Wonder if the average tuck noticed the change to the press box in the new flythrough? Taller towers!!!!!  :ksu:



I did! 

The battlement at the top is also much more pronounced and appears to be fully operable now (and not just implied like the previous version).  This is very good news, because if we're going to build a medieval castle, we might as well build a goddamned medieval castle.

Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

Have they started cleaning out the Dev yet (furniture, etc.)?  I think I'm going to make the trip to watch it fall.

Apparently they were telling people to take stuff on their way out on Saturday.  Like chairs and stuff.

Since the Dev isn't real big, are they going to tear it down with machinery?  I'm really hoping it's C4/dynamite/big bang stuff.

I hope.  But Dev isn't very big in the grand scheme of things.  Also I'm sure they will be tearing down the bathrooms soon since they will need those cleared before the Dev falls.

Think it will be an implosion. Why schedule to start a wreaking ball to go through a building on a Saturday? Seems to me you only imploed something on a weekend.

from what I understand the plan will be to selectively demo the rear support columns, so that the Dev rolls over onto it's back.

This is probably how Dev Demo will go; I think this was posted somewhere earlier in this thread:

I'd appreciate it if someone knew the time, maybe I can salvage a few of the letters that spell out KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY and LHC Bill Snyder FAMILY STADIUM

Given how we seem to do things, that thing is going sideways right into the South beams that are already up.

We are also looking forward to a memorable and emotional day with the demolition of the current Dev Nelson Press Box scheduled for the early morning of Saturday, December 15 th .

For a preview of what to expect, click here to see a very similar demolition that took place at the University of Iowa a few years back.  Interestingly, the Iowa project was also managed by our construction management team.

how many wins per year should we expect now after this is done?

depending on who you ask on the board, anything short of a 25 game winning streak shouldn't be tolerated
