knapplc Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 It's not a tunnel for human use. It's a sewer, from what the construction guy told me. It enters the sewer system near Avery Hall, about 20 feet from the outside of the new structure. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well thats a sh!tty way to get to the stadium. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I thought it was part of the footing for the building. Big building needs a big base. But sewer...interesting. Quote Link to comment

jonnyhuska Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Heres a pretty rough sketchup(on paint) that I made on what I hope the stadium looks like in a few years. What do you guys think?? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Those are all right, Johnny. I don't know if your one step further idea is feasible since they have classroom space over there on the south side now (where the offices and ticket office used to be), and while I like the idea of wrapping the facade around the SE corner, I think the space between the stadium and Avery is too narrow to allow it.

This. There's barely space for a "street" thing there (pathway, whatever you want to call it). But the south stadium upper deck is feasible and is probably our only option for expansion left, unless, way in the future, we add a north stadium upper deck which would involve taking out those suites and the big screen and moving them. So that is way unlikely anytime soon. Quote Link to comment

Bah, avery can be moved its a pretty cool to think about. I really wish they would change the west stadium facade to match what they are going to be doing with the brick and all. For some reason it bugs the sh#t out of me that they aren't keeping the same look. But I'm sure it will look fine. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I want it all to be enclosed. Quote Link to comment
VprHis Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I only skimmed the thread, so I apologize if I happen to re-tread old ground, but I think recent stadium expansions have done a disservice to the fans. I would love to see an expansion accompanied with a (modest) decrease in ticket prices. Let's face it: the new seats are hardly optimally placed, and much of the actual profit from the games is generated by concessions and memorabilia sales, both of which would get a healthy boost from the greater access afforded by increased stadium capacity and concomitant increase in "casual" fan access and buy-in. Unfortunately, the ridiculous cost of the expansion, and the rising cost of simply operating the program probably relegate the idea to the land of "Not feasible." Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hay guys. I have a better idea than all ya'll. Let's add a dome! Quote Link to comment
typ3kal Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don't know if I would say tickets are prohnibitvely expensive. You're going to pay a comparable amount to get in the door at any big program spare the garbage programs like Minnesota. Why lower the price to accommodate the regular joe schmo? You can't tell me a person who barely can afford tickets is going to spend tons of money on concessions and apparel. Your argument doesn't really hold water. The university is like a business. It wouldn't make sense to for ford to lower the price on all F-150s just so more people could buy them. Not to mention the stadium is sold out already. If it weren't filling I would say you're completely right. Yet it is in a businesses' interest to maximize revenue and profit. I am not sure how people feel they need to complain about the price. I am out of state in a professional program and I work for my money (no loans or debt) and I still manage to scrape together the money to get back for one or two games. Figure out your priorities and forego a few vices. Quote Link to comment
talaricohusker Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Any one have any more updates or pictures of how the construction is going? Quote Link to comment
