LOL hope whoever parks in 307 drives a golf cart.

How bout ol' boy rolling up on 307 for the fam reunion in his extended King Cab and being greeted with that little surprise.

I really hope 307 is a second parking spot for tailgaters in 306 or 308.  I mean not many people drive and park their two-door Mini on gamedays for tailgating shenanigans. 

306/308 just hit the jackpot

Also, looks like our elite concessions tents are staying put based on these sweet new fences.



 :sdeek:

Does it seem like to anyone else they are doing it backwards? (concession lines should be back behind)

Could be they were anticipating casual fan dumbassery with this setup.  By having the pathway behind, they are pretty sure it won't get congested with jackholes waiting to access concessions.  If they put the lines in the back, the lines would almost immediately turn and snake back toward the SEZ seats.  You just can't count on people to actually ponder how things are set up and make good choices - especially when it comes to crowd dynamics.

Now, not saying this plan will work.  Just guessing that was the intent.

Don't really care about our concession tents. Seems like a fine solution until we revamp the whole SEZ. More :facepalm: about all the purple powercats on our beautiful castle, and :curse: about the lack of WS landscaping. I doubt it's a matter of money - just stupid little design decisions. But otherwise, holy crap this thing is legit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

When it comes time for the next expansion can we please just do whatever it takes to get rid of these super WT metal bleachers?
SB, I'm totally on board with you on this. But I don't want to lose capacity either. Being sub 50k capacity would be the pits.

I know we've brought it up, but let's do some math here.. How many seats do those bleachers hold? How many seats does the current NEZFZ hold? If we remove those bleachers and just enclose the whole North to mirror the South seating/concourse, how much would capacity actually go up? Can't be THAT much, can it?!?!? Need accurate numbers before moving forward, TIA

Those trashy metal bleacher i bet hold about 150 ppl per section, and there is like 4 of them. WAG i'd say 600 ppl from the bleachers.

It's called Architecture hierarchy. The battlements and supporting towers are supposed to look robust and fortified while the entrance is to be smoother and more welcoming the progression is to smooth that transition.

That light pole pedestal is much taller than I would have thought. Or HSC is like 4 feet tall.

you're probably right but i just have the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong with that middle section.  also, why is it lighter shade brown and not have the limestone rocks?  something is up in that middle area, i'm sure of it.

Something is definitely foul here... Why are there traffic cones on the second floor?  I hope somebody lost their head for that.  Long live the King!  :lynchmob:

there is something going on in that middle section but i can't put my finger on it.  really think something serious has happened in the middle area where their is still purple foam board showing.

dax i really doubt we ran out of limestone, and if we did then we're probably more mumped than i earlier anticipated because who screwed up the limestone order? not me.
