Maybe we could get the press box sponsored and have a big sign that says "Des Moines Register Press Box!"![]()
I'd prefer getting a sponsor who could afford more than a double wide trailer hoisted on top of the existing pressbox.

I'm looking forward to the first time I get to see a night game with the ribbon boards as well as the two video boardsMultiple people on the ribbon board. You can go back and look, I'm not going to hold your hand through it.
Actually laughed out loud at my office desk, now people want to know what's so funny. Good one.Maybe we could get the press box sponsored and have a big sign that says "Des Moines Register Press Box!"![]()

The big thing with a new pressbox (similar to K-State, Texas Tech, Minnesota, etc.) isn't really the press space, but the Athletic Director's ability to sell more premium space (suites, club seats, loge boxes, etc.) to corporations. Product on the field or not, a business having a presence like that in a venue where 61,000 potential customers are in a confined space can be a very good business decision, and in return, a money-maker for a university, if the commitment is available up front.
Cadillac didn't build their new endzone club at KU because of the product on the field, but rather, to get eyeballs from the 20k in the stadium. Down the road from Lawrence, K-State built their new West Stadium Center (suites, club seats, and press row) because they know they only have a few years left of Snyder and needed to find as many revenue sources as possible to sustain success when he is no longer coaching. Donors lined up once the plan was in place and John Currie began fundraising.
Start donating for it. Give everything you have. Make the dream come true.

Yeah... This is great end zone seating indeed. Like someone said.. the old bleachers we had were a better look.
There's really nothing noteworthy about Ku's stadium other than inexpensive seat availability for visiting fans. The place is a dump.

That press box gives me a huge boner. Let's trade stadiums IMO.![]()
The setting is really cool but the facility leaves quite a bit to be desired.
KU could use a TCU-type makeover or completely rebuild on the same site. Play at Arrowhead for a year . . .

The setting is really cool? Okay? I've been there. There was absolutely nothing about that place that I thought was cool by DI standards.
This is what I mean.
By setting, I mean campus being on a hill overlooking the stadium, and the area generally being surrounded by trees and grassy area.

Obvious photoshop. There's never been that many fans in the place.
