Sorry if luked, but I especially like the rendering on the "Feedback" page. http://www.kstatesports.com/weststadiumcenter/feedback.html


many of our players on the field appear to be about 5yards tall... yesss! :kirkgibsonfistpump:

That's what new facilities do for recruiting.
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.

I guarantee you that May 21, 2013 on a message board (a premier message board, but still a message board) was not the first time somebody thought about the rough ridin' camera angles.

You would think so...  but then you would be wrong...  That's why the northwest camera landing is never used, because nobody thought about what a shitty angle that was...

Pretty sure John Currie just touched on that subject in his most recent letter to the fans.

Construction Update
The West Stadium Center construction continues to change rapidly on a daily basis as we close in on 100 days before the 2013 season opener! The project continues to run on schedule, and it is exciting to see the progress our construction managers Mortensen/GE Johnson make each day. Click here for the latest photo gallery of the project. Also, if you have driven past LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium this week, you will notice some work being done on the east side of the stadium. With the new lighting system put in place on the west side, we made the decision to replace the two light poles on the east side with new light standards that will be affixed to the top of the upper-deck structure. The addition of this lighting system will greatly enhance the stadium's appearance while tremendously improving the lighting levels, providing our fans, student-athletes and television viewers with a better viewing and playing experience!

Not sure what this has to do with this thread, except the beginning of the linked video.  Met this guy today hot on the recruiting trail in the DFDubb...



was an amazing moment in an otherwise ordinary day.

Gonna go ahead and take credit for this since I bitched about it 200 pages ago and we all know Currie reads gE.c

Awesome photos...  Well done, sir.

I spoke to one of the associate AD's on the Saturday of the OU home series (a week ago today) and he told me that they were very much on schedule with about 90% of it.  Also, the belief is that it will be completely enclosed (meaning all glass in) by June 1 and then the A/C can be turned on inside so that the interior finishing work can really get going.

This thing will be amazing come Aug. 30.

The South concourse appears to have been torn out.

Anyone know anything about this?
