Captain Crap, anything new?  Wouldn't mind knowing the Captain's thoughts on how this turned out.

What do you want to know?

Everything

By the way MODS Cap needs something more than "Fan" under his name. Step it up.

How likely are we to see all six phases come to fruition?  Timeline on starting Phase 3?

Are they getting rid of ALL of the unsightly metal bleachers or just the ones above sections 2 and 9?  :dunno:

Is it guaranteed that Phase 2 will start this summer still?  As a KState fan i'm kind of used to rug being pulled out from under me when I hope for anything good to happen.

Very likely. Other phases will start once west side is done, or at least very close to being done.

For now just the ones on 2 and 9

Maybe not a guarantee, but very very confident it will start spring/summer.

Is it true that they raised the donation level to get the suites midway in the selling process because they were selling like hot cakes (< pancakes)

It will be a year round facility. Banquets/receptions/functions and meeting space. Don't think there will be a restaurant in this Phase.

I don't remember seeing a facade to spruce up the East side mentioned anywhere--is that somewhere down the line?  (Note: I actually don't care that much about this but a lot of people seem to.)

How big will the new vid board be when it finally gets there?   :excited:

What's planned down the line (Phase 3, I think?) for the NW corner? 

Can we contract out the stadium U2 for a night so we can bring Fatty out of retirement?

Don't know, sorry. Suites sales have gone very well. Club and Loge seats are next.

Haven't heard anything about East side facade.

Phase 3 would put a new strength and conditioning center and a varsity club/seating area in that wedge. Would be a great addition for the teams.

So the dream of Kazzu Stades being a big time-y, fully rounded off bowl is officially dead?   :frown:  Small price to pay for buffer D-Linemen, though.

Let's talk trees. Rendos show trees on the outside (parking lot side) of the new press box.  What types of trees will they be?  They should tower imo or at least cause confusion in the minds of our opponents and opposing fans.  Put in a good word for sequoia and/or palm. tia.

Will it still be called the Dev  Nelson Press box?

Any drawing yet with the rest of the phases other than the purple blocks? (more details please)

Congrats Kats !! Impressive, it actually looks very similar to the renovations we just finished on the Big House.. I haven't made it back to Michigan for football season yet since completion, but my Dad was up there this fall in the suite and said it's amazing.. Also, helps a lot with keeping the crowd noise inside and adding to your homefield advantage.. If you get a chance you can check out our renovations, they're basically the same as far as taking an old shitty pressbox and turning into a badass structure complete with suites and all that.. I think the only difference is we did it on both sides where it looks like you guys are just doing it on the one side, or are they planning something similar for the other side as well ??

somewhere in the 96 pages we highlighted your expansion.  our east side is already completed, it has suites sandwiched between a lower and upper level of seating.
