He's on cloud nine right now. He knows what he's building.

Tell ya what kids but I'm a little jealous that our lil' brother has been making all these improvements and additions to their football stadium and we sit on our hands and we can't even apply a new coat of paint to ours...besides the video/scoreboard it pretty much looks the same as when I was going to school in the early 80's.

Watch out! Farm joke incoming!

Will the next upgrade include enhancing the sheep pen parking?

Actually it's really nice.  They've taken a freakin terrible stadium and made it as good as it can possibly be.

we sure as $h!t aren't raising funds at the rate we thought.

 

K-State is positioning themselves for the future. So is KU. The difference is winning--makes it a lot easier to buy in.

Guys, winning helps according to this poster.

They =  Are doing renovations to seating space & improving video board.  We = Have great seating space & an amazing video board/screen.  Difference = They don't have a track to remove.

They have great seating space, whatever that means. Only difference in the two programs right now is a track! Not too bad!

We may not be sitting on our hands but there is a reason our stadium is maybe the worst BCS stadium in the country and KSU's is pretty good.

This is getting embarrassing.  It is unacceptable for a university, such as ours, to be a complete laughingstock in football, with a stadium to match.

i got a tour of the BTF yesterday morning. it's a fantastic facility and looks bigger from the inside than the outside. crazy to think that it will be the "old" building in a few years when compared to the chester peters, WSC, vanier 2.0, the rowing facility, NBAF, the ag dept., the vball facility(dax?), and other potential buildings and upgrades. the amount of construction up there is astonishing.

Has it been mentioned here that Ron Prince is sitting in his white polo shirt above the player entrance? That's an absolute amazing sense of humor from whoever did the rendos.

 

Omg chunkles easter egg?

Is theirs bigger than ours/ is this even valid since we have two?

P.S. I admire his consideration to specify that people call it two different things

From a different thread on the front page about "renderings" and crying that the legislature f'ed them over on thebball dorms :

   With the Pro-KSU and Anti-KU sentiment in the Kansas Legislature, expect a complete green light for anything KSU wants to do, and a road block for anything KU wants to do. All you have to do is take a look at the makeup of the state government to figure that out. KU sends their alumni into the world. KSU keeps theirs here in Kansas.

Great video editing. The stadium looks about 9,000 times classier with the endzone enclosed, like i can't believe the difference it makes. the guys voice in the video was weird but whatever

Should have hired Don LaFontaine or Morgan Freeman to narrate the video.  Would have been way better IMO.

I was thinking Gus Johnson.

Get you freckin fingers out of the icing; we got cake to build.

Ironic how all the donors fronting the big money for all these projects across campus were brought in from "around the world" for a purple bake sale while the phoghats are complaining that they're not getting any love from state legislature.  Maybe if they tried to actually raising the money like we're doing instead of asking for handouts like a bunch of welfare recipients living on food stamps in section 8 housing.

I keep hearing KU fans say something big is coming, yet nothing ever tangible even materializes outside of very vague crap on the Phog.

[Dugout DickStone]

I'm pretty sure they are just waiting for kstate to announce the very last phase and then they will announce one that's better.

[doom]

How will this affect the sight lines?

It will make them different. You still won't be able to see through the uprights, however.

[Belvis Noland]

I'm pretty sure they are just waiting for kstate to announce the very last phase and then they will announce one that's better.

At this point, to keep pace, they'll literally have to tear down and build an entirely new stadium.  Ala Baylor.

Dont think that is possible, even in a parallel universe

Welp, I got bored last night.  Dunno.

I agree, it sounds like KU is just holding out so they can have the latest and greatest. The problem is, much like cars, TVs, etc., K-State seems to roll out a new improvement every year. Sooner or later, you just gotta pull the trigger and get something good, even if it will be outdated in 6 months. Know what I mean?

But anyway, back to the NEZ, it looks awesome. I think I might have preferred something a bit more castley on the field side facade, but I see what they're going for. Those standing room terraces look really neat. If we can't increase the seating (until NBAF) I'm glad we are at least making great facilities for the fans and players.

[Dr Rick Daris]

they didn't do the wsc castley on the inside so i'm glad they aren't doing this castley on the inside. "normal in and castle out, that's what we all about. kstate! who, what? k-state! i said what? k-state! whup, whup whup whup whup whup!"
