Jack Trice Stadium Expansion

[deputy dawg]

went to a game there back in early 2000's.  kind of resembled WSU's football stadium except with an upper deck.  good to hear renovations are coming.

p.s. can we borrow some money from you ISU?

You're athletic budget is already slightly larger than ours...

You should be humiliated by this

We go back and forth between 10th and 11th as far as budget goes.

Who's last if not you or us    Bylor?  Tech?

I think Tech actually has a lot of money.

ISU fans are excited because of Rhoades.  Expansion makes sense and goes nicely with the Cyclones climbing over the back of a dumpy ku program.

I've been to all the North stadiums and most of the South ones (not Tech, OU, or aTm).  The only stadiums worse than Jack Trice are the stadiums in Waco and Lowrents.  The facilities in both of those places are embarrassingly bad, JT Stadium has a distinct advantage in that department.

The cartoon drawing actually makes Jack Trice Stadium way nicer than it actually is (and yes, I realize the drawing includes the expansion). 

When were you last at Jack Trice? The concourses were renovated between 2007-2009, and suites were added on the west side below the upper deck in 2007. There are many more restrooms and concession stands in the stadium, and many aesthetic changes to improve the overall Gameday experience at Jack Trice Stadium.

I think it was 2007.  I said you had better facilities than those other two, yeesh.  The only gameday experience I noticed was the fire truck parade or whatev that was.

You didn't care for the firetruck entrance? Pfft

I drove by KU's Memorial Stadium yesterday, and its gotta be the most hidden stadium in all of college football. We were randomly driving through a neighborhood and just happened to go past it. I guess thats a good thing. The fact that all athletic facilities are south of campus except the football program kinda makes me wonder if they'd rather just get rid of football all-together.

They've tried, but Mangino was too tricky/cheaty.  Gill should finally do it though.

I love KU's football stadium.  The fact that it isn't in a giant parking lot surrounded by pig sh*t is a huge plus as well. 

Parking must suck in Lawrence? How is the tailgating?

ISU's lots are surrounded by a Golf Course, Campus, a Neighborhood, Reiman Gardens, Hilton, and our football practice facilities; he must be talking about some other school.

You call that a stadium renovation?

[Emo EMAW]

Did they ever build that thing?

I don't have time to read this whole thread, but someone give me cliffnotes.  Is this expansion stuff about swelling due to water damage, or are they finally putting backs on the bleachers at Jack Trice?

I do like how there are old folks there that wait for your tailgating group to throw enough cans on the ground and then they swoop in and pick all of them up for you for the $2.45 they get back in deposit fees.

Probably the most disgusting way to make money ever.

Havs, with K-State being so god damn elite, we hear grumblings of the next steps of renovation/expansion to BSFS everyday.. and most of them are true.. what are you hearing about JTS? tia

Not hearing much, unfortunately. Given my love of athletic facilities, its a huge bummer.

Havs, you could use a good coaching scandal to prod your AD into being a little more transparent.

Not when full... every single game.

You know crap is going poorly when a D2 school makes fun of your "stadium upgrades."  I mean, honestly, I have no idea what city NDSU is even located in (I assume there are more towns in that state than just Fargo, but I'm not 100% sure about that.)  and they even think the gridiron club is a rough ridin' joke.

what's even funnier is the fact that a D2 school has more national titles than "elite" KSU, talk about laughing out rough ridin' loud!!!
