So.... Fifty Million Dollars
« on: September 14, 2010, 05:54:25 PM »
Seems like this thing might finally happen. Look, I know we've all gotten used to OBFS looking like a giant erector set, complete with the SD-dubbed West Side Box of Suck that was clearly inspired by the Jetsons and the fine art of Stucco, also know as "slopping some gooey sh-t all over it and calling it good".

But it seems with this sudden willingness by our new front office to act like big kids and spend money we don't have yet like everyone else does, we're actually going to get some elite shiny stuff in the near future.

But what exactly do YOU what to see get done? We know the stucco spaceport is getting revamped (demolished and done gooder this time) but what do you want to see? Keep the stucco theme, or do we maybe go with what every other building around seems to be made of and throw some limestone in there? Do we go the other way and embrace the stucco theme, complete with giant stucco wall all around the stadium and a giant stucco old balls statue on top of Vanier in place of the 56 inch box set tv we have sitting there now that nobody looks at anyways? Gold-plated shitters? More aluminum bleachers around the top of the stadium? Giant stucco KatPak head? Super serious answers only please.

Just duplicate your east side on the west side and I'll be uber-jealous. Expand your concourses too... we have 50k in our stadium as well and nowhere near as much congestion. We pushed our concessions 20 feet farther out from the stands, and it has worked pretty well during games at capacity.

Hav's . . . I hate to tell you this, but what is being bantered about will absolutely blow away anything that Iowa State has done.



Don't worry, I witnessed the renovation of Kinnick Stadium.

Yeah, but adding 15,000 empty seats might not be the best way to generate revenue and stuff.

Not according to the super-smart economists at KStatefans.

We should reduce seats, IMO.

We could use some of the money to buy blow up dolls to fill the empty seats.  That way it would look sold out every game!

ISU's South  Endzone project is estimated at 60mil, and it's not that great... so don't get your hopes up. 50 mil doesnt go as far as it used to.

At the minimum, I'd like to see the north endzone capped and have an elite tunnel for our guys to exit through. If there is enough left over, we upgrade the jumbotron... or if we don't have enough for a new jumbo, we just buy Tejas' hand-me-down, i'm sure we can get a good deal on it at their annual garage/yard sale.
We are K-State and we love to hire SHlTTY coaches.

We have competent construction companies, architects and engineers locally. Unfortunately, you have to import them into Iowa.

Sweet jesus. I have no idea what our "club level" looks like, though.
