Jerry Jones and the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas might have the most gaudy luxury viewing area in football, but Kansas University is closing in.
The best part about KU’s version of the luxury deck is that fans can actually watch the game from it, unlike the overflow area at Cowboys Stadium.
Suck it Jerry Jones!
This season, KU’s Touchdown Club will receive a facelift that should provide one of the most unique gameday viewing opportunities in the Big 12 Conference, if not the country.
Instead of just providing covered recliners and stools in the south end zone as has been the case for the past two seasons, the area below the giant, state-of-the-art scoreboard at Memorial Stadium now will feature a 60-by-20-foot enclosed, glass suite.
Baiscally, he just described the Big 12 room in the Vanier complex that has been operational for over 15 years. :lol:

You can keep throwing money at a trailer park, but it's still a trailer park
-
60 by 20? Are the describing a double wide or a VIP seating area? :lol:
-
They are so low class
-
who will show up to use it tho?
-
60x20, that's about the size one of the low tier suites in the future Schulz/Currie Taj Mahal.

You can take the fans out of the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of the stadium.
-
I would be more impressed with a 60x20 foot enclosed bouncy-house.
-
Does cowboy stadium have any La-Z-Boy's
-
I'm picturing a bunch of squawks standing in a glass cage.
-
why is it called the touchdowns club when KU doesn't score any touchdowns? are opposing teams' higher ups going to be hosted as guests there?
:ck:

We use our similarly situated, but built out of permanent high quality materials endzone suite to hose recruits and their families during games. Theirs is a lean-to built merely to keep the rain off of the remnants of Lew Perkins' cohorts that Cheynne Zulu is desperately trying to keep on board (unsuccessfully).

As being an ex-football coach in the collegiate level I'm telling you a big recruiting factor is facilities. When your facilities are nice kids will want to play for you. This is just a small building block in the whole picture. I'm glad they are putting so much effort into the football program. One day it will all pay off with a larger football experience. More tax revenue, visitors, local business flourishing ect ect ect. Sports = Prosperity for the whole community.

it's all falling into place

When it comes to these types of things, no fanbase can shift a paradigm like kutuckville.
2 years ago, they were all giddy about Gridiron Club: Coming Fall 2010
Now, it's a better doublewide in the endzone.

But...but....but this is going to block the view of the hill!

God, those guys should just give up and add a chain link fence around the outside of the track. Add to the high school charm of the place.

CLOSING IN!
History Awaits.... Closing In
This is the TRIAL version:

They needed a trial to determine the plan to build the real thing?

Dammit, you forgot to mention that view of the hill is legendary and one of the most inspiring fan experiences in all of college sports. No "RocK Chalks" for you.

The new look is not the only thing about the Touchdown Club that’s changing. Prices are dropping, too.
In the past, the recliner seats ran $2,650 each for a season ticket. This year, they’re down to $1,800 for the season. The cost to reserve the sport stools also has dropped, from $1,500 to $1,200. New to the area this season, thanks to the luxury suite that will sit behind and above the actual seats, is a standing-room-only option, which can be purchased at a price of $1,000 for the season.
And they are cheaper too!

Can't believe no one wants to sit on a bar stool in the lower endzone to watch NDSU beat up on them. :kstategrad: <-- except opposite
-
Wow, I can't believe that retards who would want to watch a game from the endzone on a barstool can't afford a $1500 season ticket.
-
A chance to be in a comfy bar-like atmosphere, surrounded by like minded fans, all while being able to watch KU football.
sounds like half the bars in JoCo.
Pretty bad job of offering "something different or something new", ku.

With styrofoam cups crammed in the holes to form words of inspiration for the team.

Could use to supplement sign costs to provide relief to their depleted facilities budget
