There’s a pretty good discussion about how it was necessary to sod the berm because otherwise there would be risks of mudslides and dust inhalation while waiting on the rest of construction.
Then weighing the merits of just letting people sit on the berm but it was decided that the berm is too steep and would risk injury, Jack and Jill style. Thank goodness.
All of this is still less embarrassing than KU fans seriously proposing adding lines of port a potties to their stadium as a “fix.”
