So what's the deal with the big boards?  Is that going in on one side this year, or both next year?

From the site this is what it will look like for 2015


The eff is up with WSC?

The rendering so so missing the McDonalds ad taking up 25% of the video board.  Section 1 has to be the worst section to sit in.

I like the idea of the 2.  Each one is going to be as big or a little bigger than the current south tron.  It encloses the stadium nicely and does not make it look as broken up from WSC and ESC.  I'm hoping they leave permanent advertisements off the north trons and keep it as game footage only.  The south tron is supposed to be the big ass one that is 4x the size of the current one.

Ya. Been saying the whole time that this two-tron thing is dumb and is for dumbs. Glad to see kslim is on board.

IDK, maybe they are hoping with multiple trons, people will look generally in the direction of the play on the field (or can at least see when people are getting to the line out of their peripheral vision) so they stay more engaged and make some noise when need be.

Currently, I see about 30% of the people around me watching replays on or are just obsessed with the south tron and whatever is being show on it, and stand there dumb and mute.

Of course, I'm probably reading too much into this.  But what do you expect from the board's resident tuck?

Just checked webcam two.  Putting in the support for the stands.  Now I can see just how steep the rake on the seating will be (had an idea from the rendos, but now I get more of the context.

they have looked like they'll turn out alright, but the terraces look dumber than I've ever imagined from that angle.

I don't think the terraces look terrible. Not my first choice though.

The terrace renderings were always vague.  Hopefully between the release of the renderings and now they have figured out how to best use them.  Maybe a traveling statue exhibit? 

Also does anyone know if the south side will get its own restrooms and concessions?

it looks like restrooms were left out, which is extremely disappointing. as far as concessions, I guess it's possible they could put up more tents in the corners, like they have on the south side.  Would be incredibly Kstate-O

Yea I was afraid of that.  There needs to be concessions and restrooms on all 4 sides.
