There is going to be a players lounge under the stands just off the dressing room.   

The Gatorade area will also work as a players lounge as they'll have one those tiered cool wood bench theaters like a lot of cool companies have put into their offices.   It will have large screen TV's.

They better not wait until 2017 to finish the rough ridin' NE corner...

I keep hoping Currie is just messing with us and this turns out to be like the new lights on the east side were last year.  "Hey guys, we got all this cash lying around, let's just go ahead and finish off the northeast corner."

Agreed.  Would be very Tim Weiserish.

Is it a funding issue or a timing issue?

yeah, so I just noticed that area does step down, and the floor plans reflect that, as there are two ramps offset from the oval form of the locker room.

I've heard both.  More recently, I've heard it's timing.  9 month construction plan.  Aggressive. 

They don't know if they'll have time to rip out the east seating and get that corner knocked out.

A+ source told me that getting the primary facility open by 8/1/2015 is the focus.    NE corner takes away from that focus.   Temp facilities for officials and visitors dressing room will be perfectly fine, the officials will likely get to use the coaches dressing room on gamedays in 2015.

Does your A+ source say it will be done for the '16 season?

Probably, he thought as others have said that Currie was being his usual conservative self.   As you recall he did similar stuff for the WSC, and they ended up adding another $15 million dollars worth of stuff before it was all over.

John Currie is a stud and knows exactly what he's doing.

I had to listen to the game on KStateHDTV as I was stuck out in SWKs.    The connection would start and stop continually so I missed some good info.   Sounded like old Vanier would be up for use for a time during construction.    If that's true then the team can use the current weight room until they can get into new Vanier.   Is this true or did I miss something.

I think you missed something, watch this
Currie talks about using the indoor practice facility as a weight room

b smolls & currie, two k state studs.  at one point when currie was throwing KU under the bus I was convinced dax was feeding him his lines , great vid

[KCFDcat]

was hoping to see some public bathrooms for the NEZ peeps.

So, the field turf "hill" in the weight training facility.  I've never seen anything like it. Am I out of the loop or this a unique feature?

There's like a gajillion different Currie Q&A's, and in one of them he says that the N.E. endzone will be over and above the $65 million they have allocated for New Vanier.   So, you may not see it until 2017.

Classic sales technique...under-promise, over deliver.

The incline in the weightroom is a Dawson thing.  He played a pretty big part in ku's weightroom in Generic Football Guy Football Center before Lew Perkins aka the Killer of Football programs sent Mangino and the whole staff packing.

[Belvis Noland]

Also surprised about the restroom/ Concession situation in the NEZ.

I'm guessing he had a lot of input on the weight training/strength center. Also guessing he's been walking around with a big grin on his face lately.
