Is this legitimately happening, or are they just hoping to raise money by releasing plans that they could do if they had $300 million?

Also can we discuss how much genius went into this announcement? A small donor gathering at The Well, in June, has national writers discussing KU football. That, on top of our recruiting buzz, is changing the perception of this program. If Beaty can string together some wins watch out.

lol

they are going to spend $300 million dollars, but the structure is the structure, and so you will still have to look at this:

maybe they will unfurl giant sails to cover those concrete columns? like a pirate ship!

if i'm being honest, pirate ship > cruise ship

They could just drape some of Baylor's fake brick fabric down the side and it will look pretty good when the wind isn't blowing.

Confirmed that there's no need to worry about the view:

He also told me we are looking at this being completed in 3 phases. Like you said West side first. Then North, then East. No timeline given though. He wasn't privy to all of the plans but, said the South side will enclose the stadium but, not impede on the view of the hill.

Whew!

What of they go with limestone instead of their usual concrete?

Not enough $$

Dax only has 10 years at best to point out it looks like a crappy old German pillbox

you just know Sandler was good for $250k

What do you think AC threw in?

Two quick thoughts:

1) Announcing a timeline for renders of a renno does not inspire a lot of confidence in how much $$ you have.

2) Announcing a timeline for a render and doing a project in phases is a very smart move if your a financially deficient athletic program; probably a good move for KU.

Hopefully they're able to sort everything out.

It might break them for good when Zenger has to tell them in October that the funding never came through.

THIS!!! They don't have the actual money; they've never had it. We've been down this road before, several times in fact.

Opposing fans really should donate as they use the facility far more than KU fans.

The itk type squawks are saying the pillbox isn't getting replaced

That's unfortunate.

How do you renovate and leave the ugliest/stupidest looking part?

you can't just un-memorial something, it's incred tacky
