Would be effing sweet to have LHCBS featured in several Taco Bell commercials!  He could totes endorse their new breakfast menu.

Kinda random, but has anyone photo shopped what a upper deck around the south endzone would look like? I was just wondering, because in my mind it's a thing of beauty.

Wouldn't that end up being too many seats? Or would we just fill in the extra space with Terraces?

Based on rumors and stuff that's come out (over the years), the main thing with the SEZ is the connecting the Legends room in Bramlage with BSFS in one large event-type space/club area.  I'd imagine that if we actually do close the SEZ, a big chunk of it will be suites/club/event space.

If they add normal seats, it would probably be an extension of the existing upper deck or something like putting an upper deck on top of the SEZ, and if that's the case, we're probably adding 2-4k, max, if that.

I highly doubt this stadium ever holds more than 55k, nor should it.

Iowa State is going to have 61k, but they're going to be selling ten dollar tickets to fill it.

I wondered how this was going to work with the new video board being installed

I'm sure they'll do something with video in the SEZ at some point if they go this route, but who knows what it will be.

I mean, think about it; there are two video boards in the NEZ at differing angles.  They're basically setting up nice sight lines for everyone in the stadium.

Yeah I definitely don't think we should be expanding significantly anytime soon, I was just wondering how badass it would look if we did.

One thing to remember about the $10 tickets is that those people are also paying for parking, and concessions, and t-shirts. Some of those fans are bandwagon fans that will eventually turn into season ticket holders and donors, once they get hooked on the experience of going to games.

I don't necessarily think we need to expand to 61K as part of the north end renovation, but I do think this project should bump us up to 55K, with the expectation of going beyond that when we get around to updating the south end.

Just because I like to use my imagination and ponder such things, I kind of think we'll do the East side like they did Kauffman and Arrowhead; they'll take what's there and just build a stone/metal veneer and expand the concourse on the inside and add some concessions on the second floor.  I highly, highly, highly doubt we're going to spend a ton of money on that because there's not a lot of net/new revenue to gain from doing that other than to make the place look better.  I guess you could make more money charging a higher premium for renovated club seats on the East side, but I have no idea what the price discrepancy is between club/loge in the East/West (or if there is one to begin with).

However, if they do that, and they kind of clean up the East side and move to the south side, you can do one of two things.  First, you can try to connect the East and South and make it like a half horseshoe type of deal, but that would probably be expensive.  Or, you could cut into Bramlage, and connect it with a free standing type of structure where they basically build one big building between the two venues.  If that's the case, it could look pretty sweet.

As others have said, it could look like Mississippi's, but imagine glass in the middle with new suites connected to Bramlage and a small upper deck on top. Obviously, it would be a complex equation of limestone and steel that would really finish things off well.

[Shooter Jones]

demo the east side, and make the WSC go all the way around.

Would take Panjandrum... would definitely take.

Then add the hotel/tbd space in the southwest corner by Bramlage and hello elite stadium. Cry your eyes out Big XII

LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium, aka The MOST Polished Turd

[KITNfury]

The hard part with bsfs is not finding enough seats for everyone, it's having enough premium seats for all the rich K-State grads. We just have too many affluent people.

[pissclams]

we need populous to continue the vehicle theme that began with the cruise ship on the west side. 

land, sea, water, outer space

land:  east side.  make it look like a tank

sea:  west side.  cruise ship

air:  south end zone.  F14 jet fighter

outer space:  north end zone.  UFO

I've always wondered what a polished turd would look like.

I think it would look like amber.

[WildcatNkilt]

Don't they also want to reface Bramlage?  I imagine that would be wrapped in a nice little multi-sport reno package with SEZ.  Legends room need a giant remodel.  It's a waste of space/old person furniture store.  So much potential. 

[Kat Kid]

There is a significant difference in the average pricing between East and West (as there should be).  Part of that is actual differences in the offerings (suites vs. stadium seating), part of that is that is increases in prices for very similar seats due to the West side being newer.

The endzone premium seating would likely be priced lower than either side because sight lines would be worse in most people's minds.  Most places that have large suite structures that wrap around (like Texas) have large portions that are common areas with bars/restaurants/informal seating and serve as walkways.  It basically allows rich people to socialize with each other and not have to walk among the plebes.  It also allows for additional revenue opportunities and for off-season events to be held there with views of the stadium.  I know that was talked about in regards to some of the spaces with the West Side expansion, but I don't know how much that came to fruition (any weddings being planned in the castle?). 

If it is connected with Bramlage, that will only increase the utility of the space and it could end up being a really good money maker year round.
