Title: If you had a billion dollars...
Post by: Havs on July 25, 2013, 02:52:59 PM
... (or two) to give to your school's athletic department, what would you want built? All these PUD stadium threads had me thinking in the other direction.


I'd want a stadium resembling Lucas Oil Stadium

OR Lambeau Field

I realize K-State just had a new renovation, but this is far more dreamy than that.

I'd spend it all on players. you could get about 100k really good players for that. enough for many years in various sports.

I'd pay for a statue like this to be on top of Vanier with a few alterations

-Bill's head
-Holding a playbook instead of a torch
-Purple statue
-Breathes fire when the Cats take the field, every time the Cats score and after Cat victories
-Neek statue behind it doing Neek things

I'd probably just pay for a statue of Neek to sit on a little conveyor belt that moves from 20 yard line to 20 yard line.  I want all future Neek wannabees to know that the BITB Neek is watching them at all times.

Also, I'd add softball and soccer (men's and women's) to the roster.  I'd pay for a bad ass joint baseball/softball complex where Tointon and the softball fields are today that looked like Camden yards.  I'd add a wing to Ahearn for a KSU sports museum.  I'd give daris a party deck at "The Bill", and that SOB would have a purple waterfall coming down off of it into a pool of purple fountains.

Bramlage would have banners and the most beautiful scoreboard you ever saw.

I'd pay Brad Stevens $8 million a year to be our basketball coach.

I'm sure there's more, but I'd start there.

1.) Build the most legit south endzone/party deck possible.  Rename it the Unruh Zone.  Fans would affectionately call it "The Ruh"
                       -"Hey bro, where are you sitting at the game"
                       -"Sitting?  I'm not gonna be sitting bro....I'm gonna be partying my balls off in The Ruh.   You're a jabroni"

2.) Build a new indoor/vanier/bowl in the NEZ.  Walking to the current indoor in 15 degree weather in February is worse than anything......ever.

3.)  Give a lot to the Poli Sci Department.  Dr./s Franke, Herspring, Stapley etc.  all studbosses

4.) Open a legit restaurant in the ville

5.) Give the rest to the university's endowment...its pretty small right now compared to other schools.

I'd make the stadium float after gametime. Alcohol and good food so you wouldn't need to leave. And giant inflatable emergency slides if the floaing technology falters. Also would buy some prime pasture a few miles away from the stadium and move all the sheep there...blow up the foundation building or float it next to the new pasture. Make an elite style club of some sort where the foundation building is and make a direct vip style subway for former/future studs and celebs to have a direct non hassle way to a turbo elevator to the new suites.

I don't think any of us really know what it would like, but when we say Vanier 2.0 on the east, I think we're all assuming it'd replace any need for a castley facade with its own castleyness?

-Buy washburn's law school and give it to kstate - making it an elite on-campus setup.
-Build a golf course where the sheep fields are now - tailgating on a g course is elite
-Build a giant moving sidewalk (airport style) from BSFS to the ville
-Make it legal to drink on campus on weekends
-Buy 1000 pizza shuttles to give away each game
-Payoff city officials to outlaw all stones besides limestone
-Found an elite BBS scholarship and suite

All this, plus fix Waters hall.
