@jayballer67 How many damn tax dollars has the State of Kansas appropriated to K-State for their bovine frolicking?

DAM Farmer that looks so SWEET. so happy for these guys. People have to understand we need these type of facilities to keep up with the Jones. - We want top recruit’s to come in and visit and see we are invested into our football. - Looks fricken awesome.

-
@FarmerJayhawk sweetness!

Farmer, Makes me, old dude, wanna work out there

Any stadium renovation experts out there? I don’t think i ever grasped the scope of the project, and now i’m seeing photos (and live cams) of them pretty much tearing down most of the current stadium. I thought they were just putting up lights and stuff!
Anybody know the plan? thx

@rockchalkjayhawk it is a whole tear down and rebuild from the hill out to 11th! https://kugatewaydistrict.com/

I knew about the west side and bowl but is it a total tear down on the East side in phase two also ?

Phase 2 is a whole brand new stadium, and all the bells and whistles around it. The area won’t be recognizable

Well hell! Clueless me. Ha. Thanks, Farmer.
Impressive. I truly didn’t realize they were starting from the ground up (and out). Duh. Crazy.
That’s gonna look great. I’ll need to go read more about the timeline. About time, huh! Hopefully recruits are impressed, too.
-
Oh, where they gonna play next season?

@rockchalkjayhawk Arrowhead mostly but TBD

Mercy , had no idea - -really happy but didn’t realize. - -Hope we can get the fundings

I also did not realize how much they were tearing out. I thought they were tearing out seats to reconfigure that and make room for suites… etc. But did not expect the press box, field, apparently everything to go.
I left this question on twitter for Matt Tait but he hasn’t responded… maybe someone here knows the answer: The stadium is a WW1 memorial. What part of the memorial is going to remain (or be preserved)? Any of it??
-
@bskeet This is in the A Walk Through History section on the Gateway District info site about the renovation:
“The renovated David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will continue its cherished history by commemorating WWI as one of Kansas’ six war memorials. Details on the memorial will be released at a later date.”
Don’t know if this is old or still awaiting details.
-
Thank you. I had not seen that. Feel like that’s pretty important. Hope they don’t bury it just because it’s 100+ years old. I think the historical aspect of our campus is an asset and honoring those who have served should not be pushed downstream, to a footnote or token acknowledgment.

The entire west side and bowl are down!

Ya , like gone , gone all of it.- -Now clean up remains and then - - - - - -do we start rebuild now of those area’s ? - -I’m assuming so right?–everything down. - -I never would of thought they would of been working on weekends or days like the other day and then today with weather conditions like they are.

Dam not a single game at the Booth. - -Well will let them start early on Phase two then possibly
-
Kinda bummed we can’t play at Memorial next year but I get it. The actual games are very, very manageable. Thinking 10-2

Children’s mercy holds like 18k people, those tickets will be hot.

It makes no sense to play there, but whatever. There are going to be some pissed off STH that don’t get tickets.
