BSFS Expansion Thread

From AyoSaba...

User LazyCat had this to say about the New Vanier on the north end

I had the opportunity today, 03/08/14, to visit the west side club and suite seating. I have a lifelong friend who was looking at getting into the club level. During the visit we were told by the K State representative, A+, that the North End project would be a $60 million construction project. . Along with the Vanier's $20 million, an additional $20 million has been raised and that is enough to get it announced and started. It will be a complete demolition and will have four stories with a walkway from the eastside to the westside. The south end video board will be three times bigger than the one in place now and two smaller ones in the north end zone corners.

Also this

They would like to start after the end of 2014 season and be ready for the start of the 2015 season. Nothing was said about temporary accommodations nor did any ask. The timeline, in my opinion, would be based on finding temporary accommodations to get by while construction is going on. The donation from the Vanier family was a kick start for others to step up and get on board. The last thing is, he said he hatted the railing around the bottom of the seating and would like to go with limestone.

Finally a tiny nugget of information to get this thing going again.  Still need some drawings though.

Wait so we're getting three new video boards, one of which is 3 times the size of the South board?

Is this keeping with the trend of just adding more t.v's into the Bill?

BSFS going to look like the (Las) Vegas strip when it's all said and done!

Saw 15 seconds or so of the rough cut videos for the announcement at the spring game.

It's happening.

The fact that we still have one more year with the tiny little baby tv screen in the north endzone is kinda funny. I'm going to watch it this year even though you can't really make out what's being shown on it just for old times sake.

Man, I remember when the original North Board went up (the current one is actually the second board, the original was a Sony Jumbotron . . . K-State actually had the smallest outdoor Sony Jumbotron in the world) and it seemed so cool.

Yeah.  Did the video show a limestone fieldwall?

No kidding. I thought everyone was just going to let that float by with no comment.

Him: "Hey, I met the most interesting man in the world today!"
Me: "Cool! What was he like?"
Him: ...
Me: "Well...?"
Him: "I just wanted to tell you I met him. I wasn't planning to tell you anything about him."
Me: "Bastard."

This thread.
Great effort.  Thank you.

If all of this is true, plus the new cow CDC coming to town, we may also have to build a new coal-fired power plant just to run this baby. That will really piss them off in Lawrence.

YOU REALLY OUGHT TO BE LOOKING INTO NEW, ALTERNATIVE, RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Fly over of campus "Game of Thrones" style with facilities coming out of the ground. Memorial, Ahern, BSFS dug into the ground, Bram...then pans back and you see the Eastside go up and Tointon, Christian and Vanier 2.0 go up. Then zooms over the BTF, tennis, rowing and Equestrian facilities...comes past a blank NEZ, flys low as the WSC is built and towers over you, turns east into BSFS and looks north from about the south endzone video board at Vanier 3.0...but that's where the video ends and you don't see it. Mostly because it is the dude's pitch. Very rough, but very cool. He said he's already got over 100 hours into it.

If Currie doesn't go with this, I may punch him in the face at the spring game. Or at least say mean things about his mother.
