I still think the players emerging from the ground surrounded by smoke would be the coolest out of all the options. It would also be the most practical.
Would be great for defensive substitutions during quick time offensive formations so popular with Big XII teams.  They wouldn't know what or who hit them.  This is real wizardry in action.  :gocho: 
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

I'm pretty sure I proposed this earlier in the thread, but considering the lovefest the architects have for the powercat, I think my idea could gain some steam with them should it be presented in the right way.



When I saw this, I remembered a documentary about the Hitler-conceived 400,000 seat Nazi arena which ultimately was never built because the foundation was too heavy.  After some research, I found this rendering which, I must say, was shocking  :sdeek:

I just feel like, in my heart, our stadium should be filled with a lot of people. It's so right.

I feel like it needs more cats on the inside.  And digital cats will be fine, which makes me wonder again what th status of the ribbon boards is.

Is that all next season, Dax?  Like a full on overall at BSFS and the fOOD with a new deal with Daktronics?

Got very elite inside sources reporting that ESPN his having a fit about the new digs, apparently we're too big time and they aren't used to setting up cameras that high off the field and looking down at that sort of angle, despite modeling our pressbox off of existing, ESPN compliant stadiums.

I'd tell ESPN to STFU and deal with it. Don't like it? Then GTFO!

I got a lot of problems with ESPN these days. Whiny bitches.

AyoSaba did his post update elsewhere, I've linked a few of the pics.  With the overcast skies, some things such as lighting popped this week.  Also, some details are showing up clearer. :dance:

Note the trees by the BTF.  :runaway:  :runaway:

Not a single eff was given by me. ESPN never done us any favors anyways. All the do is slurp off the $EC and Johnny Manzel's uncontrollable STD's anyways.

Stop quoting the pics.  It made me think there were a whole lot more posts in the thread because of how much further my scroll bar had yet to go but then it turned out just to be your two stupid posts.  :don'tcare:

Made me nervous to post all of them like that for this very reason.

Unfortunately, I don't know the root page for all of Ayo's pics in this upload, or I would have posted that instead.  I guess I'm just not that tech smart anymore.
