It's going to be nice when it's done, no doubt.

I will not step off my tearing down an historic stadium relative to history (not performance on the field) to build a MLS clone stadium soapbox . . . ever.

Particularly in light of what other schools have done with their historic stadiums. 

The lights while cool - are still a bit cheesy. That's a "build a MLS stadium out in a outlet store area with a Bucee's" look.  Not in keeping with building a stadium in the middle of a 175 year old college campus.

it’s definitely MLS 1000% and I think a big part of that decision is due to KC hosting the 2026 world cup.

Galvanizes why it’s called memorial stadium, in this case memorializing the 2026 FIFA World Cup and I think that’s swell!

What I don’t particularly like, is that whenever this The Streak comes to an end, good chance its going to happen in what appears to be a soccer stade. History Awaits!

I don't look forward to the streak ending, but I do look forward to all the "we've overtaken kstate" talk.

I hadn't really thought about it that much, but seeing the bare facts laid out like that, it really does paint a stark contrast between a respected institution accelerating its progress in research and scholarship, on the one hand, and a waning Cowtown Community College, on the other hand.

The Ernie Barrett statue beckons.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Hmmm, interesting charts.

But it seems he's failed to take into consideration that KU sucks complete crap and ballsacks, while K-State completely rules. Curious omission to say the least.

From the phog thread about that tweet. Is this some lore I'm unaware of or is this just normal weirdo phog crap?

What in the world are those weirdos talking about now?

I digress . . .



Altimore (who has blocked me  :lol: ) is one of those people who doesn't understand the nuances of the reports and the reporting periods.

For Fiscal Year '24 (July '23 to  June '24) K-State did have $88m in expenses.  For calendar year '24 (Jan to Dec) K-State had $103 million in expenses. Also note that during the FY'24 period K-State Athletics was $18.9m in the black. For Calendar Year '24, K-State was only $1m in the black. 

KU has taken down most if not all of their financial reports and didn't post their audited financial statement for FY 24, so I am sure it's all fun with numbers. Remember, this is the same school that used "forgiven debt" (Lew's bullshit plan to fund the student rec center) as a operational revenue line item, and that and funding from Strong Hall was the only thing that allowed them to finish in the black that FY.

I'm sure if the stadium project ever gets FOIA'd it'll make Rock Chalk Park financing and contracts look like mere child's play.

their partly new stadium is looking good. the crews have busted ass and it appears like it’s going to be ready for kickoff. i’m genuinely happy for our lil jayhawk bros and looking forward to seeing the place irl in late october.

funny thing is that they still have kivisto’s name on the turf

Dang good for Tom. Dude still shines with KU despite a bankruptcy described by one court administrator as Enron Lite with Tom at the helm.
