Good ideas guys, but I just meant that bond and financial crap was starting to get more figured out.
Umm, maybe it will be in anderson hall too though. :dunno:
Not much, title IX compliant practice facility with men's and women's locker rooms. What I saw said the cash would go toward the restrooms on the upper eastside of the Bill along with the facility. I think we already knew that though. Still looked like the 20 mil we've always heard. Didn't see a timeframeGood ideas guys, but I just meant that bond and financial crap was starting to get more figured out.

Our Alco is def going to look better than ISU's. Sorry Havs.
Here's what we can do/should expect for about 20 million dollars. I've been in Virgina Tech's and the pictures don't even do it justice, it's incredible.I love what you're saying, but what's the cost of the bathrooms at the Bill gonna be? This won't be straight 20 mil for the practice facility. Plumbing and stuff will surely be a lot way up in the air like that. I have absolutely no idea how much to subtract from the total for that. But ya, I want nice things!! :ksu:

If we are REALLY spending 20 million with todays prices we should expect nothing less. No half-ass Bramlage type deals. Let's do this one right K-State.
Maybe some fracking limestone in BSFS while we're at it?

i realize that, just fighting the k-state fan perspective that we can't have nice things. anywhere in the 20 mill range can build an elite level facility.

Just had a thought. Can we paint the Octagon's concourse floor purple, or anything but concrete color? Seems like that would go a long way in making the concourse look less like a crap hole. Surely if we're so far over budget on this we can chuck some money at that as wellShould acid stain it.
Are those screen shots from the Sim's Iowa state edition?
The original ISU plan was to build a facility on to Hilton.is the current plan to build ours onto bramlage?
It was until the whole Octagon thing took off and they realized modifying Bramlage to add the facility building would shazbot! that all up. I think they'll still be connected via tunnel/bridge or something but not to where we lose the Octagon shape.
The initial modified Bramlage would've been a lot better. Way to go, _FAN.

p.s.
when I say EXPECT I mean it. everyone on here has contributed financially to k-state in some way, be it tuition, tickets, merchandise, etc. Some on here might donate, or plan on it at some point. Make your voice heard, it's your right. I worked in the athletic department and you'd probably be amazed how much work they put into determining the general fan bases opinion and factoring it into decisions. Your leaders duty is to work for you, your duty is to hold your leaders accountable.
Renderings of Original Plan, and plan likely to take place in 10-20 years once Hilton is renovated.

Jesus, you totally solved this issue. If only we had anyone who had completed micro and macro around when they were designing and building the OOD.
Do the plans include one or two courts? Also, why isn't it being connected to Bramlage? Because of issues with code?Someone said earlier in the thread that since the Octagon caught on, they didn't want to eff with that. Could have been BSing instead of proper BBSing though.
Pretty sure that was BS-ing. It would be pretty ridiculous if they decided to forgo something that would make the facility better just because of a shortlived nickname.Yea

Some of the best moments of my life were in corn cribs. This only excites me more about the future of Iowa State Basketball!!
However, last I checked, a finished and usable monstrosity of a practice facility (your opinion, not mine) is a lot more usable than a couple blueprints of a future building sitting in Anderson Hall. The Iowa State basketball programs each have an entire gym (with state of the art training, video, and weight facilities) to each team specifically for them and them only. Last I checked, KSU just had blueprints.
Not to mention that even if none of this were true, it would be NUTS, as I'm sure even _fan would agree, to make a decision like this based on a one year old nickname, no matter how great it is.

The fact of the matter is that if there was a cool-sounding "-gon" name for the ridiculous shape Bramlage would've been w/the original proposed addition, we'd be looking at the $20 million blueprints right now. Oh well. Now we'll have our pretty good $16 million detached facility right next to and connecting walkway to the OCTAGON.

The facility will not be connected to Bramlage, but it has nothing to do with the OOD name. Connecting the new building would mean that Bramlage would have to be brought up to code, a multimillion dollar project in itself. Leaving them as two seperate structures rather than one big one allows us to get major bang for the bucks in the new facility, rather than spending it on hidden code-related things that most people don't notice...

Basketball practice facilities are NOT about PRACTICING in them. They are about recruiting. Showing a recruit sweet ass blueprints and drawings that will be realized within another year-and-a-half are a helluva lot more compelling than an existing monstrosity (my opinion, and soon to be yours).
Construction documents are what the phase of the design that the contractors will build from.
The designer will start with conceptual documents and, after fine tuning macro items with customer, will eventually build a code/permit set. This one gets through the city review. Construction doc's will be what the superintendent and trade formen have in their hands as they dig holes, erect steel, set the wood floor, and etc.
Benja is right. the fact that this is in the construction doc's phase def means that this is happening pretty soon.

Leaving them as two seperate structures rather than one big one allows us to get major bang for the bucks in the new facility, rather than spending it on hidden code-related things that most people don't notice...
So havs... They put a new practice facility there and that tilt-up monstrocity you posted a while back converts to a corn crib? Man, those 'clones can SURE raise money!
Some of the best moments of my life were in corn cribs. This only excites me more about the future of Iowa State Basketball!!
However, last I checked, a finished and usable monstrosity of a practice facility (your opinion, not mine) is a lot more usable than a couple blueprints of a future building sitting in Anderson Hall. The Iowa State basketball programs each have an entire gym (with state of the art training, video, and weight facilities) to each team specifically for them and them only. Last I checked, KSU just had blueprints.
Basketball practice facilities are NOT about PRACTICING in them. They are about recruiting. Showing a recruit sweet ass blueprints and drawings that will be realized within another year-and-a-half are a helluva lot more compelling than an existing monstrosity (my opinion, and soon to be yours).
Do you think a basketball recruit cares what color the building is? or whether its brick or stone? Looks and appearance on the exterior are honestly in the eyes of the beholder. Everything inside that building is state-of-the-art to the extreme. Training tables, weight room, film equipment, theatre, recreation facilities for players, coaches offices, all in one. I find it really really humorous that a lot of you are saying recruits hate our facility, when most have said it was a big reason they chose Iowa State. E.G.: Incoming Freshman Eric McKnight chose Iowa State over Indiana because he could live close to a practice facility he had 24 hour access to. Recruiting hasn't exactly been a problem at Iowa State, our basketball facilities are some of the best in the Big 12. The problem was coaching and leading with Coach Mac. A lot of you hate that we have a working facility while yours is still a blueprint and an idea.
Not to mention that even if none of this were true, it would be NUTS, as I'm sure even _fan would agree, to make a decision like this based on a one year old nickname, no matter how great it is.
The fact of the matter is that if there was a cool-sounding "-gon" name for the ridiculous shape Bramlage would've been w/the original proposed addition, we'd be looking at the $20 million blueprints right now. Oh well. Now we'll have our pretty good $16 million detached facility right next to and connecting walkway to the OCTAGON.

I had no f'n idea that I sounded even the slightest bit convincing about the 'gon thing. :surprised:

I didn't notice any bays for tractor warming in those pictures, kinda confused by that.
Also, WTF needs to be done to the OOD to "bring it to code?". It's not like it's some super old and outdated fieldhouse...

The real costs are bringing the building up to modern ADA compliance standards. We'd spend over a million on this alone.

It is, but ADA compliant to past standards in place at the time of construction. ADA compliance standards evolve over time and in the event of a substantial building modification, we would be obligated to bring the entire building up to the current code standards in in line with the local jurisdiction.
p.s.
when I say EXPECT I mean it. everyone on here has contributed financially to k-state in some way, be it tuition, tickets, merchandise, etc. Some on here might donate, or plan on it at some point. Make your voice heard, it's your right. I worked in the athletic department and you'd probably be amazed how much work they put into determining the general fan bases opinion and factoring it into decisions. Your leaders duty is to work for you, your duty is to hold your leaders accountable.
This. Yes.

I know I'm late to this party, but the fact that our athletic department places value on our fan base's general opinion is scary, and telling.
It's how you end up with things like the FB schedule poster. What does our fanbase generally like? Harleys, fireworks, and splattered paint.
So we're going to have a practice facility full of army guys and splattered paint with giant schedule posters all over the walls??

good lord. haverhill is as bad as it gets. you must be some sort of iowa state fair blue ribbon winning Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
FYI the Rec expansion had a max cap of $18.8 million and the lowest/accepted bid came in at $15.9 million. The majority of the bids came in under. Great time for construction.

Kansas Development Finance Authority
Notice of Hearing
A public hearing will be conducted at 9 a.m. Thursday,
September 2, in the conference room of the Kansas Development
Finance Authority, 555 S. Kansas Ave., Suite

Educational Facility Private Activity Revenue Bonds on
behalf of K-State Athletics, Inc., a Kansas 501(c)(3) notfor-
profit corporation (the corporation), in the principal
amount of not to exceed $45 million, plus amounts sufficient
to pay all costs of bond issuance, costs of interest
on the bonds, any required reserves for payments of principal
and interest on the bonds. The bonds will be issued,
pursuant to K.S.A. 74-8901 et seq. (the act), to finance the
costs of improvements to be made to Bramlage Coliseum

the KDFA, payable from revenues pledged by the corporation,
and will not constitute a general obligation or
indebtedness of the state of Kansas, the city of Manhattan,
Kansas, or any political subdivision thereof, nor will the
bonds constitute an indebtedness for which the faith and
credit and taxing powers of the state of Kansas are
pledged. The bonds will be payable solely from revenues
pledged by the corporation in amounts sufficient to pay
the principal of, interest and redemption premium, if any,
on the bonds when they become due.
All individuals who appear at the hearing will be given
an opportunity to express their views for or against the
proposal, and all written comments previously filed with
the KDFA at its offices at 555 S. Kansas Ave., Suite 202,

The Practice Facility or lack thereof was a reason why Hugs left, Frank wants it, and if you want to live out your man crush wet dream of ever getting a JayWrightPostner type at K-State we'll need to have one.
A new practice facility as envisioned only ratchets up the pressure and eliminates excuses . . . embrace it.

Huggins built his own mental case to justify his living K-State beyond the primary factor of it being West Virginia calling.
1. Weiser's kiss the ring attitude . . . aka I saved your career.
2. No proactive action on pay raise and contract extension
3. Slow progress on practice facility

how many million just for the basketball facility? how many courts? is it going to be shared by wbb as well? clip art? will frank love us more after it's completed? everything SD said as well.
one court for MBB? WTF is this, bitty ball? :flush:
one court for MBB? WTF is this, bitty ball? :flush:
Its an oversized practice area. You could run 3 or 4 full courts at the same time.
Two courts, one for mbb and one for wbb. No clip art. Def not half-assed, should be one of the best basketball only complexes anywhere. Can't post a photo of renderings yet, sorry. But trust me, it looks sweet. Lots of limestone and glass on the ext. Dollar figures depends on the bid. The number presented to KBOR includes improvements to BSFS, but the Training Facility will be fairly large $$
When could this realistically be completed? How long does it take to build a facility like this once they actually break ground? A year? More? Less? I have no clue. :confused:

Distorting the facts as usual, 'Pad. The new basketball facility is located between AFH and the Anderson Family Strength Center, and is over a court and a half in size. Also, I never said it was the absolute best in the country, just one of the best. Here are some photos of it:

Probably THE best raquetball court in the country though.

Racquetball Court >>>>> Wheat Field
When could this realistically be completed? How long does it take to build a facility like this once they actually break ground? A year? More? Less? I have no clue. :confused:
About a year and a half.

Where are they planning on building?
KSU raquetball courts are both plentiful and elite
It took KU less than a year to build one of the best basketball facilities in the country.
One of the best in the country, he says. :lol:
I'm sure there's an article somewhere on the internet that he can find that confirms his statement.
ku's racquetball facility isn't horrible or anything. Just could be a lot nicer if they had spent some more money or hired someone better to do it. It'll do, I guess.
But when are they breaking ground on the Gridiron club?

I can't insert "when are you breaking ground on Bball practice facility?" anymore. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:
I guess I can, nothing is set in stone yet...
So...
Hey, KSU... When are you breaking ground on your new basketball practice facility??? :excited:
Don't worry, guys... you might have a new practice facility by the time Greensburg is fully rebuilt.
:lol:

1.5 is the new 1

Damn inflation. Is 0 courts still 0 courts?

-1 IS still -1 as well.
I know it's been discussed, but did anyone come to a conclusion why having a practice court is such a huge issue other than the "everybody else has one" complaint?
Here are some things that are more important.
Replacing our shitty floor (Tex Winterized)
Let Scott build the best weight room in the country (might be done with the new facility :dunno:)
Improving our boring concourse
HD screens
Paying recruits
Painting DOOM on the helipad we put on the top of the Bram that we use to fly the recruits we are paying.
Take out the tarp and put in a new tarp with a picture of Frank screaming
Are these practice facilities also underwater? Is mold inhalation conducive to The Mayor's style of play? Are there term limits for being a mayor in Iowa? Are you guys even going to field a team this year? Will ISU have to pull a Necessary Roughness and hold open try-outs to fill out their roster? Who originally thought that a skunk would be a good eponym for a creek? When your corn/pig god gets mad, does he smote people, pigs, or corn?
It took KU less than a year to build one of the best basketball facilities in the country. K-State is still waiting for a pig farmer in western Kansas to win the lottery.
I thought someone finally posted renderings. Nothing disappoints me more than expecting to see renderings only to find out that I will not be seeing renderings.
Yeah, all this having to use your imagination and amounts of money is pretty useless to me. What's a big wall of limestone with a practice facility in it cost? A million? A billion? Who knows. I'm not a limestone wall with a practice place and tvs and a waterfall and junk cost specialist.
So are you guys expecting construction to start before the world ends in 2012, or what?
:confused:

And our arena is not under water, therefore our players are practicing on the court they'll play over half their games on.

what i have learned from haverhill?
having a stupid ass looking practice facility will get you a suck ass team that has really nice courts to practice finishing in the bottom of the big 12, but hey apparently the chicks like it, hooray chick ball! hey haverhill remember that time your team didn't suck, yeah me neither, but it was a great 10 year run or so you guys had. enjoy being last in the big 12 next year!

You know who was, like, the crap back in the day? Marcus Fizer. Oh man.
Crazy factoid: I was at that game back in the mid-90's when Fizer and the rest of 'Clones beat KU in Allen for like the first time since the french revolution or whatever and they celebrated all over the court right in ku's goddamn faces.... OMG dude, you shoulda been there

Scratch that, I was 4. His senior night was March of 1995 and my 5th bday was Sept of 95. Barely, barely remember it. I remember Larry's temper... that was awesome.
Havs, do you remember when Jamaal Tinsley shaved points?
