KU football is NOT going through a rough patch. Cheer on our hawk brothers here!

I feel like maybe if I looked at that picture long enough I'd see the sailboat.

Let's review for the non-butthurt, pro-KU crowd:

Allen Fieldhouse:  One of the top 15 sports venues in the world.  Underwent over $70 million in renovations in 2011.  Considered by many to be the mecca of college basketball.

Anderson Football Complex:  One of the most modern and efficient strength facilities in the Big 12.  Built six years before K-State announced plans for a new complex.

Rock Chalk Park:  One of the top five tracks in the United States.  State of the art facility that will allow KU to host regional track events as well as national and conference championships.  100% private funding.

Ward Family Scholarship Suites:  Renovated in early 2000, and was the largest pressbox/suite in the state of Kansas up until K-State's WSC expansion in 2013. 




 

Looks like the suites at Butler CC - just not as nice.

can vouch for that 

[Skipper44]

The worst thing about that pic of a "suite" is that OH is BITB at posting awesome pictures

[PowercatPat]

Hey guys, those suites have a great view of the track below.

"Allen Fieldhouse:  One of the top 15 sports venues in the world."   

This hyperbole ranks right up there with KU athletics on a financial par with Notre Dame.

[Dugout DickStone]

 AH is very well respected.  The rest of KU is a mudslide into a dump

[dave]

But the thing is, you sit in one of those chairs and watch what's going on down on the field for maybe 30 minutes. Then you get up and leave.

[EMAWzified]

Phog rejoinder to all this (and you knew it would be): Orange Bowl tho

[CatMission]

Great for watching the triple jump.

But where do the rich people sit?

[CyberToothCat]

I tried to mark this picture up with my questions but it ended up being just a bunch of ms paintbrush covering the whole picture.

On what I'd call the right wall perpendicular to the ledge, is that a mirror making that suite look a little bigger or a window into the next door neighbor's? 

On the left of the photo, is that a stairway down to a small walkway that's on the other side of that ledge?  Where does it go to?

The furniture - was it that the photographer was given orders to prove that the suite had 7 stool-like chairs and 2 tables but he could only take 1 picture so he moved all the furniture into the frame?  All the furniture aside from the blue chairs is unusable as shown.

Regarding the stairway, just above the end of the handrail, you can see what looks like the arm of a chair with a cup holder, similar to the blue chairs that are visible in the pic. I think the stairs lead down to a lower level in the suite that has more seating.

[Cire]

[GoodForAnother]

sweet merciful christ

the fact that beems thinks the KU pressbox is remotely comparable to ours

Rock Chalk Park is 100% privately funded?  What's up with the 30yr note and remote location?

[kslim]

So K-State is building a new football complex a little over six years after KU completed our football complex in' 08?  Damn.  That's legit.

yeah eff calendars

Good eye.

I've never put any thought into promotional photos of interiors, but that has to be one of the worst.

[WildcatNkilt]

Kind of looks like bowling alley chairs.

[steve dave]

prolly a luke but shots fired

If you can focus on the stuff in the mirror/window then try to keep your eyes focused like that while moving up to the picture you might be able to see the boat.

[The Big Train]

200!!!

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

That picture of a "suite" bmw posted looks like a miniature and shittier version of our OLD press box. Ya know, where we stuffed nonpaying smelly press people.
