What I've heard:
KU has looked at Washington and Minnesota's recent stadium projects and is preparing to do something similar with Memorial. The new stadium will include a tunnel system connecting the hill and the football complex, with a party porch and/or a walkway just above it. They are possibly looking to build an indoor practice facility onto the new stadium as well. I would expect them to tear down the entire east side and build a new facade, similar to what K-State did with the WSC.
Like the rest of you, I can't wait to finally see the renderings.

the bizarre thing is really that football complex and how little thought seems to have gone into planning it. it was like well we gotta build something so maybe we just plop it down over here. yeah, don't care where the entry or exit are or colors you use on it. just build something over in that area. i never knew how bizarre it really looked.The red parts of the roof are especially strange. They probably should have just made the outside edge of the roof all red so that it would match the football field in aerial photography.

A lot of thought went into planning it and making sure it didn't obstruct the view of the stadium from the hill. The color is a little off compared to the rest of the stadium, but Memorial's facade is probably going to change pretty soon anyways. The inside of the complex is incredible and the view from Weis' office opens up right onto the field. It's a really nice facility, imo.

Retractable for nice weather days.They are possibly looking to build an indoor practice facility onto the new stadium as well
holy crap, on the new stadium?
like, on top of it?
:horrorsurprise:
also, they apparently purposefully made it not match in any way. so look at that complex and i guess you have a good idea of what the new stadium will look like. red and yellow. also, those halls are so far away i mean what in the world? it would be like matching vanier to edwards hall.
Stone used in the construction is meant to match that of Strong, Bailey and Dyche halls.In short, the complex looks nothing like Memorial Stadium's facade."That was on purpose. We didn't want to match that," Corman said.
Dennis Domer, associate dean emeritus of Kansas University's architecture department and an outspoken opponent of the construction of the Oread Hotel, said the complex is better than he expected."Just from driving by and looking at it, you know, it's not a great building, but it has some attractive qualities there that I would have to look at more carefully," he said.

1)tell me more about the tunnel thing. i don't understand but it sounds cool.
2)the inside of it does sound and look pretty good. but the outside and the angle and the colors from top to bottom along w/ clipart guy are just so bad. just so, so bad. is there a chance they'll explode it like we are doing w/ the vanier complex that we just redid but also didn't do it very well or is ku stuck w/ it?
3)does ku practice on the field or the practice fields? both?

Quick question: when does K-State plan on getting rid of the Harley track and those dumpy looking stands?Sometime before KU gets rid of its garbage track and overall garbage stadium. We're only doing a 50+ million renovation on that, as announced like a month or two ago and leaked like 6ish? months ago.

If they decide to demolish Memorial Stadium and start over they can just name the new complex Phog Allen Field at Dr. James Naismith Stadium. Heck! They could name the Press Box after Bill Self or Roy Williams. He was a dad gum good ball coach, right?

Idea 2: Not on the entirety of the hill, but on part of the hill, plant some wheat. Even if its just like a 60X60 plot, do it. Imagine the shots on TV of the students waving the wheat, then shots of the wheat waving the wheat, then the students waving the wheat, etc. I mean, if you wave the wheat, lets wave the wheat.

Um, do u have any idea why wheat is always planted on a flat field instead of a step-terrace or hillside (knock, for u Scots) dummy ?
Cuz I don't. Anyway, sounds like a great idea. The team could simply appear from the fields of gold rather than running through a tunnel.
also, uw's stadium isn't very impressive. unless you're into Transformers.I thought I was the only one that doesn't like it. It really isn't all that great...the setting otoh :love:
idea in my mind's eye. build a hill directly opposite from the main hill (Hill A). put football field in between both hills. put bleachers on hills, make the bleachers out of wheat. on top of new hill (Hill B), build campanile exactly like the one on Hill A except make this one colored red and blue. run a cable between campanile A and campanile B. on cable b/w campaniles, mount different jayhawk piñatas filled with various jayhawk paraphernalia. during halftime, Jay and Baby Jay can use their air powered hot dog cannons to try and break jayhawk piñatas. if one breaks, fans under that section receive free jayhawk paraphernalia.
bones129, i bet populous will provide renderings at the KU spring game which prove my idea is much more than just a concept in my mind's eye. pastries for thought.
1. Imagine if Minnesota's stadium was relocated to KU, and they created a tunnel system connecting the semi-open end to the hill/football complex:
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.sportngin.com%2Fattachments%2Fphoto%2F1047%2F7149%2FTCF_From_Above_medium.jpg&hash=d2f50a1151bd10362ae08485a3c5566b18ebfea3)
2. The angle of the football complex is designed specifically so that it doesn't obstruct the view of the stadium and the walk from the Campanile during graduation. KU alums were involved and did not want to imitate K-State's lifeless stadium with something like Vanier. A large portion of KU's complex is underground and built into the side of the hill, which maximizes space. The clip art is stupid and the color of the facade is off, so I hope they fix those two things. The angle is not a concern, though.
3. Both. Weis has hinted that they might build an indoor practice facility next to the upgraded stadium as well.

I think KU should do something like this:

and this inside the stadium:

Need to get past the setting. I keep picturing the brainstorming starting with 2 requirements.
1. We can`t block "the setting"
2. Graduation requires students to walk down the hill and into the stadium.
Seriously guys, just like bama in football, "can`t eff with tradition"

ku might have a nice setting, but the stadium itself is as lifeless as they come, with the only component rendering any measure of aesthetic appeal being the outside walls of the endzone.
The pressbox is the architectural equivalent of placing a large Nazi Normandy coast gun emplacement on top of two above ground replicas of an Atlas ICBM silo. The East side of the stadium looks like an above ground skeletal replica of a fall out shelter circa 1955.
While it's understood that the football building wanted to avoid blocking views of the hill, it's overall aesthetic value is akin to a pre-cast building that you can find populating office parks in suburbia all across the country. Dull, lifeless and uninspiring on every conceivable level.

ok, so i guess it was built nine years ago. no way that thing stays up when they do the overhall.

well you appear to be correct and now i'm more confused than ever. when did they build the new one and why did they build it in a way that blocks the view of the hill and vice/versa? beems? this has to come down when they redo things in a year or two, right? how old is it?

Maybe KU should just build a new stadium around the hill. That way everyone at the game gets to see the hill the entire time. And just imagine the home field advantage a football field on a hill would provide. Charlie would probably need to get the Rascal out of the closet for the postgame handshake, though.

oh i'm sure they'll get to it right after the new track and field thing and the new basketball apartment thing and the 18 million dollar basketball building to put the basketball rules in thing. i mean who needs to put money into fball? it's not like the stadium bathrooms have an actual real life sewage issue or they have a 3-40 conference football record over the last half a decade.

Holy crap
KU could hire this guy for $20/hr to play during FB games and they would set attendance recordsThey could get these guys for basketball, and still preserve their nose in the air attitude towards court rushing

I can't wait until our renderings are released. Zenger shrewdly waited until after you finalized all your plans so that he could build something just slightly better. The man is a genius. As for the funds, well, ha ha, I wouldn't worry about that: www.kuendowment.org

You know this this was going downhill fast, until Mr. Phog Sock came around with these amazing one-liners. :love: :ROFL:
There are two years left on the latest $1.2B KU Endowment Far Above campaign. I have heard they have raised almost $1B of that amount. KU Athletics and KU Endowment will work together, so I would expect the timing of the football renovation will coordinate with Rock Chalk Park finishing up, the Far Above closing out, or perhaps be the last big hurrah! of the campaign.

yeah there is and our discussion of it is probably the most popular thread on the entire site. i thought it would be fun to look at ku's stadium as well and then everybody gets to say what they would do if they were in charge or guess what ku is going to do. i mean that sounds/sounded like something worthwhile. like, there are only so many cool ranch vs regular doritos discussions i can have in a given week.

This all seems very subjective. I'd be curious what your reasoning was? I'll admit that KSU graduation is underwhelming in comparison to KU's. My older sister graduated there and after seeing the march down the hill into Memorial I was very excited about what KSU graduation would be like. In case you are unaware, KSU graduation is so that professors can congratulate each other and it is just awful. Beyond that. . I can't see anything that is hands down "better" in everyone's opinion.

As for KU football, yeah, it's been a tough few years. It sucks when your team loses and when your program falls off a map just a few years after winning a BCS Bowl and going 12-1. It sucks losing to your in-state rival when your alma mater went 4-1 against them during your time in school. But you know what? I wouldn't trade being a KU fan for anything. The tough times just make the good times that much better, and I appreciate what we have in hoops that much more.
LOL. he's defending phog.net.did she say no? We are here for you beems
The phog has multiple game threads, 'Pad. This site has had system maintenance before as well. It's okay to just admit that you hate KU more than you love K-State.

You can only repress a good meltdown for so long, I guess. I didn't even see that one coming honestly. It just seems like most of the people on this board would rather hate on KU than say something good about K-State. There was a time when fans like Dax were the exception to the rule, but now it just seems like K-State fans hate the crap out of KU like never before. The "eff KU" chant from the student section and the constant circle jerk to KU's horrendous football program are just two examples of this recent phenomenon. Social media brings out the worst in people, and this board is no exception.

Our board is the best in the biz.
There are two years left on the latest $1.2B KU Endowment Far Above campaign. I have heard they have raised almost $1B of that amount. KU Athletics and KU Endowment will work together, so I would expect the timing of the football renovation will coordinate with Rock Chalk Park finishing up, the Far Above closing out, or perhaps be the last big hurrah! of the campaign.
Oh the things I wish I was allowed to tell you about RCP. If KU can't afford to pay for that facility what makes you think they'll be able to afford a decent football renovation?
Did you read my post? KU has $1.2B raised to spend.
Yeah because that's how endowments work, also there's no way this is a sock

I think I know a little bit more about endowments than you do. I got my degree in Endowments from Baker. From what I am hearing, KU is planning a massive overhaul of the stadium. It will put your rinky dink hole in the ground to shame when it's done.

so i hear people say lower the field but then i've also heard people say it's not feasible. thoughts?
what would the benefit of lowering the field be in the first place because i'm struggling to grasp why people even talk about it? are they thinking just keep everything else the same and then add like seven more rows all the way around the shoe on the inside of the stadium? because that sounds like just a horrible idea.the field is very far away from the stadium in the end zones, you are talking a hell of a lot more than 7 rows
track removal is expensive stuff. i always assumed ku fans were kidding about taking out the track. i don't think they realize what they've gotten themselves into.

okay that makes sense, I wish we had the kind of room they do to work with. We are running out of roomAlso how is beems always bragging about their football training building? That thing is tiny and our new cafeteria dwarfs it
a lot of it is underground i think and the inside actually looks pretty nice. the building itself is pretty horrific looking, but on the inside it's serviceable.

yeah i mean texas state did it which if KU wants to elevate their football program's status to their level then by all means it'll be good for everyone but if they can't afford it then maybe gE should set up a collection fund ya know?

They should tear everything up, shove the field up against the north(?) bleachers and redo the south/hill
That press box is the worst in America. It's gotta go.

I'm sure it's convenient for the emergency vehicle to have its own paved highway, but it looks terrible to the objective viewer. Maybe they could dig a deeper hole and fill it in with more seats?

ku was 5 years behind K-State on building suites, and now approaching 20 years behind on Club Level seating. K-State has twice as many suites, 3x's as many club levels and twice as many stadium clubs.

It really concerns about how obsessed ku fans are in regards to the distance of our stands to the field on our sidelines. They constantly reference how they want there's to be closer, it's like they're going to go from DeathTrack1946 to something you might see in a futuristic movie where gladiators die on the field of play for viewer/spectator pleasure. Sad and scary.
Also in our endzones, I really wish there was a little more room, I mean, not like having a full fledged high jump area/8 lane running track kind of room, but more room.

Why didn't they keep the current stadium as the track place and build a football stadium where the track thing is being built (has been built?)?well money obviously, and who would want to drive to the middle of the country to watch a d1 football game?

BMW, listen to me. Obsessing about how your college sports team is perceived nationally is a really, really stupid thing to obsess about. Who cares what other people think about them? You like them, you think they're great, and better than KSU. You have fun watching them play and following the team and going to games. You seem to have a lot going for you; good job, healthy, sexed probably over one hundred babes by now. Stop letting perceived slights of KU from various anonymous internet posters stress you out. Just decide to stop.
Also, except for the track and the exterior I think KU's football stadium is fine. Oh and those temporary end zone seats.

I posted stuff I was actually pretty serious about. Can you find what I posted and at least give me some feedback bro?me too! I enjoy these discussions and try not to flame/troll
yeah. that side they have with the current pressbox is serviceable. you absolutely keep that and all the stands down to the goal line on that side, i think. the rest through? i'd demo and then move the west side closer to the east and tighten up the bowl. the whole lowering the field thing sounds stupid though or maybe i just don't get it.
I think taking some elements of the TCU build would be the dream scenario and could be done for anywhere from $100-$200 million depending upon what KU is willing to sacrifice.
Phase 1: Trash the East end and build something like the KSU East end and the TCU (west?) end with a better facade. If they are really worried about holding down the cost, they could maybe keep the lower level, build up a facade and boxes behind it. The goal is not to go with a full double deck. Est. Price tag- $40-80MM depending upon the removal of the lower level.

Phase 2: This is where the TCU thing comes in to play. Call this thing the HAWK'S NEST. You build suites all along the North End using the Oread stone theme. Square out the horseshoe and build 2-3 party decks that have seating on the stadium side and large out door party decks on the back. "The Hill" stays open and you get a baller elite only building right there facing the tailgating mecca of the sidestreets. Don't mess with trying to link it the football facility, they are separate facilities and you just keep the current football only stuff where it is and focus on fan experience. Trying to re-locate all of the student-athlete stuff is going to kill your budget, you just spent cash on the football only and the all-athlete thing. Save your money and do this thing right.

Basically this ends up being the view from the hill. Mas o menos.
Phase 3: West Side. Here is where the mas o menos comes in to play. Do you want to complete the entire rebuild? By this time the momentum of the baller NEZ suites might have helped roll into a complete demo. But that is a LOT of stuff to move. If it were me, I would suck it up and muddle through with the weird West side, build the band a little platform or something to put them right on top of the visitors or make that the KU end and figure out something else to do with the extra space and have the visitors feeling claustrophobic against the tight sideline.
Est Price tag: $0-$90MM
Conclusion:
Phase 1 & 2 Est cost- $100-180MM
Personally I would rather have the baller NEZ that connects to all the tailgate areas and make it just an enormous party with places for young alums and high rollers both and throw up some facade bandaids on the rest to keep the project on budget. If it is all about the hill, make it all about the hill. Build the NEZ in to one of the best suite/party palaces in the country with the setting behind it. Muddle through the E/W stuff until you can raise the $150-250MM more it would take to do it right.
Beems argument about our pressbox is valid, if it was done in 2010.
calling a hill a mountain?
Why didn't they keep the current stadium as the track place and build a football stadium where the track thing is being built (has been built?)?
Because they would have to build a hill for all the poors to watch for free.

Phase 1 - Agreed. The horrendous, future-giants-playing-connect-four east side has got to go. This and removing the track will be the first priority. I'd imagine that they will use a similar approach to what Washington did with their stadium. KU may even have to play a season at Arrowhead in order to accomplish this.
Price tag - $85 million
Phase 2 - Here's a picture of the stadium, looking at the south side (the hill):
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjaehak.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F02%2Fmemorial-stadium.jpg&hash=4f982768930dc14a5a89f805d408406f1298367a)
The rumor is that KU will look to build a "party porch" on the south side. I'd imagine they'll put in some type of luxury seating there as well, with a tunnel system connecting the football complex and the hill. This might be feasible within an off-season, and I don't see it costing that much if they keep the seating minimal.
Price tag - $15-25 million
Phase 3 - Unless they tear down the entire stadium, I'm not sure they will do much to the West side. There's so many other needs right now that this phase is pretty far down the road (probably mid 2020's at the earliest). They may just leave the current pressbox alone and build an additional structure onto the North end bowl, and potentially tear down some housing and redevelop the entire area.
edit - I just realized that my last sentence was basically what you proposed for the "NEZ" in your phase 2. I really like that idea and hope it's something that Zenger is potentially looking to do.

yeah i mean texas state did it which if KU wants to elevate their football program's status to their level then by all means it'll be good for everyone but if they can't afford it then maybe gE should set up a collection fund ya know?

Enough with the big brother/little brother talk already! You guys can't even get it right. Instead you let some beak toting hipster tell you how it is. Come on EMAW nation! Have we no spine? Or do we just need a quick history refresher? Kansas State Agricultural College est. 1863 (or 1857 if you count Bluemont College as it's predecessor), Kansas University 1865. That would make K-State the big bro and KU the little bro, regardless of undergrad enrollment and endowment. My case? I am 5'11" 170 lbs. My younger brother is 6'5" 240 lbs. He is and will always be my little bro. Get it?.....

That would make K-State the big bro and KU the little bro, regardless of undergrad enrollment and endowment. My case? I am 5'11" 170 lbs. My younger brother is 6'5" 240 lbs. He is and will always be my little bro. Get it?.....
Memorial Stadium sucks and there is nothing KU can do to salvage that program. EMAW!

Why didn't they keep the current stadium as the track place and build a football stadium where the track thing is being built (has been built?)?well money obviously, and who would want to drive to the middle of the country to watch a d1 football game?

Can't wait to see their rendos now that bball season is over.
And it's going to crush me. :frown:Can't wait to see their rendos now that bball season is over.
They are going to release probably the day after we release Vanier 2.0 so it can be 20 times better and that kind of technical stuff.

Any update on the quality/quantity of clip art?
K-State's improvements are lipstick on a pig, but our stadium is so awesome that people want to tear it all down and start over . . . phognetOSU's stadium was a pig once upon a time. But yeah, we're just throwing our money away for nothing.

They are out of ammo. Every time they say anything we announce another $50 million in improvements. They are afraid of an athletic dept arms race they will lose.

No one is going to confuse Hoax with someone who is smart. K-State just updated its entire master plan.
Nearly $350 million dollars in new construction completed in the last 4 years. Another $225 million about to commence in the next 12 months, another $150 million plus in the fundraising stage. That doesn't include the nearly $1 billion that will be spent on NBAF.
The Anderson Football Center is a newer, slightly larger version of Vanier. Vanier 2.0 will dwarf the AFC.
The KU Endowment is an actual thing. So it is capitalized. Your smaller Endowment is also an actual thing, so it is also capitalized. It can also be used in part to fund athletic facilities, but usually is not. I did not say it would be, but Memorial is highlighted as a near term project on the master plan.
My point is that you focus all of your school's energy on raising funds to add to the only building on campus anyone in world would cares anything about. If anyone proposed a campus-wide master plan at K-state like the one at KU, everyone would laugh. So you will have a nice stadium soon and in the future. We will have an even more amazing campus and a new stadium soon (relatively) and in the future. K-State couldn't expand or improve its campus the way KU intends because K-State has about 1/5 the $$$. If you funneled the football donations to your Endownment, it might move from 1/5 the size of KU's to 3/10 the size.
Take a lap.

The most laughable part is that Hoax thinks that ku is going to be allowed to borrow against it's full endowment, or that somehow that endowment could be capitalized. If that happens, no one is likely to ever establish a permanent endowment at ku ever again. Good luck going to the the estates/trusts/families/individuals who have established permanent endowments for specific purposes (some of whom are K-State alumni) at ku and explaining that capitalization.Half their board thinks they can use the endowment like a piggy bank.

This is gold.....absolute gold.
Memorial needs a complete overhaul. I'm confident a massive project will be competed within the next 5 years making it far more attractive than KSU's facilities.Confidence rising!

He's a decent sock. He's actually someone who should be enjoyed whilst perusing there. Also, nobody laughed at my inter-thread remark about small endowments :shakesfist:.

Re: K-State Announce $50M upgrade to stadium
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If harley tracks and parking lots are your thing, K-State is the place to be.
The best tailgating locations in the NFL have a lot of asphalt. I've never viewed parking space as a negative.When you're running out of talking points, you get desperate. Kinda like this pic of a dude farm humping a sheep. http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=172&f=2485&t=12772883&p=3
I kind of enjoyed the tailgating experience at Auburn. If K-State would let people tailgate all over campus like that, I think I'd prefer an on-campus location without much parking. What we have is great, too, though.

I'm sure the campus thing has something to do with it. I loved my experience there, but I couldn't put up with that every week.

Me neither. Ben clinging to that talking point is just beyond dumb.

It's cool in the fact that you could drink beer in front of the business hall but it was a pain in the ass to find other groups seeing as they were spread all over the campus. I like our more condensed setting. "Hey, where are you?", you answer East lot, West lot, or Ag fields. Nice and simple.
Still makes me laugh...What's funny to me is that I was totally jealous when it looked like they were gonna do that and now after the west side we did, I realize what a crap pile the gridiron club would have been.

The squawks stadium is a rough ridin' joke, just like their football program!
Is the Gridiron club the funniest thing about ku? It sucked to begin with, and they still couldn't afford it.
