The interactive boards that they have on the corners of the entrance are pretty neat. The new K-State super store is bigger than Cat's Closet but still not huge, cool pictures on the wall of former greats (Sproles, etc.)

Love how they play the K-State HDTV pregame on the flat screens through out the WSC :thumbs:

One positive.  The broadcast looks a lot better and more NFL-like from the lowered cameras on the concourse.

That is all.

4) The lighting did seem brighter on the field...but the entirety of the upper deck on the East Side was absolutely flooded with light in front of the towers. I'm not sure if they can 're-aim' some of the bulbs, but I'd have to think that if you were in those seats, it would be like watching a game in broad daylight.

A majority of the upper deck is now in complete darkness. From about the 30 to the 30. Agreed on lighting on the field being better

Probably luked (I'm on page 192) but I like how at 1:31 Currie starts talking about K-State's high standard of excellence just as the camera does a slow-mo past a seat cushion that would be so amazingly easy to straighten out but it's left all lopsided.

Based on the way the field has looked right before kickoff the last two games I'd say BSFS now has a pretty serious

Our WSC is so big that there's now a hideous split-second band echo picking up on TV. I mean there used to be a little one but now it's impossible to listen to and discern anything. I almost couldn't even hear the band play SWP.

Currie is an evil genius.  There are zero drinking fountains on the entire WSC expansion that I could find, only concession stands.  I trucked my ass over to the east side and the line for the water fountain was so long I just bought two more bottles of water, which will be my immediate response next time.

Mrs. Bones can confirm the lack of fountains on the west side. She went on the same hunt without success and bought more water. Currie knows exactly what he's doing.

Currie's letter said they're old as crap and broke while constructing WSC.  Had to find the designer (who's long since retired) and are working to get some duct tape fix it until they replace them.

I got pretty pissed when I saw our band wearing gym shorts and t-shirts.  Don't know why this gets me so angered up, but it does!
