Duh!
The thing is NFL and College Football are very different. The NFL roster size is half of the college rosters so they do not need the same size of weight rooms / training facilities etc. Also many do not train there in the off season, they have their own trainers and training facilities so in reality the facilities are used less than half the year. Also there is no need for the lounges / entertainment areas, these are adults that go home to their homes / families after practice, no need for the off practice time facilities. IMO justification why NFL facilities may not match college ones.
Agreed. Plus, CFB is “non-profit” and have to spend all the money, while the NFL is for profit and the money goes elsewhere.

So when they return to play there in '26 season only like 2/3 of the stadium will be complete I take it?
My bad, thought they were playing in Arrowhead for 2 years but looks like they will play back on campus in '25.

Those bar things around the whole stadium look weird as hell. Do they have to trap people inside to keep them from leaving early? Seriously, it looks weird and cheap.

I've heard it's designed to look like a bird cage... but it doesn't work, imo.

Those are the lights … best guess is they tried to make them look like wheat.

I think KU's stadium is pretty cool. I hope you all haven't forgotten KU is good now, gets fans at their games, and has won three-straight against us.

UNI announced that Phase II of the UNI-Dome Renovation will start in April with work being completed by August 2026. New seating will be in for the 2025 season and the Dome will be available for the full season. It will expand space on the sidelines, reduce capacity to approximately 12,250 and add suites, party decks and beer gardens to the West Side.

How she looks as of today

Other side has all metal bleachers now. Bathrooms on the near side are still terrible but they did replace the sinks I think.
