One has to wonder what the court might look like if Bramlage didn't have such a crappy lighting system.

Talk about something that needs to be overhauled.

Meh. I'm saving my meltdown for when the press box expansion gets "gridiron club'd"

Sadly, I'm not sure I even have the energy to melt down about K-Stateo things anymore. E.Z.o.D. pretty much broke me.

This most definitely. Watched the Cats in Vegas at the Orleans. They had some very elite type of lighting. Not sure of the type of lighting. Would have to ask Scubot as he is the goEMAW lighting expert. They were able to turn the lights completely off for entrances, fireworks, etc. Then flip the light switch back on. Boom! Let's play some ball.

Back to the "need really good lighting" discussion.

We should all keep in mind that it could always be worse. We could be Oregon.

With KSU asking for feedback, I wonder if they're open to doing anything about it.

Actually like the dark wood. Also, can't believe no one has called

on all you detractors.

Will be interesting to see how this looks on TV. In some pictures, it looks really good, in others a bit dark/muddy and blends in too close w/ the purple lanes. But overall, a classy design. Could still be improved, but I'm happy. 8/10 for me too.

The lights seem more "gloom and doomy" IMO. Multiple Big XII opponents have complained about having to adjust to the crappy lighting.

My opinion is, it could have done without the darkened area, but it really isn't that bad.

Otherwise the sidelines, smaller powercat etc. etc. are really good.

I don't even have a comeback for that one, it's a sore subject. I thought letting Blueville handle everything this year would have things looking better, but so far it looks worse. $200 water bill last month too

As bad as my lawn looks, this court looks worse.

Gotta say, that Briggs logo is really growing on me.

No kidding. You people that think you know more about running an athletic department than John Currie make me laugh really, really hard.

Gradients in logo design are very underappreciated.
