Our stadium remodel
-
@jayballer67 Nope, just enjoyed the irony of left field in a fb stadium!
-
Now that I live here I’m going to pester one of the city commissioners for numbers on how much it would affect Lovely Lawrence, Kansas and KU to knock the whole sucker over and rebuild instead of doing it in phases. Since apparently we’re going to spend 4ish games at Arrowhead next year.

Makes you wonder. You would think from hearing cost it couldn’t be a whole lot more and in the end think it just might be easier going that route. Hell hearing just for phase one the cost is now like what they say 450-500 Million ? - by the time phase two is complete your probably looking at another 300 Mill ?- Might be a very good idea Farmer - - isn’t going to happen, but after hearing projected numbers your right should of been just total tear down of what on TOS they are call the Ole Girl.
-
Wait, they’re trying to preserves some of that turd? Why? There is nothing of historical significance there. Knock it all down. You would think a billion dollar project would get you something completely new.
-
Maybe the foundation is worth saving, and if so they won’t have to do entirely new pile driving?
-
It’s called Memorial Stadium. It’s historic! Gotta keep at least a chunk of some part of it.
-
@DanR A monument to historic football ineptitude. Start completely over.

@dylans Tony Sands, Nick Reid, Gilbert Brown, Larry Brown, Anthony Collins, Nolan Cromwell, Bobby Douglass, Ray Evans, John Hadl, Chris Harris Jr, David Jaynes, Bruce Kallmeyer, Curtis McClinton, Mike McCormack, George Mrkonic, Willie Pless, Tod Reesing, Gil Reich, John Riggins, Gale Sayers, Otto Schnellenbacher, Oliver Spencer, Darrell Stuckey II, Aqib Talib and John Zook
These guys would probably take exception to that. There have been a LOT of good times and memorable moments there.
-
It is a war memorial to KU students who died in WW1 so there are some considerations there
-
@FarmerJayhawk What’s campanile tower for? Thought that was the monument. Different war?
I know the stadiums name, but the performances in there have been a sad way to memorialize anything. You can point to individual success and a couple bowl years, but it’s a pretty sorry 123 year history we have on the gridiron. That should ruffle your feathers. It’s unacceptable and hopefully Lance is the one to right the ship.

OMG OMG OMG! Can’t have Cromwell without Laverne Smith!

@mayjay Those are (were?) the names in the KU Football Ring of Honor
-
@dylans yep, the Campanile is WW2

The Campanile is the WWII memorial and the football stadium is the WWI memorial.
And Allen Fieldhouse is a munitions armory which is how it got approved to be built early in the Cold War.

Never knew that. I am very surprised Smith isn’t on it. He held the career and single season rushing record at KU for awhile.
-
@mayjay I sure could have overlooked it…
-
@nuleafjhawk No, they did.
-
@mayjay Wow!
-
Looking at the ugly ass boneyard rendering for the stadium and thinking maybe they should’ve just left it the way it was. Is it too late to take votes on the stadium plans like they did the ugly license plates Kansas was going to pick? Was there only one design to chose from? I get excited when I see the demo, then I see the rendering and get reminded this is KU football. Nothing goes well, even the new stadium build is a laughing stock. Ugg
