Allegedly the very preliminary design work up of New Bramlage has a lower seating bowl entrance ability, as well as an upper concourse level entry.  The whole West side ould be dug out and entire new entry plaza would be built on that side.   The East side would remain concourse level entry.

I remember a long time ago, like first cut of the athletics upgrades right after WSC was a thing that the west side of Bramlage would be some sort of plaza/KSU HOF area, seems that idea is being resurrected, though I'm sure through many iterations after the fact.

Will be curious how they keep the sort of "split level" of entrances, I assume the west side plaza is a rather large entrance with some sort of way to get up to the current concourse on each side and way into the the bowl on the west straight in? Understand it's prelim, trying to picture it in my mind

For some reason I was thinking one of the first rumors had a high rise condo complex (or even hotel?) somewhere around in there as well.

Still hope they can do that beyond the left field fence at Tointon like Miss. State U.

Yes, you are correct. The version that dax is talking about had a hotel and hall of fame on the west side, but that was before the volleyball arena and Olympic training facility.

Speaking of Hotels near the stadium, has it been discussed on here what they're planning to do at the College of Ag right across the street from Vanier North and North West of the stadium? Supposedly want to have this done by 2025.

BTW here's the video I pulled the screenshots from. They had a townhall about this and another major project adding onto Weber Hall and upgrading Call Hall about 2 months ago.

In the video, it actually says there is no access from where the work will take place to Kimball, and the City of MHK will be building a new access road connecting College and Denison further north.

Yeah I’m listening to it now. My strong preference would be for all that to just remain open unused space space/farm land. But it at least sounds like they won’t have to tear up kimball again for two years if they do build more stuff.

For those wondering, best info starts at 20 min. mark. Even mentions the talks of the practice facility being built over there at one time.

Exactly, add a peaked roof and beautiful limestone shell and you’ve got perfection.

@MakeItRain, I think we could o luxe all of the above with a concourse or duel level entrances.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I think them putting all that there is to hide that exact thing. I think trying to make the stadium feel less next to a feel is what they are going for

If they want BSFS to feel less “in the middle of nowhere” they need to do something about the endless sea of asphalt that surrounds the stadium. It’s more of an eyesore than farmland IMO.

The North Campus Corridor work helps with that, adding trees around the lots (and the practice facility helps as well). This EDGE district project would greatly help.

Another thing they hinted at for awhile was a main tree lined drive up to the front/main entrance of the WSC. I hope they do that at some point.

Having a tree lined entrance to the WSC would be a massive improvement aesthetically.

also the whole training building cuts down on that too (the sea of parking lots), that and all the little small things like the rowing, heck even the volleyball and Olympic place kinda fill in gaps from the baseball area.

Agreed also the landscaping and tree thing will help break it all up.

Safe to say he has a more vested interest than most in this particular expansion.
