This is random but noticed that Kansas new stadium won't have a press box... for all those press box obsessed people in this thread.

I really like the design of the lights on this. Should be a pretty stadium, prettier than the play on the field for sure. Not sure why they wouldn't enclose the whole thing though, I guess to preserve the view of the empty hill?

No pressbox looks better than dinky-ass small-time little brother pressbox.

I'm not sure how I feel about their proposed lights. Apparently they represent "wheat". Could look cool though, hell I don't know.

Would be really nice to replace our dorky-ass erector set light structures. Would be cool as hell to replace those structures super tall "5 bar Jack Trice logo" shaped structures. THAT would be unique and cool.

Here I thought you were going to say “cornstalks”.

Also of note, they only have started 2/3 of the project. And that is coming in way over budget, and they have not secured the money to pay for even that yet. So the plan may never get totally finished and the old stands may not get done on the other side, from what is being rumored.

I assume there will be razor wire around the stadium on those arms above the upper deck. Gotta keep the KU fans from getting out when their team pisses another game down their leg...

I was about to say the same thing. They are(were) at least 100 million over budget and planned on making it up by more donations during their dream season that well didn’t happen.

Interesting. Pollard said there would be some kind of announcement later this month, and it’s the 29th, soooooo….
Pollard wasn't on Coaches Corner last night from what I could tell skipping through it quick. Was hoping he would give an update of some sort. I'll be pretty disappointed if we don't get any more news this year, love me some ISU infrastructure news.

I feel VERY confident that a video update will be out in 2024. Those at ISU "involved" are not sharing much, which is probably a good thing given it's pretty much Goldenrod's project now.
