Limestone rules and I hope our hawk friends get to enjoy it too. Always hated the red brick crap on campus, looks so generic, kansans deserve better.

Red brick and white trim works awesome at Virginia, but yes agreed our rock chalk bros deserve the real thing.

What red brick are you guys talking about?

Very interested to see whether this is the design ... More Sydney Opera House than Coliseum.

kinda looks like a venus fly trap

Word is lots of limestone (rock chalk) and retaining much of the original coliseum-esque design elements. Bear in mind it will essentially be a complete tear down: (a) tearing down and rebuilding the west side and north bowl after this season, then (b) tearing down and rebuilding the east side after the 2024 season. So, hopefully that means brand new plumbing! Will miss the troughs and piss puddles, though

I don't think the word was accurate here, Spracs.

This looks incredible. I'm very jealous of our Hawk brothers.

Glass is just transformed limestone, if you think about it.

looks very very nice. Really interested to see what gets built. Also IMO Gene needs to knock off this talk of stopping on facilities and built a new East Stadium.

Are they using remnants from the World Trade Center towers?

pissclams · « **Reply #25039 on:** August 15, 2023, 03:08:04 PM »

brah feels good to be a cruise ship right about now amirite?

Just decided to copy Snapdragon Stadium I see. Pretty underwhelming. Not even the first Venus Flytrap stadium college football.

...and even SDSU's stadium wasn't the first Venus Flytrap stadium in the US: https://www.loucity.com/lynnfamilystadium/

I mean...I'm sure it'll be really nice.

The measure of the corner cutting to fit the budget will be . . . is that new upper level all steel, or concrete supported by steel?

You guys got the cruise ship. We got the Viking ship. And also the governor slobbing all over our knobs. Plus, Todd Reesing was there spreading his herpes around.

Congrats on the Kevin Harlan narration! I also caught the ribcage/venus flytrap vibes.

catastrophe · « **Reply #25046 on:** August 15, 2023, 03:44:24 PM »

All I see is a rib cage from that overhead view, but if they were going for bird cage then I actually think it's pretty cool.

BostonPancake · « **Reply #25047 on:** August 15, 2023, 03:50:58 PM »

Could really use a track to tie it all together.

DQ12 · « **Reply #25048 on:** August 15, 2023, 03:54:37 PM »

i get that they help with the venus fly trap aesthetic that they want, but why are the lights like that

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #25049 on:** August 15, 2023, 03:54:59 PM »

Venus FlyTrap, birdcage, but my favorite so far, the largest Top Golf in the world (stolen)
