WIFI distribution is currently in design.  Goal is to still have it up.  As someone stated before, it's not like it takes weeks to install.

well, it kind of should.  power, backhaul, equipment.  the building is an octagon.  they're not trying to solve a new problem, use the same design that's in every other arena in the world and you're automatically 1000x better than what is there today.

Honestly.  If you're using the good stuff, deploying Wi-Fi/WLAN in Bramlage is about as cookie-cutter as it gets.

i wonder if they had to reinforce those monster joist girders, or if the new screen weighs less than the old one despite being much larger because technology. either way, the first big time snow = :ohno:

It will be fine as long as it doesn't get hit with too many high-arching shots that make it shake and sway.   :ohno:  If it does fall, hopefully we are playing OSU and Ford is on the court arguing.

Damn - that thing is huge and glorious. Also, it should help distract from our ugly court and too-wide aisles.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Hmm, I'm thinking it's not going to be the best idea to have both the game time and score as well as the actual time-time on the same board on the ends.

Also, can you actually read the big board while sitting on the bench.

I do like that we have the new shot/game time clocks on the backboards.
