Kansas State Football / Facility upgrades from Coloradmommacat's son

Again, my son is supplying me with info he's receiving in his office...says an announcement is forthcoming about these improvements....I'm just cutting and pasting his email so the board police can ignore any misspellings or gramatical errors because he's writing in between projects.  tongue



·         Due to fire code and ADA issues, the new basketball practice facility will be a separate building on the west side of Bramlage instead of truly integrated into the building.  It will be connected via enclosed walkways, etc., but a full connection would have triggered a full (and expensive) upgrade of Bramlage to meet all modern fire and ADA standards.

·         The existing east side upper deck will get new restrooms and concessions in a structure built off the side of the existing one.

·         A new structure will be built on the west side, replacing the existing press box and suites.  One poster strongly suggested we look closely at what has been done by VaTech at Lane Stadium.  They indicated the structure will be a major improvement, with a nice (limestone?) façade, and will include new suites, club level seating, and press areas.  It might stretch end zone to end zone, with 3 or 4 levels that will overhang the current seating bowl.

·         The existing east club level will be renovated to match the new west club level.

·         They weren’t sure if it was a serious consideration now in this phase, but there are talks to add permanent seating on the NE and NW corners of the stadium by curving the seating bowl around and over the existing grass/ landscaped areas to further enclose the stadium and further increase the noise level.  This seating would replace the existing aluminum bleachers placed on the concourse level.

·         Additional fan amenity improvements (new bathrooms, concessions) on the concourse.

·         The new football practice facility is a long term goal (possible north of Kimball Ave and connected to the Vanier Complex via skybridge), but could change with a major donor.

·         They have $45 million in state-issued bonds already, with at least an additional $12 million in private donations lined up for the projects.  Still no lead naming rights donor for the basketball practice facility though.  It wasn’t clear, but if I understood it correctly, we may be looking for more bonding authority at an upcoming regents/ state bond authority meeting.  Either that, or the meeting is to discuss the existing bond sale.

·         After being almost $2 million in the red when he took over, Currie has the athletic department in the black now.

Kansas State Football / What level of bowl game would it take?
« on: March 29, 2010, 11:14:22 AM »
After all this feel good Elite 8 hooplah, I don't think I'd be all that excited about some BS lower level bowl game. OTOH, making even a mid level bowl is unlikely. I'm not even sure making any bowl is likely.

What would it take for you to actually get excited?

Looks like I'm gonna have to visit your uglier sister, "Former home of the DoD". It sucks cuz she used to be all hot, but not so much anymore. Back in the day I didn't even hardly look at you, it was all about FHOTDOD, but then you grew up and when you grew up, you grew up in all the right places.  :lick:  But since you ain't puttin' out anymore, I'm forced to move on. Thanks for all the memories and I'll be sure to drop in occasionally so hopefully I can catch a nipple slip or something, but uhh yeah, I'll see you around.

Essentially Flyertalk / Fire breathing powercat persona - finished

I've created a Firefox persona that might fit in well here. Unfortunately, I have to  :users: and  :drink: because it hasn't been approved yet (can take 1-4 days depending), but it will be an animated version of these still shots. Feedback is welcome

Seems like a large chunk of our crowd went to OKC and saving for Indy. Don't see Zahveeay bringing a massive amount either.

Me, I'm currently 2,579,655.  :gocho:

Sorry fellas. I'm like totally back on the bandwagon. Spells bad news for us. Hate that I'm wrong so often.

Seems like it could be a scam or something. Maybe I'm being paranoid, dunno, but both me and the gf got emails saying we were "randomly selected" to buy Big 12 tourney tickets. Why so late if valid?

I already bought tickets, so if this is legit, should I buy more and scalp?

nm means no message.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Conference tourney seating
« on: February 11, 2010, 08:42:56 AM »
To all you big stuff donors: Where are school allotted seats, or is it random? Now that I live in teh KC are, and not completely broke, I'd like to see The EMAWs in the confy tourney. I see tickets for sale in the "Texas" or "Nebraska" section. I realize they don't get their own section throughout all sessions, but assuming upper level, are school allotted tickets typically on the ends, sides, or corners? Or are they as random as anything else?

Obviously Frank got his style elsewhere imho.

Me and the woman were watching the game last night, and I said "if Frank left us, I'd be more than happy to get Gillespie".

Think that the average performance at UK and the little DUI thing is hurting him? He made aTm legit.
