CC, I've heard Currie has gotten the thumbs up from the Vaniers to start raising for the north end and forget the previous agreement as long as their name stays on it.

read this right before going to bed last night.. had to wash my sheets this morning
What priority would be put on this even if funding was available?

I'd like to see them do NEZ and SEZ simultaneously.  Especially if they planned on updating video boards.  Seems risky to get new video boards then follow up with renovations shortly after.

are the upgrades scheduled to be done by kickoff this year?

Scheduled yes, but plenty of backspikes.  Critical path extends well beyond the opener.

first game isn't til Sept. 7th, should be done by then

i might have to go to a game and check it out. i have alot of old hs buddies that go to a lot of games there, i usually go to one a year.

You go to KState games even when KU isn't playing?  That's weird as hell dude.

Vanier is a hot mess . . . the sad thing is, so much money has been spent updating all the various areas of the facility and instead that money could have (and should have)made a substantial down payment on an entire new facility that's laid out in a better and more efficent fashion.

And again, to be perfectly blunt, it's pretty much LHC Bill Snyder's fault that is the case.   I couldln't help but chuckle a little when I was told a few years ago that Snyder II realized that all the pains taken to avoid major disruption in the renovation process only made the future project that much more invasive and that much more expensive.  The millions spent updating Vanier 5 or 6 years ago could have made a damn nice down payment on a new Vanier.

The only really good news on this is the fact that we have an athletic director who is 2 for 2 on major facilities projects in terms of doing it right (with all due respect to personal preferences) and will likely insist that Vanier II be done right so it doesn't have to be messed with again besides the occassional updating of technology and furnishings.

You think they could make a giant swing attraction between the two leftover light poles?

pretty great idea here.  could relocate the poles to the middle of the parking lot so that people can swing down over the tailgate lot from a platform at the top of the east side.  would be a huge moneymaker.

Plant some trees where the poles are since they already impede traffic.

They sure did.  "#BSFSmasterplan" was very impressive.

Man, John Currie is so awesome, man. He's indirectly like the best contributor to this thread. What a gem.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Currie!

My favorite part is how obvious it is he's somewhere in the WSC taking that picture. Stud must live for looking at BSFS construction like us  :D

So guys. I've been traveling a lot recently and have kind of a shitload of pictures of other teams' football stadiums, press boxes, and basketball arenas. Some of them are just generic stadium photos and some are more specific ones. I don't want to clutter up this thread  if they don't want me to, but I know gE loves their master threads. I'd mostly try to only post pics that aren't available through a simple Google search...What would you prefer I do with these photos? Lock in your votes.

A) Post them here
B) Post the football ones here and the basketball ones in the New Court Design thread
C) Start an offshoot thread and just link it here
D) Not post them at all because everything is so pud compared to the WSC.
