looks like gE jumped the gun. very disappointing. heads better roll.
I for one am pretty happy we got some kind of rendering, even if it is preliminary.

So, we have what, like 5 levels of terracing here? How many bushels of crops does that equal?

A lot of this comes down to maintenance.  Do we plan perennials, or annuals?  I mean, I want to be a good steward of the LHC Bill Snyder Family Crop Terraces, but would it be wrong of me to really want us to go with rice?  I know it requires a ton of water, but it's very pretty and good tasting.  I know it's probably not going to happen when "Big Wheat" gets a word of it, but dream big right?



Don't let the Harley guys know of these plans.  Could be dangerous.  :ohno:

Ya, final or not, it's very fun.  They are definitely not the "final" ones, however.

Yeah I started realizing how rough they were awhile.  I do like the concept overall.

Its a nice effort, but it's fake. The most obvious tipoff (unless you've seen the actual rendos) is that the seating depicted would appear to increase capacity by at least 5k. You guys really don't see that? Unless design has changed dramatically, real V2.0 is taller, not quite so wide, and closer to field (again, gtfo with what - 30 rows of seats?! :lol:)

Good news for those who aren't happy - real thing is way better. And if you liked this, well, you've got low standards but you'll also be very happy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

um…. i hated the first one, but the second one better have that much seating, it should match the south.  gtfo if it isn't symmetrical, what a joke.

I noticed the second pic has a band in the NEZ and in its usual spot. Seems kinda weird to me.

No jumping the gun.  Final rendos are in Ft Knox. Folks wanted pics, and this level of drawing is all that's available until spring game.  This is the best available to whoever sent them to gE. 

Keep in mind, these are early concept development drawings, so comments by JC may not jive with content these drawings.  Plus, there are some inconsistencies between the two.  No biggie...just part of the process.

Ok Kim Carnes will not be happy. I think most people will be ecstatic.

That front entry will be sweet. 
Looks to be a large atrium with a sawtooth glass roof?  That will give the complex a grand entrance feel when you walk in.
Maybe a marble floor with a giant powercat?  Grand stair?  fountains?

I am picturing this for the lobby



That photo is at least 100 powercats short of what we will have.
