Dylan coming to town

The all glass façade is giving me major 2014 design vibes. Really over compensating for the request of natural lighting by previous UNL staff. There is a fine line between wanting nice natural lighting and then having an overwhelming uncomfortable feel to a space.

The perfectly rectangle box of glass on the west side of the building looks incredibly cheap and will look out-dated to the untrained eye in no less than 5-10 years.

Classic Nebraska blowing it. Cant remember the last time the university did something that was unanimously bad ass.

Shoulda gone for a mix between traditional, modern, and contemporary design to match the west stadium. Instead, tried to be hip and cool (which Nebraska is not and never will be) and put all their chips on some person designing the place with blue hair. I bet the chairs in the building will be from IKEA.

I live in the fourth biggest city Houston and recently been to Austin Dallas and Chicago. If you think new glass Design is lame and not a factor in major metro building design… you’re spending too much time in Fargo or something.

Well, Dominic said he has been to every facility in the country, and he said Nebraska's will be the best of the best. So.....5:15 N
 
Well considering im 24 i think i can resonate with them pretty well....it looks like a person who is 40 designed it trying to be hip and cool....which in fact.....makes it not hip and cool

Will obviously be better than what we have now....but when spending $155M on a structure that will likely be there for the next 50 years minimum.....really went a bit overboard on the trendy design touches that will be obsolete and cheugy in 10 years. There is a reason why we dont tear down 150 year old stadiums....they were designed to last a century and built like the roman coliseum. This on the other had was built like my local 7-11.

Same thing with the new COB on campus. Nice and functional yes, but ugly and in 20 so years you will be sctraching your head thinking why is there a giant glass cube connected to that building. Shoulda built it to match the West stadium façade with modern touches. Blew it
You will be 40 in a very very short 16 years and your opinion will be useless to all the too cool 24 year olds. Lighten up dude.

I think you were looking for the word relate, because quite frankly no one cares if YOU can resonate with 18-24 year olds. We aren't counting on you to sell the recruits.

Anyone who has an issue with the facilities can always scratch a check for millions of dollars and I'm sure they will be more open to listen to your suggestions. ;)
 
When they made the plans for the new facilities, didn’t they do their due diligence on what would be appealing and what wouldn’t? Pretty sure it wasn’t just some 40 year old unilaterally saying, “This will knock their socks off.”

I like how they toured all the best in the nation and asked the kids what they wanted and incorporated all of it N. They also have the ability to expand in 5 to 10 years.

Not a big surprise, he and the family are visiting their top schools during Spring Practice. If the visit goes well I'd also expect him back for the Spring game. And other recruits will likely be there for that Spring game to take in the atmosphere and see for the first time what the team might look like in simulated game conditions. Spring game especially is important for Nebraska since there's no prior game tape with the new coaching staff. Georgia and USC of course have last season's games to study.
I thought Dom already stated they were going to be here for the spring game

I really think Paul Allen would’ve wanted an Art Deco design.

His business card is what the lay person would refer to as the timeless and classy color, ‘bone’.

Anybody who has a problem with prior or current coaches or any coaching decision can write a check for millions im sure they will be more open to listen to your suggestions....lmao with that logic you cant comment on anything. what is your IQ
 
I work with a company that is based in Jersey City, NJ - their boardroom is on the 43rd floor overlooking Hudson Bay and lower Manhattan...just an incredible view, really pleasant to look out of. But its HORRIBLE for meetings and conferences, as I really just want to look outside at the amazing view of the city and everything there is to see - very hard to concentrate in there, I definitely am distracted.

I would think some sort of workout facility with that type of view would be kind of distracting. Not saying you need to have some sort of decrepit alleyway for a view, but for someone like me, that view would be extremely hard to ignore, would not foster peak performance for me.

You sound like the kind of guy that sees a hot chick and tells everyone around you how her tits will be saggy in 20 years.
 
So incredibly stupid. Can't believe this is where we are today in the college game.
When you consider how much money is made by the top programs, it all makes perfect sense. Until millions of people stop loving college football, going to games, watching games, and by merch, it will be a money machine
 
So because i called out a flaw in your logic you resort to trying to make my comment invalid by saying youre older than me...hmm ya makes sense. Back to your cubicle buddy
I hope it is! Just my personal opinion...isnt that the point of this board....to voice our opinion...yall need to chill

Your opinion is that recruits won’t like it. When people disagree with your opinion, you don’t handle that very well, resorting to insults.

You don’t have to be so offended when people disagree with you. It’s a message board. Yall need to chill.

Haha not sure how living in HTX is a flex but ok bra you’re clearly keeping those Dallas stereotypes strong…
 
24 is ancient to 17 or 18 year old kid.

Shit I remember showing some up to some of my electives with 21 and 22 year old upper classmen in it and they were living off campus, sometimes with significant others, or even kids. Worried about getting real jobs and all kinds of shit.

Completely different mentality takes place in the span of a few years.
