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

Apparently the renderings will be ready in a few weeks, but they won't release them to public/fans until September. 

I'm super happy and excited for them.  I wonder if it will be in phases or all at once.

Is this a renovation or a new stadium?

Glad to hear they're renovating. Hopefully they'll upgrade those awful bathrooms so it doesn't take 20 mins to pee in a trough. Looking forward to a complete aesthetic overhaul too. Wonder if they will bring capacity more in line with the crowds to improve the atmosphere & make it more intimate. That could be nice.

KU would benefit from a smaller, 42,000 person stadium similar to Amon G. Carter with more amenities to keep butts in seats during down years.  If they get good then demand and prices will increase.  I don't think a 55,000+ stadium would benefit them.

Exactly. Maybe a small roof that takes out a few of the upper rows. Maybe even have an upper concourse. You could lower the field then too if you want. Would make a more intimate environment.

You think when they finally open this "B" and have a game, they'll give out a pamphlet of "the rules of football" as they enter the game?

Hillkick's suite rental put us over the top!  Sweet! 

Seriously, thanks to all of those who have put up the funds to make it happen.  Rock Chalk!

I'm excited. $300 million should give us a real nice facility. And the indoor practice facility is a must. Even D-2 schools like Pitt State and Fort Hays have an indoor practice facility.

Get real it won't be a new stadium, Memorial sits in the perfect spot for campus. They can strip that b1tch down to knub and build it back up and you won't ever know what it looked like before. If you really knew your football you would know what OU and Kstate's stadiums looked like in 1990 because both were holes in the wall.

Add parking underground east of the stadium and leave the grass area for tailgating.  a couple levels of underground parking and still have a grass tailgate area.

Ha, really? This again?
Couple of things spring to mind. First, they're starting with an indoor practice facility.............not the stadium. Yet another "clear the deck" project that takes precedence over Memorial. Which means they're still kicking the can just enough to buy some time. If on-the-field results go south and Beaty doesn't show any improvement, they'll still be able to easily back out of stadium renovations.
Secondly, this is the Xth time we've heard about actual plans being drawn up and released, and the XXth time we've heard the phrase "things that should have been done 10 years ago."
How any KU fan can buy into this charade one millisecond before a shovel touches the dirt is beyond me. Zenger's told us the same thing for the better part of a decade, and some people just eat it up every time.
Skepticism is well justified.
