are we getting a new south ez video board this offseason?  video ribbons?  limestone wall?

baylor changed the game, if we don't at least have a concrete wall with limestone tarp screwed on in the next few years, it will never happen.

Just an unbelievable amount of construction at K-State right now, and the Union will start sometime here in the not so distant future.

Yeah and every last penny funded by the taxpayers of Kansas, because they hate ku in Topeka and love K-State.

I've been saying for sometime they should make a restaurant/bar area around the stadium. I was under the assumption that the video boards, ribbons, and wall would all be done with this upgrade but I dont have any intern informers that I can get inside info from so I dont know. Either way I think they are supposed to be done when they finalize the entire project next year.

they should design the east side with the same facade/dimensions as the west. fill it with restaurants, classrooms, office space, yoga rooms, whatevs, but make the outside look as similar to the west as possible.

Many fond memories of train intro vids in the 90's. When I was 8 it seemed like the biggest video screen in the world :frown:
