Gorm, I suspect they'll start with the east side, which is pretty dreadful today. Maybe tear it down and start over with a move, as you say, of the field to the north, bringing the bowl closer, or, perhaps, taking those seats out as well and squaring off the stadium. The north exterior would remain.
It's good Ku is saving the old building. The site will be very nice when properly renovated. Cal fixed theirs, why not Ku? Both have a bunch of doctors and lawyers to fund it.
The bones of that old stadium are far better than what either ISU or, certainly, K-State started with prior to renovation. I guess if you don't give a crap about historically important structures, it wouldn't make much sense. But I certainly do. And I applaud Ku for not tearing it down for some new age cookie cutter structure like Baylor or Minnesota.
What do you mean by "bones?" It's old, we all know that but there it didn't look special at all when I was there for a game.
The north end facade is the primary feature that should be kept and improved. Also, they'll want to have the stadium open to the south, so their 'almighty' hill is in view; it's important to them.

Yes, it says "it's easier to raise $17 million before you try to raise $300 million". It's called basic accounting and good management.
Not sure that the Jayhawks have ever had this many fans at a real game. But yes, the North end façade is pretty cool.The north end facade is the primary feature that should be kept and improved.
