Stadium Expansion

[Sam Spade]

You're awesome Knapp!

Kansas State has been working on their stadium for a while. They're turning it into a castle.

Awesome Knapp! Ask and ye shall receive! Looks like they have started the brickwork on the north side of the expansion, very cool.

Aesthetically it's a nice addition for them, really matches the rest of campus, in particular Nichols Hall. Not sure they'll be able to sell all the additional suites et al.

The Arena first this week.

 

Looking NE from the parking lot of the Amtrak station:

Looking NW from 7th street just south of the post office

Looking SW from the foot of the Haymarket foot bridge:

 

 

 

 

 

And the stadium:

 

From the veranda north of Bessey Hall:

 

From the west side of the Coliseum:

 

From Ed Weir Track:

 

And a few from inside the stadium, to give an idea of progress on this side.

 

The way it looks right now this expansion should help keep noise in the stadium and make the place louder.

Knapp, you sir deserve a nice cold 6 pack from every member of HuskerBoard for all the work and great pictures you have shared with us over the last year on this project. From this Husker fan I will just simply say thank you. Your efforts to giving all of us these wonderful updated pictures every week is very much appreciated.

So the model/rendering of the future Barry's shows the rooftop bar being as such where you can look down over the street, but when I look at the construction, it looks like there isn't going to be this option as they are basically making a rooftop room. Does anyone know how that is all going to work up there? I'm really hoping it is going to end up like it is portrayed in the rendering.

They are starting to put the roof trusses in over at the arena. Check out here.

Are they also going to sell tiny cheeseburgers?

That's retarded?! Where's the connection there??? Have no idea how a castle themed stadium goes with the Wildcats...................then again it is KSUcks.

Matches a lot of the architecture on the campus. For example:

 

 

Nichols Hall.

 

However, the underlying premise that KSU sucks still stands.

Ah, never been there so I wouldn't know about their other buildings.

Heard that they would not get approved for a liquor license if a rooftop bar was part of the final plan. Lincoln is very strict when it comes to liquor licenses (i.e. name one other open rooftop bar in Lincoln. There isnt one.) So they probably have to make it an enclosed room up there with no alcohol on any outdoors portions of the upstairs.

Wow. Lighten up a little, Lincoln.
