Is it on campus?

I think they got their zoning permits for that track in Lecompton.

Speaking of setting:

This pic has been recycled for like 20 years by the squawks. They lack new/creative material.

Heard they sold their photoshopping rights to help pay for the new track. (B+ source)

heard rumors that they are going to move football games to this place so that people have room to tailgate and also have a chance to reach max capacity. further rumors that old memorial is going to be torn down and they are going to put a shrine/museum about allen field house there with a 1000 seat amphitheater for ac/dc cover bands 24/7.

Naming it after Lew Perkins?

Two thoughts:

Is this really ku's first track complex? Looks like a Whittier version of the one we built that I didn't even know about until I saw it. They are celebrating like this is a new football stadium.

Charlie's recruiting classes are very RPesque. Not as good, but the same quantity over quality approach with absolutely no balance among classes. Just a total clue master. At least RP sort of knew what he was doing on offense and ST

If he continues to recruit 5* flame out, transfers, one will eventually stick you guise.

That will be his bread and butter, always!

From December 11th:

Did they drop that track in the middle of an abandoned strip mine or something? I feel like the mafia is going to be pissed that their favorite dump zone is gonna have slightly more traffic now.

it's nice, but I'll take the on campus setting of our track any day

Every time Beems posts that picture of BSFS, it makes me think how great a view the NBAF will have.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #4291 on:** January 30, 2014, 11:19:36 PM »

Our track dates back to pre-WWIII. History and a world-class on-campus setting.

Two programs with pretty rich track & field histories.

That reminds me. I met Cliff Rovelto's brother in DFW recently. He was bragging very hard about being Cliff Rovelto's brother.

I do like how beems posted their "state of the art" facility and was immediately mushed by a pic of k-states which looks the exact same but nobody ever talks about

But the surface. It's the same color but better trackyrubberystuff. Probably only makes KU runners faster

T&F facility smack

. Need to go back to review Dax's analysis of how KU managed to get access to this facility (since they won't own it), and why it's in east Topeka. Can confirm that our T&F is stud boss, and complements the campus, vs the KU T&F facilities complementary role to the Perry-Lecompton landfill.
