BSFS Expansion Thread

[TownieCat]

btw, anyone else been getting better cell reception at games?  my phone (verizon) used to never work during games but now works pretty well.  I noticed there are some new antenna type doohickeys on the NEZ video board and some antenna looking doohickeys on trucks outside.  did verizon finally build/bring in more towers?  if so, it's weird that we didn't get an email about it or something.

Those are AT&T towers. They are part of their new contract agreement. There are extra Verizon towers near the stadium too.

huh.  we surmised they were verizon towers because all of us that had verizon were able to use our phones but not those that had att.  regardless, my phone works better than it used to so I'm happy about that.

I said something about it in the cellphones thread, but my reception has been great the past two games also.  I thought it was my new phone, maybe not.

[Dr Rick Daris]

yes it's been great and my phone is like fifteen years old. not new phone.

got my phone last year and it had been shitty for every game until the last two.

I know who is and is not in the final bids for the north end. He couldn't tell me any more than that. Should know more before the regular season is over.

I also realize this adds nothing. Except there was no mention of the south end.

Stadium Expansion thread   Reply
Alright guys what is everyone hearing? There's enough Wabashers with money that have to know something. I had heard rumors that there may be another major announcement in November or December of this year (possibly at the bowl game like last time (assuming we go to a bowl)). So Let's hear what people are hearing, if you can't really say details any little bit would be awesome, because there's nothing more that I want to do this summer than continue my photo updates (I really had a good time doing that). So I'll start with stuff that I'm pretty sure we're getting.

-New Surround sound system in the stadium
-New Video boards (I've heard rumors that there will be 2 boards the size of the current South Board in the North East and North West Corners, and the South board will be replaced with a board 3x the size of the current one. Also hearing they'll put in some ribbon video boards.)

Now for things that I've heard rumored
-First the Limestone wall around the bottom of the seating area (Some have said it's way too expensive but it would really help the look of our stadium)
-For a while there was talk of a large Hotel on the South West side in front of Bramlage (but it's now sounding like that won't be happening as the backers for it have pulled out).
- Rumors of More Club seating in the South end zone that would wrap but not connect the Pressbox and Upper deck. Also this would attach to the K-State legends room in Bramlage to be used for both Basketball and Football.
-A complete Rebuild of Vanier tearing down Vanier and starting over with a whole new facility including seating to wrap the lower bowl and complete the lower stadium.

Again these last ones are just rumors but I was wondering if anyone else had heard anything. If you can't really speak even a yes things are in motion or small tidbits would be awesome.

Ahh you're cute you think that was the first time that stuff was brought up. But hey thanks for adding to this thread. If I wanted their input I would've asked over there, but we all know they're just college students with no real connections and the next time the University comes to any of them for a big donation would be a first. The same can't be said for people on here, so I thought it was worth a shot. That board is definitely good for a laugh from time to time though.

My buddy who helped build the WSC said the hotel was a pipe dream of Currie's, thought up as a pissing contest between the SEC schools he knew from his Tenn. days who have hotels near their stadiums.

[Benja]

Too bad we're all poor college students, otherwise we might have connections.

I never cared about the hoatie much. I mean I guess it would be cool or whatever but it's literally not even in my top 10 of renovations I want done to the Briggs Sports Megaplex.

It was a hotel/HoF combo I think.  Was also going to expand the west side of Bram and connect the two facilities (BSFS and Bram).  I thought it would be pretty awesome.

I'm kind of like SB, but would like to have seen rendoze. I admit it could be cool.

can you even imagine
I wish there were places within walking distance (shoutout to dax)

[Belvis Noland]

sounds like it would have to be a condo/hotel b/c of low occupancy forecast.  Either way, build that mofo.  would be awesome.
