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.

Are you bragging about skid loaders now? JFC you could not be any more pathetic.Fleetfull? Are you fu*king retarded, or is it just bull sh*t education you have?
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.
Luxurious leg room!

Who's the architect?

Awesome.[/quoteI was going to say crammed movie theater, except instead of 3d glasses you would need binoculars.
It's like if KSU just put a window in front of 1 section of the west side of the stadium and called it a suite.

They've done a few decent sports projects, but mainly renovations and they specialize in mostly other building types. A typical huge firm. Not like, oh for instance, HOK Sports/Populous that specializes in sports and venue building types. Now that is a huge list of projects.

HOK did the Booth hall of fame on Allen, gotta spread the work around to the KC companies I guess. Support all the ku alumni

I like that they are making an investment, but this is crap. Its a free standing building that does nothing to hide the ugly exterior on the east side. Plus, how smart is it to spend that money to build onto 90 year old concrete?I'm disappointed that the decision wasn't made to tear down the stadium and build new on the same spot. What Minnesota did was impressive, and you could build a modern 55,000 seat stadium for $200-$250 million. Instead, we get a bolt on building like Camerohead, except this one is about a quarter mile from the field itself. I'm just underwhelmed.
