New Facility = Eye sore
- Thread starter CornHusker_635
- Start date
I think we should get mad and call each other names about it. Oops, got that covered.
TLDR thread. Did someone say we should have used the money for NIL instead, yet?

Some people feel REALLY strongly about exterior building materials.
Wrong, the 1st part is to be done in mid to late July or early August.
The way this building looks is one of those things that I truly do not care about. I won't be seeing it every day. I won't even be seeing it more than maybe a couple times a year when I visit for a game day. I'll walk by, go 'oh cool, it's open and functional' and then not think about it again until the next time I happen to walk by it.
It's not done yet. Have you seen the renderings? It's going to be fantastic Relax, dude.
By the way, I just phoned in a prescription of high powered chill pills to your local pharmacy.
Too bad it started in Iowa. 😂 They have stores in 17 states.
I think you may need to look at the campus a little closer.
The new facility is surrounded by the Old Coliseum/Military Naval and Science, Morrill Hall, Bessy Hall, Avery Hall, the new business college, Oldfather Hall, and the Stadium. Except for Morrill and Bessy, none of these buildings looks like any of the others, so matching never seemed to be in the cards.
I'm sure it'll be beautiful when it's done. College campuses rarely have matching buildings because many of them are historical and won't be torn down. The UNL campus is a montage of buildings dating back to WWI, through the 50s and 60s, the modern and cheap architecture of the 70s, and the overblown opulence of post 90s construction.
Careful - he has a tendency to label those smarter than him as “low intelligence”.Fixed it for you.

To be analytically correct, Covid hitting didn't slow anything down or cause prices to rise. It was peoples' insane reaction to it fueled by herd mentality, groupthink, and mainstream media and social media pushing for a dystopian society that caused the upheaval.
Depends on the wind direction but if it’s that cold they’ll likely be inside anyway. I get the idea of practicing in the elements but at some point it’s tough to hold a practice if it’s too miserable.
I think you meant "historical" buildings.
You probably should be more "outraged" by the fact that the "historical" west Memorial Stadium was completely covered up by a new facility in 1999, the "historical" north Memorial Stadium was completely covered up by a new facility in 2006, and the "historical" east Memorial Stadium was completely covered up in 2013 (which is now being obstructed by part of the new practice facility).
The south side of Memorial Stadium was completed in 1970 and is total straight line, sharp edges, cheap 1960s architecture, so it's probably hard to call that "historic" and it'll probably be torn down and replaced during the next 5-10 years.
BTW, the new business college doesn't look like Morrill or Bessy hall either.
At the end of the day I don't really care but at the same time when I first saw the image I was surprised they chose to have the main entrance stick out that far from the rest of the building 'covering up' some of the stadium.
is this the same architect nerd who came on last year ripping the designs apart? saying we needed better throw pillows in the lounge and we would be the laughing stock of the new building schools because we went cheap on the designers?
The new facility could be shaped and painted like a Bud Light can and I would not give a shit so long as we win football games. If this new facility helps us recruit the players we need to win games then I support it no matter its architectural style or if it has pictures of Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the base of every urinal. I am so tired of losing. Tired of excuses. Tired of winning the offseason. Tired of hearing about how we are rocking it in the transfer portal.
Just ****ing win for a change. How about that? That would be even newer than the new facilities.
And please, for the love of all that is Husker Holy, can we implode south stadium and start over?

I am desperate for NU to become relevant too. I'm not getting any younger. Still, doesn't mean the new facility has to look like the Flying Nun's habit.
It really is no part of the stadium and just wait until it is all complete. It will be unreal inside & out!!
You may want to change the title of your thread sonny boy
The facility could look like tinkerbell’s vagina for all I care.. just win baby
Just wish people would wait till it’s finished before judgement and bitching when it is’t even completed yet..
