Guys, this thing is so hot. It's amazing. It blows my mind. I mean, I was expecting us to have the most elite facilities in the entire world and this still blows me away. HOLY crap!  :ksu:

It's spectacular in person. Just saw it for first time.  :bill:

OR!  It could just be a table with all the exact same graphics but instead of accomplishments from his punting days it could just look like that's what it is, but when you read the words closely it's a resume for being the HCIW.
:jerk:

Guys! What if we just keep it being a Gary Spani table? :excited:

And do you think any of the people that worked on those stadiums would work on LHC Bill Snyder Family effing Stadium? Also, just because they get big jobs doesn't mean they do them well. Their quality has been slipping quite a bit. At least from what I have heard.

But hey, don't let me stop you guys from acting butt hurt. Carry on.


Heery is not in the same class in terms of sports architecture.  Period. 

For all of this bullsh*t about how “I heard they were slipping”, Arch Record just released their 2011 top 500 firms in the world and Populous claims the #1 ranking of all sports based practices in the world.  Poll anyone in the design community or look at any rankings over the course of the last 20 years in Arch Record or any legitimate publication for back-up. 

This isn’t about some shirt tuck being all bent about the local yokel architecture shop not getting their handouts.  According to their website they’ve done 1,000 sports projects globally and over $20 billion in construction value over the course of the last 27 years.  Oh yeah, and they’re EMAW to the core.

Heery is an engineering based firm that typically teams up with others to do some collegiate work in the mostly the SouthEast.  That’s their portfolio.  Look at it.  AECOM is a Los Angeles based conglomerate that bought out Elerbe when they were on the brink of collapse three years ago.

It’s water under the bridge, it’s over.  The reason people are upset is that many of us know people that work there and have put a lot of their lives into K-State and were excited to be involved with something transcendent for their alma mater.  If that’s not a cool thing to say, or shirt tuck, then whatever.  At the end of the day there was a lot more at play here with an AD that had a prior relationship he was tending from his UT days and a damaging newspaper article in the 11th hour that erroneously stated Populous had been hired that raised all sorts of ethics questions and they made the move they needed to.
 
As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.  K-State missed a big opportunity to do something world class.  And that’s not a “Butthurt” statement.  That’s reality.


Bump.



so what are goEMAW's thoughts on this? water under the bridge?
