrooms at AFH go, or did they finally add some more??

[CatsNShocks]

"A total of 56 “club recliners” will be sold for $2,500 apiece, while 28 additional “club stools” are individually priced at $2,200. The cost includes complimentary food and drink, easy access to one of 22 flat-screen televisions and an opportunity to purchase the recliners following the completion of the season."

Can I have one of those? And, oh boy, I can buy it outright at the end of the season!

"Coffeyville Community College may not be fourth in the state in concession locations for very many more years."

[MoonFrogTed]

One of A&M's strength's has been facilities with recruits, but Henderson was very impressed with the facilities in Lawrence.

"The facilities are a little better than A&M's," Henderson said. "They have a nice indoor weight room. It's out of this world. Some of the best stuff is in there. You can do everything in one area. It's all together."

 

[sonofdaxjones]

The Bright Football Complex is huge, but it's somewhat ordinary on the inside.   But you've got to laugh at the kids "indoor" comment, haven't seen to many outdoor weight rooms at Big 12 schools.   Did he get his algebra grade changed like Duh-Rel did??

"I like Kansas the most and didn't want to lose a spot," said Matthews. "I wanted to commit before somebody else did. I took a tour of the new facilities and they're the best I've seen on any college.

How many facilities has Mr. Matthews toured??   

He got recruited by OSU,  is really saying that ku has better football facilities than OSU who just spent $195 million on football facilities??  OSU is building an Indoor facility that nearly twice as big as Anschutz Pavilion.

Matthews had offers to Louisville and Michigan, but I'm not sure if he took visits there or not.  Being from Texas, I can assume he's unofficially visited all of the Texas schools, as well as several others close to home.  The bottom line is that ku's new facilities are among the very best in the country.

[sonofdaxjones]

Bottomline is ku has facilities that are now about equal with some of the better facilities.   What's going on now is the same thing that happened when NC State opened the Murphy Football Center ($40 million) every time some kid committed they told them to tell everybody that NC State had the best football facilities they'd ever seen.   When UNC opened the Kenan Football Center ($50 million) they told everybody who committed to tell the world UNC had the best football facilities they'd ever seen (which was probably true). 

I've seen all the pictures of ku's new football center, and it doesn't look any better than 20 other football centers I've seen, and it doesn't look any nicer than OU, or Texas, or Nebraska, or MU, or OSU and heck Baylor is building a $34 million dollar football center right now.

You shouldn't get so upset about your facilities sucking...there's more to life, you know?
