And of course UK has never, ever done things like that in their recruiting.

Nah, we use top shelf. In every sense. :nana:

Between their adulterer basketball and football coaches I'm not sure how this is a surprising story to anyone.

The whole campus reeks of Crown Royal, cheap sex, and no shame.

Wish the whole city would just fall off and float over to Indiana. :doublebird:

Kentucker, what kind of old structure painting are they doing? I have seen the new photo of the back of the scoreboard, which leaves a lot to be desired, but was wondering if they were refreshing any other exterior parts of the stadium with new paint and graphics.

I bet the size tag in that pull over reads "Circus Tent".....

I don't think another tower would be completed on the north side as it would require demolition of the new facade. I don't believe it has been constructed to emulate the south side in the future, but I'm not for sure on that.

I believe any future updates/expansion will take place in the endzones. Not much new construction has taken place on the exterior and interior updates would not be effected as much.

Honestly I see them performing expansions on the top level by removing the old "trailer" suites and jumbotrons and adding in a variety of suite/club/general seating options much like the recent LSU expansion. Of course on a smaller scale. This would allow for replacement and addition of more suites, expand club seating options, while also adding in a little more general seating to appease those that were upset from the recent capacity decrease.

If this were to be performed in the future capacity could increase anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 depending on if they did one or two endzones putting the overall capacity somewhere in the 67,500 to 72,500 range with about 115-125 suites total in the stadium. All complete estimations, but I think it would be close to those numbers.

Also, the newest aerial photos of Commonwealth Stadium. It still looks like a mess around the stadium, but let it be noted that the new $45 million football only training facility is also under construction right beside the stadium, as well a complete overhaul of Alumni Drive (widening and new turnabouts) to the south of the stadium. Pretty much all work left on the stadium itself is interior finishing and exterior footprint work.

Admin. says it will be ready to go by the first game, but some things will still be in the finishing stages for a couple of weeks after the start of the season. Final paint and touch up work mainly.

the entire area around the stadium is going to have a completely different feel to it. Anyone that has been to a game at UK before will definitely notice a new and improved venue from all aspects.

We're finally getting football facilities to be proud of here at UK. May not be the largest, but they will certainly be top notch.

He's almost there.

WTF, You're the Blue Grass state!!!

And your point?

It doesn't matter what our state is called. Cold weather is gonna kill the grass in the later part of the year. Ask pretty much any player and I'm sure they'd take playing on a turf surface if the alternative is playing on stubbed grass that gives hardly any cushion in 40 degree weather. Helps the players and improves the football game.

Also, you probably think all the grass in the state is actually blue, don't ya?

Based on the photo evidence I'm gonna just stereotype the lot and call y'all a bunch of jackasses.
