BSFS Expansion Thread

Fwiw, project confirmed behind schedule. Pretty sure we all knew this. Source A+.

Good, if it get far enough behind and they miss some of the big deadlines dates and penalties start kicking in, we get the new pressbox dirt cheap and can redirect the money to phase 3 stuff.

Nope.  High chance the project is behind schedule due to the Athletic Department needing 200 people involved to decide the style of handrail to be installed.  Also Currie has to have a say in every little thing when it comes to these projects, and it slows them up tremendously. 

So the project will be behind, but penalties will not accrue from the contractor due to it being K-State's fault.

This is exactly what I've heard.

I've been told KSU is the worst client ever.

currie's gonna currie

I worked for KU med when they build the MOB (roughly same scale as our pressbox) and KU was an awful customer. They would hold these little pow-wow's in the lobby trying to get a decision from 20 hospital execs that don't know each other on what color of lampshade they wanted.

It was a massive clusterfuck and I assume KSU athletics are no different.

Can confirm. I did some structural design to fix stuff the engineer of record messed up due to ku being awful.

This is also confirmed. Was told of one specific change that was a problem that came directly from Currie himself.

i covered ksu being the worst, most indecisive client ever about 100 pages ago.  thanks lukers.

[cfbandyman]

Starting to drill the for the support pilings for the middle section, should see some steel go up in the middle part in a week or two!
 

[mocat]

Guess what though? Every owner is the worst/most indecisive client ever.

[star seed 7]

ksu is even worse.

Phone's photobucket uploaders was being kinda weird, sorry about the odd order.

The guys were still working at 5:30 today as we motored out of the parking lot after the women's BB game. Dedication, plus good $ for working on a Saturday, I suspect.

why did you mirror 2 of the pictures.

[ednksu]

why did you mirror 2 of the pictures.

the two that look similar?  I was just trying to get more of the face of the pressbox.  I haven't had a chance to go over there recently to do better shots and I wanted to show how much more was going on the front.

A 100 yard jumbotron.  My Lord.  That is glorious.

It's soccccccer.

[Shacks]

What is the capacity of that new UNLV stadium?  If it's big enough, that would be a perfect location for the Pac 12 CCG.

60k, and I believe that's what they are hoping for, as well as a second bowl game and perhaps a BCS playoff game.

[Pete]

I hope the Big 12 gets that bowl game and kicks Pinstripe to the curb.

Please, Nike took soccer over in the early 2000s. Adidias is 1980s hipster garbage

I think it started in earnest when Ronaldo wore those badass Nike Mercurial's in the 98 World Cup.
