Quick question, guys.  Will every seat come equipped with a periscope so the fans can see the playing field? Color me dense, but it looks to me like that area slopes upwards to the South and is shielded by the edge/wall at end of the WSC seats. How will fans be able to see without some changes in elevation, etc. to afford a view. Maybe someone familiar with Geometry can draw a diagram of how that is supposed to work out, because I can't picture it right now.

I don't want to alarm you, but I think your brain is malfunctioning.

Bit older; same concept.



Comparing K-State's locker room and saying it's the "same" as others in the country because of its ovular shape, is like trying to compare an Accord to Maserati and saying they're the same because they both have four wheels.

Stop being a complete dumbass.  Thanks.

Same architect and concept, dumbass.

Exactly. Even if your locker room is a Lexus, that still means its following the body style and general design of a Toyota. That being said, TCF Bank Stadium is beautiful and very Lexusy.

Of all the people who would get butthurt over the beauty that is the new VFC, I have to admit that I thought that Havs wouldn't be one.

I was wrong.

I have an intimate knowledge of TCF Bank stade and can confirm that it is elite. Very elite. Only prob is it's not quite symmetrical. :frown:

Virtually every stadium project right now in this country is a hodgepodge of various additions and renovations that are just cobbled together (See: Nebraska; Texas A&M) where they should have just started from scratch, to maintain some symmetry.

Can't you appreciate the fact that Populous got the "hey lets put ceiling tiles in the locker room" phase out of their system in Minnesota so they didn't do the same thing in yours?

How do you know it was Populous' decision for the ceiling tiles and it wasn't value engineered because Minnesota is poor?

Havs is really dropping some knowledge here, folks.

One thing I also noticed is that Minnesota's locker room also has carpet and a door in it for entering and exiting purposes.

Basically, a direct copy from what I can tell.

I wonder why Havs never told us about that second career as a free-lance for Architectural Digest.   Keen observational eye.
