There are no new ones, those video panels were the original video panels that were put in 10 years ago.
You would have to do major surgery to get decent suites unless you were simply going to enclose the shitty suites we have now and put some nice stuff in them.

I thought the reason the practice training facility didn't actually connect to Bram is so that it didn't qualify as an addition and thus require Bram be brought up to current codes because just doing that would be huge before the cost of the add on facility or proposed changes to other stuff? iirc, there was a pretty large price tag on just the code issues.
A newer concept in basketball arena video boards is the Cowboy Stadium style boards, with larger/longer screens facing the sidelines and then smaller screens on each end facing the endzones. Side viewing capability of LED videoboards has increased dramatically so the majority of the arena could easily view the larger sideline facing boards.

Let's get rid of the tarp and build something over the top (maybe additional seating?) to make it a cooler entrance
No, the visitors need to be "victims" and we need to be the scary ones.

hmmm. maybe "victims" instead of "visitors" and then we enter to chainsaw sounds.
The scoreboard should be octagonal with 8 equal sized (large) video screens.

I think it is because the tunnel that would connect the two was supposed to cost 5 million.

This thread has gone on entirely too long without someone mentioning putting in a lazy river...
Not if we just add on to the one that will go around the football field!This thread has gone on entirely too long without someone mentioning putting in a lazy river...
Too small for a really good lazy river. Better idea is one section of the student section is just a giant ball pit. You'd have to have netting though or else those rascals would throw the ball pit balls on the court!

We should raise the roof and add a second tier of VIP boxes, restaurant/bar and open glass on the side looking over BSFS. ITs a space frame should be too hard to hydralulicly lift it and stretch those columns up.
idea: do a pop up video type thing like on VH1 on the video board but instead of a music video, do it with the players. would be amazing.i'm pretty sure some one on this board does something called "audiology." i imagine he would be a tremendous person to judge the dBs in the sunflower showdown edition of the Octagon of NOISE.
OT: did anyone measure the dB during the game against the HAWKS?
Thesis: Go back to Ahearn.
Antithesis: eff no, grandpa.
Synthesis: BRAMHEARN!

why not just add a glass second floor above the court and then you could walk around with your wine and cheese and watch a basketball game from above. it would be like skycam view.

FWIW, this month is the 6 year anniversary of the origination of the Octagon of Doom name.
3 years ago a chance meeting between ChiCat and Doug Gottlieb took the name national via ESPN.
By the end of January 2010, ESPN was using it in a promo commercial for our game with KU.

I don't agree with ppl that think Ahearn is fantastic.
Tradition is the reason several writers gave KU the nod over us this week in their prediction. Tradition is one of the first words uttered when espn and other outlets begin discussing KU, Duke, UNC, etc. Tradition is one of the best pub devices out there. Its stupid and I don't agree with any of it, but it evidently matters to ppl otherwise they wouldn't try to weave so much story around it in building up match ups.

Uh no. Moving back to ahearn would have saved us mad cash. Demo the Natatorium, convert the adjoined Gym which already has courts in it to the BTF. Replace all glass block with curtain glass walls. It would be the crap. Had we followed the original master plan about buying the entire block from Anderson up to Claflin the the west side of Denison for a parking lot we would have had plenty of parking for Football games/basketball and been able to use it for class every day, solving the rough ridin' awful parking situation KSU has.
But no. We're Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Have you attended KSU in the last 3 years?
We have 24,000+ students with roughly the same amount of parking KSU had when there were 16,000 students. The parking garage did nothing to alleviate the shortage. It's a massive clusterfuck.
I thought it has always been pretty unanimously believed that parking at ksu was(is?) rough ridin' awful.

Used to have an excuse of not having a pop in excess of 50k, so no federal grants to help fund it. Now they are over 50k and the grants were available, but the city said no. Iirc, they wanted the uni to pay for the rest of it since they thought no one other than students would use it.

DNR the majority of this thread.
1. painting the risers makes a huge aesthetic difference for essentially no cost. this simply needs to happen
2. is it feasible to relocate current west side chair backs in the north and south ends? Then replace the west side with modern plush premium seating for the first 10-20 rows and go upgraded chair backs the rest of the way up?

I try to go to as many zoning meetings as possible in our neighborhood, and I swear to god that an hour 15 of the hour and a half meering is a bunch of elderly locals bitching about the parking. JFC if its such a big rough ridin' deal move to the suburbs. Same with you parking nazis. Go to ku or some other god forsaken shithole with a bus. The rest of will enjoy the majesty that is walking up the hill in front of anderson hall, or lovers lane or walking down denison.

People, in general, are Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
These are the same idiots that would literally work themselves into a conniption fit during the planning and construction years for the Sprint Center because it was located downtown and the traffic would be gridlock and nowhere to park their car. Neither of which was a relevant concern in the slightest.
It's a Midwestern thing. Urban density is scary. The thought of public transportation is more scary. The thought of parking their car in a parking garage a block away from an arena or stadium instead of on the outskirts of a 100 acre asphalt parking lot and then walking a quarter mile is also foreign and frightening to many people.

Uselessly wasting a bunch of time must be a midwestern thing too as I grew up in Philadelphia and we don't have time to stroll the yellow brick road everyday. A city designed in the 1600's with 6 million residents has less parking issues than a town of 50,000 in the middle of no-where.
The garage is full.
The lots are full.
The dorms are overflowingly full (8 people are crammed into 4 person jardine apartments) fwiw.
crap, even today the brand effing new rec was full.
It's like they are designing this place for 10 years in the past as opposed to 10 years in the future.
I was actually pretty serious about lifting the roof and getting a second level in there. Think it could be done, and we could get rid of those very touchdown clubesque boxes we have now and get some real VIP stuff with bars and lounges.

Talking about Ahearn makes me sad. Poor decision to abandon it. Would be one of the special venues in all of sports. Alas...
That said, were never going back. So, focusing on Bram.
I wonder how much of the BSFS master plan will be completed before the AD turns it's attention to Bram. It's clear with conference realignment that football is king and our AD, correctly, has focused on dilapidated BSFS. Fortunately, were doing something about it. Unfortunately, were only in Phase II of VI. Even more unfortunately, the most important improvement - Vanier - is Phase VI.
With scarce funding, should we burn through the football master plan,or should we sidetrack BSFS to dump some money into Bram? I mean, I'd love to see a Bram facelift, but to do avoid a piecemeal, shoddy job, Bram really needs 10-20mil. Concourses, donor lounges, exterior, interior, etc. But I'd also like to see 10-20 mil go into a limestone wall, new video boards, ribbon boards, etc. at BSFS.

Indifferent about interior bowl. Sure, there could be improvements. But, Id prefer to see a facelift to the concourses, concessions, etc. We need a donor lounges, expanded premium seating, revenue generating stuff.

THIS
Somebody did a study when The Royals were actively campaigning AGAINST the downtown ballpark...The biggest fear of those that didn't want a downtown ballpark was parking...the average walk from a parking spot to the gates in the Sports Complex is something like .2 of a miles...the average walk from downtown parking to the gates @ the new Busch Stadium in StL is like .15 miles. It's just the psychology of the midwest that drives people to always bitch about parking for some reason

I agree with all of this, we do have a donor lounge though. I've never been to a cbb arena with more than one.
Had we kept Ahearn, the seating capacity would be about 8,000 max due to building codes. It would never be viable without major reconstruction, which would completely change it. The footprint of the structure prevents it from ever being anything more than it is nowLfirecodeIQ, how much updating would have to be done if you don't do a major reno? I thought there were certain exemptions for old structures?
Louisville has 8 of them at the Yum! Center:horrorsurprise:

Arch students re-designed Ahearn back in the late 1970's early 1980's . . . turned the court to go East-West, would have looked like Hinkle Fieldhouse, but obviously would have required indoor track and probably volleyball to move to their own venues. Nobody spent that kind of money to renovate athletic venues back then, they either slapped band aids on them, or just built new ones, that was the mindset.
My beef with Bramlage has always been that they didn't build the building that was promised, they slashed and instead of waiting awhile and getting more money to build what they promised. Of course they slashed and cut while only letting out a nominal amount of information, and it wasn't until the project was significantly done that people really realized that it wasn't going to be what they said it would be. The same amount of money could have done a significant renovation to Ahearn.

Atmosphere, proximity to hotels/aggieville, turnout when we suck, people walking to games when the weather sucks. I think it would bring more potential students in because when they are younger and come for games, they can get a familiar with campus as well (would be a bigger deal for football). On campus facilities are incredible, imo

The Southeast Entrance of Bramlage is 194 feet from the North Side of the Jardine Apartments . . . I'd call that on campus.
It's really time to focus on Bramlage, the BTF is a really nice addition, time to push out the West Side and put in a really nice entrance/concourse area over there, and then modernize the concourse around the whole arena. If they built new athletic offices on the West side, they could take the old offices and put in even more fan amenities.
Pancake . . . Bramlage was supposed to be round, with a cut limestone exterior and have more seats.
Not long ago there was a rendering on here that showed kind of a merged OOD and Ahern...anyone remember where that was? It was awesome. I'd donate to something like that. Not to ribbon boards.yeah with a recreation of the windows on the north end. rough ridin' elite.

your analogy is stupid. there isn't light in a movie theater because it creates a glare on a flat screen, that also has the movie being projected upon it.Would you like people screaming and yelling in a movie theater?i love windows in bball arenas. natural light is cool, imo.

strawman, irrelevant. Point is there are places for sunlight and places for no sunlight

i agree sunlight on the court sucks, but windows on the north side of the OOD wouldn't have sunlight anyway because the sun is always in the southern sky in the winter. And anyhow, i'm sure there are other ways architecture types could figure out a way to minimize sunlight on the court.
because, dumbass, as he explained, it's possible to have windows in an arena without worrying about sunlight on the court.
do not like windows. very high schooly.
So you want the OOD to be like your high school library? The non-con was library enough.do not like windows. very high schooly.
My high school had like one window in the whole building. It was in the library.
personally, i'm #teamwindows
love this

If you're adding windows to the bram add them to the concourse areas not the arena. Concourse needs to be redone to be elite. on the inside extend the open air loge box things all around. Then move the roof up adding seating above and making the concourse two levels. The sides need 8 to 12 rows of "club level" seating with luxury boxes behind them, and on the ends you add 12 to 20 rows of of seating.I hate the idea of taking any seats from students. I have no problem with more lodge seating from the west side. Hell the high level donors don't even like to sit down that far anyway.

Current loge seating is already taken out of student and general admission seating. Adding additional loge seating would not take away student ticket numbers

maybe student seats need to be taken away. seems like it hasn't really been full at all this year. (with exception of KU)well the university should have thought of that before they had the students pay for the building.

From my experience, it is rare that the students are less full than the rest of the stadium. And the ridiculously large student section helped make the OOD.
Some points:
Reno/remodel of Bramlage is definitely in the plans. No idea on timetable, but I do know concourse/videoboard/banners/donor areas are all priorities.
Loge boxes did not take away any student seats, just relocated them to other areas.
There is an old University policy from when Bramlage was built that guarantees a certain percentage of seats be reserved as student seats. So removing any student seats would require SGA and University action and agreement. Not a huge roadblock, but it's not something that Athletics can just do on a whim.

"Banners," as in, replacing our painted accomplishments with actual banners in the rafters?
The student seating policy stems from the fact that the students paid half the bill on Bramlage. Thankfully 8 or 9 years later Max Urick was completely rejected on his plans to get the students to pay for the East Stadium, so Max half assed it instead of going out and trying to raise more money. Thankfully those days appear to be long gone. Seeking student fees on major facilities projects is idiotic in hindsight, and only hurts over the long haul.

Am I the only one who thinks any exit from the tourney prior to the final four doesn't deserve a banner? You didn't win anything. Not even your region. Why have a banner? Why keep score? Everyone is a winner as long as you try hard and have fun. Amirite?NCAAs are fine to have on the wall. Elite 8s can get a banner with all the years done. Final 4s should have their own banner and place in the sun.
Let's talk Ribbon Boards . . . nothing against them if they're showing game stats during game action and then various game related graphics after a dunk or a nice shot, but the constant parade of advertising is annoying, and when they're over deployed, they're even more annoying.
A nice strip of ribbon board in each corner would be fine, but not around the whole arena.

Widening concourses is so boring. Who cares? Spend money on the parts that show up on TV and just make them look awesome. Never have I hone to a game somewhere and been like, "Man that arena was trash but the concourses are so wide! :love: "
sell the doors on ebay, use money to buy better stuff for inside arena
No, wider concourses for Harley Ride Along every game.
I thought the reason the practice training facility didn't actually connect to Bram is so that it didn't qualify as an addition and thus require Bram be brought up to current codes because just doing that would be huge before the cost of the add on facility or proposed changes to other stuff? iirc, there was a pretty large price tag on just the code issues.
That is correct.
Maybe we should just widen the tunnel and have one entry / exit point for everyone. Fans, players, everybody just come on in under the Briggs tarp. But the opposing team doesn't get to come in until everybody else.
This would also eliminate the need for doors at the top. I'm not a fire marshal but I would have to think this would be fine.

You are both correct. Tunnel under Bramlage was cost prohibitive, due to the way Bramlage was constructed. Connecting the buildings in any way would have forced millions of dollars to spent on bringing Bramlage up to current code.
What in the world would widened concourses accomplish? It is a pretty rare occasion where it takes more than 5 minutes to get out after the game due to concourse congestion.less shitty concession stands, more cool things to look at

Purple and gray cammo everywhere out of bounds.
part of the problem is our lights - which are not very bright compared to some places. Helps the doomish atmosphere, but also makes court look bit darker than it probably would be otherwise.

no idea. when we did our "tour" of the WSC it was discussed that the south board coming down would be great for the baseball stadium. maybe they planned something with two boards one for replay one for stats. it was back in august so obviously things could have changedmaybe combine all 4 bram screens together into one mega screen and put that over at the Toint.its been all but confirmed that the toint is getting one of the vb's from bsfs
or just pull it down as is and put in on that truck thing like someone brainstormed earlier

Which direction do you think "south" is?
Nice, new courts go for several hundred grand. Not sure how this one is installed, but I am guessing it is semi permanent and not like the old Ahearn courts that were easy to remove. So its not cheap, but if we had a donor want to give their :th_twocents: and put a name on it we could swing that financially. Not sure if that is the best way to spend donor money though. The court isn't torn up or anything. Just could look a bit better.
If we had enough money they should blow up Bramlage so they could expand the south stands/ concourse. Then you could make really nice athletic department building underneath or donor pimping place or something. Bramlage is really cramping the south side. The practice facility can stay (student dining center and athletic department offices are over there).
Then move games into Ahearn and renovate it. You can expand it on the west side, and the whole complex is begging for upgrades. I talked to one of the people in charge of the rec, and they wanted a new pool but didn't have the money. The city wanted to make a pool but didn't have all of the 20 mil it would cost. So basically do a major renno for Ahearn paid for with Basketball fundraising, and sell more donor suites/ pimp donors on the south endzone side to fund that part.
We wouldn't be able to do all of this for a few years due to $$$ but it is actually possible to do both financially and logistically.

One of the more dumb things I've read On this blog.
Just shine purple lights on fans not in purple. What's that, this guy thought he could come to the game in a white ISU shirt? eff him, he looks like a K-Stater now.
Couldn't they just sand/repaint/stain that thing? I mean, we don't need a brand new court.
Like, they did this at my high school one year.

What on earth?
1) the Bball court is 100% easy to remove. Think back to graduation weekend: graduation ceremonies were held in Bramlage on Sat and there was no court. On Sunday, we played a Bball game in Bramlage.
Basically, I completely disagree with every one of your opinions.
I figure we rent a few sanders from Home Depot, grab a few gallons of Minwax in an appropriate shade and we can knock this thing out in no time. We don't have a home game for a week...what's wrong with right now?Couldn't they just sand/repaint/stain that thing? I mean, we don't need a brand new court.
Like, they did this at my high school one year.
Right, I redid all the hardwoods in my house a couple years back, and that was about 2/3s the square footage of a basketball court. Didn't cost anywhere near $100k. I know it's not exactly the same - I did not paint a big powercat on the floor, but they did have to remove all the baseboards, tape off all my cabinets, etc. The guy I used did a great job if the AD is interested.
The dark stain looks awful. No stain at all would be a big improvement.
Stop talking about the color of the floor, goddammit! Nobody gives a eff what it looks like as long as there aren't tree canopies (Nike U) or goat horns (non-uglies colorado aggie) drawn all over it.
(Not yelling at you cat mission, your post was funny)
Scoreboard mos def sucks, but at the same time, as a national brand, we have to also consider what the court looks like on TV.
I've never seen any negative comments besides those from K-State fans. :dunno:

Also this is simultaneously one of the most insane AND inane things I've ever read.
1) Bramlage is boxing in BSFS on the south side= more expense in next expansion & limited options
2) I said semi permanent on the court because I am well aware they remove it for graduation or special events. But its not removed every week or so.
3) Ahearn > Bramlage. Cheaper, has better seating size for fan base (lets be real here), better atmosphere, etc.
4) Rennos at Bramlage have typically cost 1.5 to 2x as much with $ ammts adjusted to 2013 dollars
5) Ahearn offers more flexibility for seating as well as promotional events with campus location and
6) Ahearn ties into the K-State 2025 Campus Master Plan better
7) A multi million dollar (think at least 15-20 million) rennovation/ expansion of the pool will happen
8) A multi million dollar (think at least 15- 20 million) rennovation of Bramlage will be needed
9) Ahearn has to be renovated around the same time as Bramlage will be rennovated out of necessity.
Obvs won't happen, Im aware of that, but the reason isn't happening isn't because its not the best option. In the long run would save money while maximizing usage of facilities (minus Bramlage obviously). But more money could be pumped out of BSFS and AF this way than Bramlage is capable of.

With redone seating its maybe 1,000 to 1,500 seats less if done properly. Expansion would add more. I wish filling our stands was a problem. Dunno, I go to the games. Here is the other thing. How do we expand Bramlage? There isn't any room.
I guess renovations might help fill up the stands? Isn't really a proven or cost effective way to do things tho
am I the only one that likes Bramlage?
KSU is never playing a game in that old building again and I'm fine with that. Now, if you're talking tear that outdated thing down and build a new arena I might listen. But that makes about as much sense.
am I the only one that likes Bramlage?
Ahearn will never happen. To meet all required building and accessibility codes would be an outrageous expense. Its not even close to the best option financially. Bramlage is in no way boxing in BSFS. Now that we have the basketball training facility, tearing the roof off of Bramlage is actually a viable option. Take the roof off, complete overhaul of concourses, connect with BSFS expansion, add upper level, and then put on new roof structure.
Some of that work could be done during basketball season. As soon as bball is done, rip the old roof structure off and easily complete the new roof structure before the next bball season starts. Probably have 80% of new seating and amenities done as well.

Gallagher Iba was comically empty tonight to watch their #11 team play Texas. Just a fwiw.
Now that is really $$. It isnt Gallagher Iba Arena. At that point they should possibly think about a new arena. They really need to make sure that they plan out any major renovations with whoever is doing the south end otherwise it will end up like crap and not work to boot.
that "why dont you post more thread" is responsible for the last two days

Here is how you expand the (f?)OOD:
You put some hi-tech chairs in that people have to board from the top. Once the are in position, they pull a harness down over the top of their shoulders to strap themselves in. Then, they push a button and they are automatically transported via some sort of pully/conveyer system to their position directly above the floor. As they move into their final position, the seat is tilted forward at about a 60 degree angle and they get to boo from directly overhead of the two toned floor.
That would fix the eff out of the OOD.
Better idea than anything 1863 mentioned?
I like the Bram. The seating configuration is not the best, aisles are too wide, the tunnel/tarp sucks, the court needs to be refinished, and it would be nice to have more suites, but overall, it's a pretty good venue for basketball. It's loud. I don't mind the concourses - I spend very little time up there.
As for the Bram "crowding" the SEZ of BSFS, that's stupid. We're never in the life of those facilities going to add a full upper deck in the SEZ akin to what we've got on the East Side. The proximity of the buildings does, however, provide lots of interesting opportunities to connect them with a shared concourse, suites, hall of fame, etc.
It would be nice if the facilities were a bit closer to the main campus, but overall we've got a pretty good complex.

Why in the world would the new daktronics deal not also include a new board for TFS?
That video board is 18 years old
The boards in BSFS, both North and South were installed in 2005. Both were HD Ready LED Boards.
Though the videoboard atop the north end zone is among the oldest and smallest in the nation
Maybe an Octagon stat "circle" underneath the main board to keep with the theme.
Ahh yeah, this but the underside is octagonal and it says DOOM!

Will there be fog machines and lasers on it?
Damn that's an expensive board. Doesn't leave a ton to do the wifi like we need to go along with big boards. Hopefully moving a board to boozecats is in the plan since that will be like a 15k operation
hang beasley and pullen's jerseys. build a non-permanent platform for the band in the tarp area. put in miles and miles of ribbon board. sweet boxes on the alumni side.
the vertical part of the steps are going to stay white so that people don't trip.

i think it has something to do with the number "65" not sure what though.
I think we should put in a million miles of ribbon board and have them project the same airbrushed bullshit that lines the walls in the concourse. "Bounce Pass", "Triple Threat", "Zone Defense" and whatnot.

OHH crap! THIS IS REAL!

So, are the boards at the ends of the Octagon going to be able to be added onto over time? Is the plan to have ribbon boards going all the way around at some point?

I'll be interested to see what they look like, but IMO, the LED ribbon boards that go around the entire arena are a little annoying.
New lighting as well. Is the OOD going to be even less Doomy? :embarrassed:When I read that, the first thing I thought of was dimming the lights during starter introductions.

Court's been refurbished. Better imomuch less of an eyesore inside the arc. I like it!
center circle be an octagon with DOOM inside of it.
IMO.....they really, really miss out on a branding opportunity by not having the center circle be an octagon with DOOM inside of it.
A national title banner would be great. A couple of stalls with wide seat toilets would be great so fat boys legs won't go to :ksu:sleep - hate legs going numb and falling down the stairs. A large exhaust fan for removing the digested popcorn smell might help concessions sales.

Looks like that could be the old board being dismantled. If not, it looks a hell of a lot like the old one. :dunno:

yes it does. I'm assuming LED boards will be added to the corners, making it look more substantial??

The new screen will have something like 5,000 times* the number of pixels as the old screen.
*Made up statistic, but fairly accurate.
The renderings are misleading. The new overall scoreboard is more than double the size of the old one.

Why is this? Bureaucracy? Too many know-it-alls or "chiefs"?
Indecisiveness, too many chiefs, unrealistic expectations when it comes to how much something will cost, not as innovative as they think they are, choose lower price over quality of product/solution, unwilling to go outside the "norm"
K-State sometimes reminds me of my 60+ year old uncle who has never left the farm and is set in all his ways and unwilling to open his mind to new things. Schulz, Currie, and donors are slowly making it better.
lib hit it on the nose though. Extremely hard client to do business with.

So, if the President, AD, and the people who hold the money are not the problem, who is the problem?
It seems like most of the primary stakeholders that can shape a culture are on board given your statement. Who seems to be the problem?
They also change their mind much more often than other clients.
Like clams says tho, they get what they want. They also have tons of things going on all the time. About a third of my company's total business is on campus, so the steady work is a fair tradeoff for indecisiveness.

It really is. People who got sneak peeks of it kept telling me how awesome it was and I was like "yeah, I've seen pictures, it's pretty cool" but when you see it in person it's so well done. Top banner and bottom banner were really fun during player introductions, had the player being introduced's signature being scribbled while they were saying their name. Good work to all involved.
Kudos to the Ath Dept for the upgrades in Bramlage.
Sound system: a huge upgrade. The volume was still turned up, but the sound maintained quality unlike before. We had actual bass for the first time ever.
New lighting: the entire arena was lit during pregame, then they dimmed the lights on the stands so that all the light was focused on the floor. Very cool effect.
Video board: very nice! Sharp picture, cool graphics, etc. Like others said, the signatures during intro and after buckets was neat. I also liked being able to more stats than just total points and fouls.
Because I'm a K-State fan, I feel compelled to point out a few negatives.
1) it's the first game and we already have technical issues with the video board? The north board was only about 75% functional.
2) the dimmed lights for intros means that the student section is in the dark when they throw the newspaper in the air.
I also enjoyed the lights especially during the intros when they turned them out :drool::blush:
also several gE studs graced the face of the gigandotron
Also, sorry for the late comment. But a lot of LWIFIIQ in this thread a couple pages back.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY AN SELL OUT A GAME THATS NOT KU!! Why would you hang a jersey for a guy that rides the bench and the other who got kicked to China ?? :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu:
Why would Boingo be impacted by the Vanier project? Based on when the bids were let, it sounds like this thing is being K-Stated up, or it took them forever to award the bid.Because Athletics is impacted by the Vanier project. I think a lot indecision has put the wifi/DAS project in the situation it is now.
Kudos to the Ath Dept for the upgrades in Bramlage.(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi77.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj52%2FKGB2K6%2FDeal_W.gif&hash=8595272e41de2b04a8f1790a396150a1ef634b05)
Sound system: a huge upgrade. The volume was still turned up, but the sound maintained quality unlike before. We had actual bass for the first time ever.
New lighting: the entire arena was lit during pregame, then they dimmed the lights on the stands so that all the light was focused on the floor. Very cool effect.
Video board: very nice! Sharp picture, cool graphics, etc. Like others said, the signatures during intro and after buckets was neat. I also liked being able to more stats than just total points and fouls.
Because I'm a K-State fan, I feel compelled to point out a few negatives.
1) it's the first game and we already have technical issues with the video board? The north board was only about 75% functional.
2) the dimmed lights for intros means that the student section is in the dark when they throw the newspaper in the air.
Can someone point me to the MS paint picture that has the shot trajectories. I can't find it.

why on earth would you put a giant windows 95 mouse in your gradient-shaded logo with your disgusting sounding name all over your favorite school's basketball court? makes no sense to me.

Is it just me, or does the darker stained wood look much better this year? Is it the new lighting, or did they re-finish the floor when they put on the new Big 12 logos?
i think the OOD has looked great on tv the first two games. guessing it's just because of the lighting change.
not sure if they refinished the floor in the offseason. but, the entire floor (light and dark) looks lighter. I think it has something to do with the brighter lights.
either way, looks much better.
Had to replace my steering column at Briggs once. They ended up breaking my blinker and cracking my plastic dash piece in the process. They can go eff themselves. I wish they would go advertise at KU.

So now we have a rough ridin' sonic logo on the court? :curse:That's who's sponsoring the SEC/Big XII showdown. Thank God it's not permanent.

Since we don't have any basketball to talk about.
Figured I would bring up that I had lunch with someone I consider pretty ITK over the weekend, he hinted at Bramlage getting a new roof in the near future. I didn't really ask much else and maybe he's full of crap. But anyway, think they'll simply replace the roof or do something different?

This is totally ridiculous. In a good way. I'd go watch a dogshit K-State team just to sit in there.

They should paint flames and dollar signs on the roof as part of the replacement, maybe a dragon too.
I hope we never put windows in the octagon. If we ever get angry again it will be much less doomy with windows.

Base the dragon off of Siebrandt's tattoo.
It will be a dragon missing a hook shot.They should paint flames and dollar signs on the roof as part of the replacement, maybe a dragon too.

Would it be a dragon shooting a hook shot in that case?

That ole thing has been floating around since like 2010. Can't remember who made it, but could only find the post from Blackcats with it in this thread.

i agree, Luke.
