Ahearn was a dump . . . and Bramlage is nothing close to what was originally proposed, well, SOLD to the K-State constituency. It was supposed to be round, it was supposed to be cut smooth limestone on the outside, it was supposed to have 2 levels, it was supposed to hold 16,000 people.
It was such a clusterf_ck of a project they hadn't even thought through running power into the facility, and they didn't do proper soil sampling prior to the start of construction and so they had to cut out a bunch of stuff in order to put in concrete supports below the seating bowl to keep it from sinking.
