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

I certainly wasn't expecting to see Wescoe inspired peripheral buildings. That's definitely a.... choice

What red brick are you guys talking about?

It's even spread to the joco campus and med school




They even sell red paver brick for fundraising!

Red brick Jay hawk! KU!

Red brick Jay hawk! KU!

This is awfully rich coming from former Jayhawk star seed 7.

I know the "cage" is supposed to be wheat stalks but the "bird cage" is to perfect to pass up

Humiliating capacity reduction, LOL.

It's 100% the right thing to do and more athletic departments should do it. It's only humiliating because of all the squawks talking crap on K-State's attendance since the mid 90s. That being said there is no way those renderings represents any capacity reduction.

Reading the phog it seems lots of hawk fans think a 50k stadium will be detrimental to their big 10 offer.

Was this actually proposed by a professional design firm or just some rival fan trolling?

You can’t even see the hill!

I went to see Mission Impossible and a damn football game broke out.

I hope KU paid no more than $5k to the Intern that ripped off TCU's stadium or HSK Dallas reusing its previous project. I even tried to paste near carbon copy images from google. (Look it up, you can find near identical vantage points from available media)

It appears like a pseudo Ryan field update/ Wrigley field update south of Addison that people lambast about that doesn't fit the neighborhood.

Looks like a major missed opportunity.

Its closer to SDSU in terms of the spikes, stadium layout (no big press box), decision not to "wrap" the stadium to cover the stands more extensively etc etc.

That said, I agree missed opportunity.

[sonofdaxjones]

TCU, Houston, San Diego State and a myriad of others.  That design concept is getting to be pretty cookie cutter at this point.

It removes the entirety of the collegial feel of original KU Memorial Stadium.  They might as well have just torn it down and started from scratch.

Did I miss something??? When have their attendance numbers been higher than ours?

[schreds21]

Probably that one year they were kinda good.

looks fine to me. Have the electrochromic glass so that you can instantly darken the room and have a projector screen come down in front of the glass for presentations. The screen lowering in front of a window isn't ideal but thats the trade off for a view of the stadium.

KU 46,784
KSU 47,383

Why is premium seating being positioned at the corner of the end zone, one of the worst spots to watch a football game?

[deputy dawg]

I agree and would like to see Mott The Hoople christen the old bird.

I like your sense of humor.  Ian Hunter just turned 84 a couple of months ago.

TCU Yes, Snapdragon eh

Pretty much never, but their stadium used to have a higher capacity

KSU's was a hole in the ground, etc.
