BSFS Expansion Thread

[cfbandyman]

You guys I love this thread so much.

By far my favorite too. I'd like to imagine phase 5/6 when it's done looking from Kimball south towards the stadium looking like the WSC arch and towers but with a wider arch entrance flanked by 2 (slightly shorter) towers and extending closer to Kimball (all parking for the football players and staff will be in an underground garage too keep their cars cool and elite looking longer). Also would like phase 5 to put limestone on the east side in a way to match the west side in some way, and (maybe too expensive but it'd match it better) angle the edge of the seating of the east side to match the west side too (cuing talks about potentiality improving site lines in phase 5). And yes, I want party deck there in the SW wedge overlooking the field between the Bram and WSC. With a restaurant balcony below that (in a way so some drunk dude doesn't spill his drinks on the people below) and have it connected essentially rooftop to the hotel that would sit west side of Bramlage. Then place that kiddy funland there on the NE corner, and of course have the weight room/training/varsity lounge in the NW corner. Connect east side and west side to Bramlage and each other, (maybe put some club seating/lodge seating or more suites with that) wrap the field with the limestone wall, place in kick ass sound system, ribbon boards, endzone length new north endzone video board, and sit back and enjoy K-State 'Cats take on Pud U in the most elite stadium in college football.

I know a spot that I love full well,
‘Tis not in forest nor yet in dell;
Ever it holds me with magic spell,
I think of thee, Alma Mater.
K-S-U, we’ll carry thy banner high.
K-S-U, long, long may thy colors fly.
Loyal to thee, thy children will swell the cry.
Hail, hail, hail, Alma Mater.

Hmmm. Maybe Currie made the right decision, guys.

thinking about this, reverberating (sic?) around for the first time gives me chills, EMAW bros, chills 

I have completely bypassed the tree issue and am enjoying the thoughts of how elite we will be, try it

wow, that did feel good

not as good as picturing walking up to the stadium, a chill in the air on a perfect college football Saturday, walking past trees with leaves changing colors, high fiving my bros.

that does make it sound perfect

and I'm back to the tree issue, damn you currie, damn you

sidenote: is there a tree thats leaves turn into anything resembling purple?  cause that would kick ass

[SkinnyBenny]

Oh man, I hadn't even considered how it would look with trees in the fall.

[RickRampus]

what if it snowed? and the snow stuck on the trees?

feels bad man...

[RickRampus]

then again, some gpc-type would probably want to put dumbass lights on them in December, so possibly a win there

[meow meow]

feels bad man...

if that happened, walking on the sidewalk just went from dangerous to suicidal.

[RickRampus]

holy hog nuts, google image search jacaranda, would be EMAW overload

[Shacks]

God damn pedestrians keeping us from having amazing EMAW trees

[SkinnyBenny]

Look at all the pedestrians on the ground in that pic. So many knocked out by trees impeding their walkway, T's & P's.

More context for Nightmare on No-Elms Street:

Sounds like there is some sort of landscape vision for both parking lots (primarily west side) that would create a treelined "main drive" leading from college ave to the entrance of the WSC, as well as some greenspace medians etc. Possible that trees and other landscaping in front of WSC could be part of that... Not sure if that's a "phase" or just a facility improvement. No idea on timetable.

There currently isn't enough room on the sidewalk in front of WSC and the drive area of the parking lot for trees without a disruption of foot traffic. Would need to eliminate stalls on the eastern edge of the parking lot, which would have a ripple effect of having to reassign spots etc throughout the lot. I think they want to avoid having to do a big reassign of spots twice, and just wait to redo the whole lot at once.

Also, really wish I could go back and not use the word "nightmare"

yes. that was unfortunate for you. also, there's a rumor going around that there won't be beer this fall. thoughts?

Won't be beer at football? They said very specifically there were no plans to have beer in BSFS or in Bramlage, that it was a baseball only test program.

The BoR just approved a thingy with the east side lot. Does that mean there will never be trees over there?

Tried to get more info for you guys since it bothers so many of you. Just telling you what I heard. 

[EMAWmeister]

CC, stop by the financial reporting thread. TIA

[captaincrap]

consider me

Dubious about what?

East side is getting resurfaced this summer.

yes. common thought was that it was a test program and if the test went well, they'd extend it to football this fall. that doesn't seem to be the case though.
