yeah, my comment was more long term stuff. hale has had no A/C for a couple of weeks now, and won't until those cold water pipes are installed.

Understood. That said, a walking campus would be a good thing, IMO.

It already is. I haven't seen a major university anywhere in this country more walkable and pedestrian friendly than K-State. Its amazingly compact.

I think walking campus means no vehicular traffic in the main campus pathways and crosswalks. KSU is far from that, but should strive for it.

yeah. sounds like they are going to try and get less cars driving through campus mainly due to the fact that current day students are so oblivious that they get hit by cars like every other day.

Yeah, that and that driving down claflin through campus when it's super busy literally sucks gigantic horse dicks.

how can that be profitable? I can easily eat and drink hundreds of dollars of premium food items over the course of a football half

I don't believe food is included.  The article I read said there was "access to premium food".    But hopefully there is.

If you look at the University master plan for transportation and parking it suggests removing Claflin and making it a walking only path. They want all roads through campus closed and only a bunch of drop off circles. It doesn't look like Claflin is going to be a through road when they're done.

I was under the impression that from inside you would see a lot more windows. Looks like a big blob of cement with little to no personality.

judging from what i see, i would've sat on the 70 million and used it to offer gpat a ten year 7 mil a year contract when snyder retires. agree with stevesie that the inside looks like it was designed in 1981.

maybe the architects were going for that retro 1980 bluemont hall kind of look though on the inside. if so, they nailed it.

Hey, where is the rest of our party deck?

Will this hill of dirt work instead?

Hmmm. Yes, that will be fine.

Guys, I never thought I would say this, but I've got Iowa State envy right now.

Thanks for the pics, Karlen.

But god damn, if someone would've told me 3 years ago, that 160 million dollars is about to be spent on BSFS, I would've never expected this piecemealed/clashing, dog crap pile of a stadium today.
