If I remember right, wasn't West Virginia's stadium exactly like ours when first built? Then later added to.

WVU's Milan Puskar Stadium is also very similar - I seem to remember that before it was expanded, it was almost identical to JTS.
lol, everyone here must really consider me an ***. I'm not sure anyone reads anything I post at all. :biglaugh:
I suspect that the architects, HHN, designed Kentucky's first, then bid on our project with the same general plan, then also got the WV project with our blueprints. West Virginia's was indeed almost identical to ours, I believe, as both stadiums' lower decks are sunken in, on earthen berms.
We are certainly behind both in expansion since then...
I was looking for better pics :biggrin: - I couldn't find it on the WVU athletics site. I remember it being Mountaineer Field, not Milan Pusker (a big time donor?) Sorry for the dupe :biglaugh:
No worries. I thought it was hilarious actually.
I suppose, with a name like Milar Puskar, you better have some cash.
Yeah the sides of the WVU stadium are nearly identical.
YEah, this picture below actually kind of freaked me out when I saw it. At a quick glance, that could be JTS.

It really is apparent that the Jake is actually in the way of any cool expansion...
Yeah, I think if the time came though that the right plan could actually incorporate it nicely. It wouldn't take much to incorporate it nicely. The big problem is that I see is that the Jake's architecture doesn't really go with JTS that well. They should have modeled it a little more after Hilton and it might have flowed a bit better.
Holy crap- ignore the hill in the foreground, and you're freaking looking at Jack Trice! That's really uncanny...

Great find!
Couldn't you add a lower north bowl and essentially built it into the Jake with the current viewing/patio area turned into real suites. Bowling it up to the Jake on the east and west side would hide it's small stature. Still have the goofy roof however.
Seating is going to be decided by money, not how it looks on TV. If Jamie can sell the east side tickets to the public for more than he can sell the end zone tickets to the public, do you think he'll let the students stay where they are and not take money that's just sitting there waiting to be taken? Not a chance.
