Will be finished in time for 2010 season. 

Don't worry, I'm sure your ancient club seating is better than our brand new one.

Looks like complete garbage. Build a new stadium, dork.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Looks nice.

Love the logic though  . . . Club Seating at K-State that's 11 years old . . . .ancient.   ku football stadium that's 80 years old . . . not ancient.

lol, that is pathetic.
 I can rest assured a uk "architect" put this steaming pile together, probably received excellent remarks and a bonus of sorts.
Probably along the lines of getting the honor to fatman's office towel boy.

Well I will say it's a step up from the erector set in the endzone


Not bad...how many suites does it add to the stadium?  3000 seats added?  what donation level to get them?  Give up some stats, not renderings with clip art football players.

Seems like ku should spend some money fixing what they have, bathrooms, etc...

Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents all but did the wave.

The board on Thursday approved a $34 million addition of high-dollar seating on the east side of Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium, and praised the proposal.

Under the deal, Kansas Athletics Inc. will direct $40 million — a portion of revenue expected from the sale of 3,000 Gridiron Club seats — to academic programs at ku.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little called the proposal a “signal event.” She said it will increase the seating capacity, add to the stadium’s aesthetics, and pump money into academic programs.

And just a few hours after getting permission to move forward, the athletics department launched an aggressive campaign to encourage Jayhawk fans to sign a five to 30 year contract for the seats, at costs ranging from $30,000 for those who sign the five-year contract to $105,000 for those who sign on for 30 years.

All payments will be required up front and ku, according to its Web site, hopes to have the building up in time for the 2010 football season.

According to information that ku is providing on its new Web site devoted to the project, fans can choose from indoor seating, outdoor seating or a combination of the two.

In a letter to donors on that site, Athletic Director Lew Perkins said the new facility was needed to finance not only the academic contribution, but also upgrades to other Olympic sport facilities, including the Olympic Sports Village, which was unveiled earlier this year.

“It would be easy to take a breather, but now is not the time to rest. We must continue our momentum,” Perkins wrote.

Those who purchase the Gridiron will receive Williams Educational Fund Priority Points based on the length of the contract they sign and will be able to pass on their suites to a family member, or sell the suite to someone else if they choose to give it up.

The Williams Fund will hold presentations about the club every Tuesday and Thursday starting Tuesday and running until Nov. 12. The sessions last from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Chancellor’s Room of the Anderson Family Football Complex.

Regent Donna Shank said she has read about universities in other states donating athletic funds to academics and was proud to have the same thing happening in Kansas.

“Congratulations to you. Bravo,” Shank said to Gray-Little.

The cost of the project will be paid by Kansas Athletics.

Gray-Little said no decision has been made yet on specific areas to spend the money that is earmarked for academics.

Those renderings are awful. Exterior design is pretty mediocre if you disregard the clip art. Completely laughable including the clipart. Interior looks about as cheap as possible. Acoustic ceiling tile and grey carpet. The stairs aren't even to code. I like the amount of glass, but once they put in the rest of the columns, it won't look nearly as nice.

These people go to the game to watch it on T.V.?  Can you even see the field from there.  Good Grief your fans suck.  Go to the game to see the game not sit in lounge chairs and watch a t.v.

There really is nothing special about that stadium and regardless of how they arrange the tables in the lounges, it will never be special.  And I don't say that because of our stadium, but rather by what I've seen on the road.  My suggestion is for ku to build something with a little character, something that will make people around the nation take notice.  Unfortunately, the biggest problem for ku is it's fans in the stands; absolutely horrible from student section to alumni.  I will admit that they are getting better at tailgating, but that enthusiasm dies at the gate.

Don't worry fellas. 

We may be burying you in the facilities arms race and piling the dirt on with a fleetfull of skid loaders, but on the field come gameday our programs are still neck-and-neck.
