  • Which of these improvements would you like to see made to our athletic facilities?

    Answer and discuss. Keep in mind that with the new Y, it will be interesting to see how the Heskett Center is sustained. Intramural sports and indoor track can only justify so much.

    What I would want is a dedicated volleyball facility, but I'm pretty sure '72, moose and I can't afford it.

    The only thing I think we should be spending money on is men's basketball, so I'll say the first one.

    What I fear is a remodel of Cessna for something I cannot believe might happen.

      Volleyball Facility. Woman’s Basketball can also play their games there. If either team needs a bigger seating section, they can play in Koch.

      Tear down Cessna. Build a dedicated track facility. No more high school football. Move all the throwing events inside the new stadium.

          It would be nice if we had a venue for women’s VB and WBB with about 4-5k seats. However, I voted for remodel of Cessna Stadium. It is worn out and looks terrible. It’s the only part of the campus that looks like crap. Besides, as WuDrWu stated, he can’t afford a new VB venue so there goes that option.

            OK, posting the image isn't working. It shows up in the preview and when I post it, but disappears when I refresh....
            Picture Austin Powers saying "Frickin Laser Beams".
            Yeah, loses a lot that way. Sorry!

                  This poll is under the assumption we will not get football anytime soon

                    My comment does not refer to the possible return of football. Check PM tonight.

                      Remodel Heskett for new volleyball facility, bigger pool too...maybe indoor track if possible/room. New Y on campus has basically same workout facilities as Heskett anyway.

                      Upgrade Cessna...way too many Kansas high school kids each year via State Track meet see this. Its pretty much an eyesore...I nice facility could be a good recruiting tool for increased students/enrollment.

                          Even though I am NOT a soccer fan, it makes a lot of sense. Gives us a fall sport, seems to be popular in the area, and fairly cheap to roll out.

                            Maybe we are getting an XFL franchise?

                              Per this March 2019 article. soccer was the one sport left on the table for adding following the evaluation of the athletic program / bringing back football:
