How do you spend $85 million dollars and not have a tree?

You know, I bet the extra gold platted fixtures in The Animal's suite took all the tree budget.

bunch of tree huggers up in here, jeez

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I seem to remember a lot of umbrellas in the original 'ring as well.  I wonder if they made it

Can you imagine if we had trees and umbrellas and a famous Kansas late summer thunderstorm popped up?  There'd be nowhere to hide from the lightening. Death and destruction.

Look captaincrap, I understand your point.  I just wish that since we are spending 85 mill on this project that we wouldn't have to cut corners on aesthetics.

Cutting the corners on the site planning and landscaping is typically one of the first things to go.

Wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped the statue as well, another item that has gone quiet.

It's probably for the best we aren't getting that. K-State would probably just cut corners and we would end up with a 3 foot wide ditch.

Imagine Anderson Hall or Hale Library squatted down in the middle of a massive parking lot. No trees.  Still nice buildings, but much less impressive.  Our Castle is awesome.  Just less awesome than it should be.  Oh well.

I'm where you are, except i still haven't been able to say "oh well".

Denial is not just a river in Egypt, CC. (back me up here, FR).

I mean yeah we'll all get over not having trees, but for heaven's sakes CC don't pretend like they wouldn't be both A) awesome and B) feasible.

I'm sorry the lack of trees lowers your enjoyment level of the WSC. I don't know what else to tell you about them -- information was available that indicated they wouldn't be a good idea given the space available and the way that space is utilized on gameday. I realize the end result of that decision is disappointing to you. But you will have to trust me that the decision was made in an effort to create the best gameday environment, not a "cutting corners" move or some sort of shortcoming or mistake.

Can we move on?

[captaincrap]

In other news, sounds like significant south concourse remodeling may happen this summer. New east side light standards installed this summer, and new light poles throughout the parking lots (there currently aren't any lights other than ones around the perimeter).

Major focus now is N Videoboard and the hotel/condo concept in the SW corner.

Thx. CC.  Are we going to see LHCBS statue?

Ok, tell me more about this tailgating terrace.  For Ahearn donors only?  Will they serve beer/food up there before games?  How long is it open?

On gameday it is for Ahearn Fund members only. Full bar and catered food. Gates open 2 hours before kickoff, not sure how late it stays open.
