BSFS is 1.3 miles from Anderson. Perceived "heart" of campus. But, it's not really the center of campus anymore. Over the past decades, campus growth has been northwest. Even if you don't consider jardine/athletic complex/rec center/vet complex part of campus, the stadium is still only .5mile from Claflin/Denison. I definitely wish we'd built the thing on top of East Stadium years ago. But, over the years, we chose to just extend campus to the football stadium. Either way, it's essentially "on campus" in every sense of the phrase. The city and K-State are about to embark on a massive overhaul of what they are calling the "Kimball Corridor" -- basically Kimball from College Ave to Tuttle Creek Blvd will be developed with condos, town homes, businesses, restaurants, etc. This is being done with NBAF in mind, but it will certainly be a major benefit to Athletics. Within 5+ years, there won't be any more sheep lot parking, but there will be sports bars or restaurants across the street to get Pak'd in before a Catz hoops or foosball event.You could make a pretty easy case that NBAF will be as important a city "center" as Anderson Hall currently is, and BSFS will be just down the street.Related: http://www.found.ksu.edu/noteworthy/2014/new-building.htmlFirst step in development of north campus corridor.

The signage and "consistency" they are going for looks pretty great. Would love for a lot of this kind of stuff to happen.
Architectural sizes may vary but continuity of the established campus should be preserved through incorporating a predominance of limestone and glass exterior wall finishes and comparably colored roofing material
The 'taters put up a statue and named a highway and stadium after some guy that has won two conference titles in 125 years. Oh I forgot, he also has lost 10's of 3rd tier bowl games, most of which don't exist any longer.Between 1988 and 2008, their basketball team did not win a single NCAA Tournament game. Twenty YEARS!! That's an incredible stat for a P5 school.Rate now:

I don't know why that poster stops there. That POS Snyder has only won 2 conference titles in the last millennium, much less the last 125 years.
