thus, i thought this picture might be interesting to some here.
many of you have visited this stadium in lawrence ...
- Thread starter AVeritas
- Start date
Hmmm…… I don’t see any difference from last time I was there.
oh, i do. it's not filled with red.
Probably why they need to reduce capacity, not enough people decked out in red to support the stadium.
I used to work on the hill (sorry, "Mount") above the stadium, in Stauffer-Flint Hall. Thanks for the photo, @AVeritas
yeah, it's a huge project that happened only because our kansas governor gifted ku $80 million in the guise of economic development. it will certainly be a huge upgrade over their former memorial stadium which reminded me of east german architecture with 19th century sanitation. the new stadium will seat around 40,000.
This looks like a prison camp. Is there razor wire on those poles
Only happened because of tbe
You are dead wrong if you think that's only way this happened.
not only did the governor give ku football reno an $80 million welfare payment the school itself gifted $150 million from its endowment both of which were precedent setting.
Even your own governor picks KU, while Kansas State, Wichita State and Emporia State are relegated to the 2nd tier. Go Shockers?
Cow shit. Sorry to have confused you. The place smells like cow shit.
that's a false narrative. many stadiums today are led equipped including k-state's. and they certainly don't look like the ku stadium rendering.
Maybe in person it will look really neat, but for now i agree with the prison compound/ugly comments.
Man I knew they sucked but this seems like an extreme punishment.thus, i thought this picture might be interesting to some here.
Still about 20,000 more seats than they need in that pic.
Is that the same scoreboard from 2007?! Yikes. I can still see 76-39 KU on that thing. How much does KU want for it?! I'll buy it and make it fish habitat at Big Mac.thus, i thought this picture might be interesting to some here.
OP why are you on the Nebraska board? We’re in the big 10 we don’t play ku anymore my advice go on the kst board
Sad thing is that game is the one and only Husker away game I’ve been to. On a good note, I didn’t see the final score on the scoreboard cause we left at halftime, went back to our tailgate and watched other games. Glad to see it go.
Is the new stadium going to be completed by this Fall?? If not, where will they play games? Arrowhead?
Oh sad that was your only away game. 😂
In an alternate universe you would hope that the Huskers putting up 39 points would always mean we had a good chance to win.
2025 completion. Yes Arrowhead and Children's Mercy the first two.
Your stadium's a baseball throw away from the sh#t laundry creek by Cornhusker Hwy and your throwing shade?
I've I've never known KU stadium to smell like that in the hundreds of games I have been to.
Nobody on here is comparing our stadium or our history of our football program to yours so relax and don't be so insecure.

Yes...it's kinda like comparing PBA to Allen Fieldhouse. Both are very nice for different reasons but there's no comparison. That said, the new stadium in Lawrence will be a huge upgrade for a program that is trending upward.
Not at all insecure - I’m not comparing anything at Kansas to Lincoln. That would be pointless. I’m just saying that my memories of the stadium at KU are of Nebraska scoring at will and a run down place that smells like piss and cow shit. If your mileage varies, good for you.
