Also the very small section of purple seatbacks on the west side look silly now more than ever. 


Fortunately, you won't see the seat backs when they're filled with well-fed, affluent EMAWs. 

On the powercats, I really hope those are backlit.  If not, it would have been cheaper and more attractive to just have fabricated limestone with powercats carved out.

They're not backlit.  Very weird detail in all seriousness.

Also, they just put up about 10 large powercats on the front of the stadium where those large stone buttresses are. The locations for Legacy Bricks should all be readable from ground level. Lastly the balcony area on level two will be an awesome gathering space overlooking the parking area on the west.


what material are the made of?

Basically just a painted, metal fabricated box with about an 8" return on the sides. 

Weird they didn't etch the stone in those indentations.

A little disappointing on the Powercats, I would envision something like that in front of each section on the limestone field wall, and more of an etched look on WSC.

They're not etched bc Bill is creating a new logo.

also the powercats are kind of disappointing.  they aren't big enough, and from the street just look like purple blobs.  i'm also nearsighted and don't wear my glasses, so that might contribute.

Yeah, they need an outline, brightened up, or just removed and go with the stone carving idea.

Yep, big shadowy blobs.  I assumed they were going to be like the powercat on Vanier next where the team comes out.  Nothing fancy but you can at least tell what it is from a distance.

And then a Coors Light one and maybe a Corona one with the badass palm tree.

what ever happened to CC? Did the tree talk run him off? Maybe it was the bruceketball thread?

CC, can you chime in on what you're hearing as far as north/south end renovations go? the Limestone wall? Sound system, Scoreboard/ribbon boards?

Yep. As I suspected, the parts where the suites' windows come out look like weird teeth in the mouth of our giant press box.

Shouldn't be.  No definite plans, just generalities of what is coming down with the "master plan."  A lot of stuff up in the air, a lot of issues of what gets down, and how much will be spent, and always if you try and do anything with Vanier what Snyder will let you do as long as he is at KSU to make anything definite.

When I look I this, I envision the ribbon board on the blank concrete area above the first section.... the Cat Train flying down it pre-game... bright purple "GET LOUD's" pulsating on 3rd downs... Case IH and Briggs logos scrolling all the way across between quarters... and I smile, guys.. I really do

Just registered an account for the first time today, but I've been checking out this board, and this thread specifically forever! I am so pumped about what's going on at the stadium!!! We need to keep pushing to help with recruiting and to make things more appealing to the new head coach eventually.

Confirmed, goEMAW is the best online source for anything related to KSU athletics.
