Could put the flight crews from Chicago that stay overnight in that new hotel. Had a flight canceled cause we had pilot but no crew. Crew walked by, pilot asked "Hey want to go to Manhattan?" "Crew member said "NOPE." Asked pilot why, said its cause the crap hotel they put them up in.

Also, I thought it was being paid by different funds (not fully K-State Athletics) which made the project sound  like it was moving faster.  Wow...would if Vanier 3.0 and Hotel/Condo/HoF happened at the same time.  Would If

They used to stay at the Clarion/dump.  Don't know if that's still the case

I always see the AA crews at the Four Points by Sheraton out by Famous Dave's, etc. whenever we end up there.  It's not the best in town, but there are far worse.  I just assumed they stayed there because it's the closest hotel to Manhattan International Airport.

the thing is, I'd be for it if this was the plan AFTER the NEZ expansion with the seating wrapped around and the boards up in the NE and NW corners, cause THE Setting, ya know? IF the plan is to put them in the grassy areas in the NE and NW corners and do the NEZ expansion without touching those areas, WOOF!

Personally, I'd rather they do the NEZ expansion with seating all the way around with 1 big ass board in the North, and a big ass matching one in the South.

Whatever happened to the Hotel/Suites thing? That was getting all kinds of rumory play like 3 months ago than it died.

That was me. I saw the plans for it.

Funding and hot occupancy were issues.

I have some feelers out to see if they were resolved. I have a feeling at least the hotel issues were resolved since there are two hotels that are getting ready to go on the market based on the stadium hotel going forward.

As I understood it though, the hotel won't go forward until the SEZ structures do.

I'll let you know. If I can.

I really have no idea what we are talking about and why this has become a conversation.  Do I need to Wiki something?

honest question, would you rather wait and have everything done at once or piece it together? It's hard to answer for me because I loved the construction summer of 2013

That's stupid. Will not happen. But not surprised that idea is floating around GPC.

If you are asking whether I'd rather start with a big ass screen on pillars above the current Vanier or just wait until we can build a completely new NEZ, the answer is definitely the latter. We're not Iowa State.

NEZ? all at once. After, we could just have the Sundance Kid take pics/vids all the time, and listen to stories from poonhound69 to pass the time.

Then of course we would have the ESC and SSC to look forward to.

Where was I. Where was I recently. Somewhere I was recently, I saw a stadium where they did the "hey let's just put two small video boards in the corners of this end zone instead of one giant one." Spoiler: it sucked. Just go with one giant one.
