Do we like the name, “shamrock practice facility”?

Why not? They paid for it, name it whatever the hell they want.

I'm going to call it 'the rock' and if you want to join me that's fine.

Let me know in this thread if you are going to call it that also.  It won't change my mind but I'm just curious.

I saw it from about a a mile away today driving towards it from the north of the stadium. It looks very very big. Was impressive from a distance.

Cats are getting new field turf next year and you all need to socialize a lavender pinstripe with the white sideline.

I am leaning towards calling it “The Rock” but I’m still considering my options.

I was told the same, and also that it's actually further from the east side and the entrance area than you'd think.

Sounds like a giant eyesore, honestly. An eyesore that also happens to be an incredible waste of money imo.

I hope our players and recruits don’t associate it with a prison they’d do anything to escape from.

If they're the kind of players and recruits I hope they are then they'll associate it with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage saving San Fransisco from disgruntled former marine Ed Harris.

_33 my concern about this tact is if one of our players is going a bad job someone is going to say “what in the name of ZEUS’S BUTTHOLE are they even doing over there?”

to recap:

nancy neg:
*risky to invoke the name of Zeus (or maybe a good idea? might be a peggy po)

peggy pos:
*if players are doing too much chit chat during practice literally any of the coaches (not just kli) can walk up and say "what do you say we cut the chit-chat, A-HOLE"

tough call either way. maybe 'clams can do a thursday howevers on the topic

Mississippi sold out 22 of these in 2 weeks.  This is a pretty cool idea for the east side upper deck.  If K-State allowed all the freedoms that Mississippi State are allowing, I’d be interested.

We have that on the NW corner of the stadium.  It does require a bunch of money due to it being able to hold 100 fans.  Maybe it could be redesigned for smaller areas like what MSU has since the NW party balcony isn't being used as hoped.

Mississippi State like many schools overbuilt their stadium.

They don’t sell those seats unless they’re playing Bama, LSU or Ole Miss. 

So unlike some on Phogistan everyone else knows that luxury seating is the way to go, not adding more regular seats.   

So that’s a good idea by StarkVegas.  We are doing the same in Bramlage by expanding the loge seats. 

Okie Lite is finally moving the walls of death and reducing capacity as well.  Bama reduced capacity a little in their last reno. 

There’s a bunch of schools who need to reduce seats. 

I would have liked to have seen the East side rebuilt at BSFS, but I get that’s really not a priority right now.

There is an untapped market (me) for premium tailgate spots that would include an electrical connection,maybe water supply?
