Many people are saying Manhattan, Kansas is the most elite location on planet earth

@kstatesports @KingJoel_3 🚨Major construction project update🚨👷‍♂️

@USMNT We’re getting grouped

@2024dion “Allowed”?

@AustinCEckert We also built our interpretation of the green monster in left field and made it look like a giant grey industrial warehouse. Pretty cool.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

The traditional boundaries of campus will always be defined by Anderson, Manhattan, Denison, and Claflin. We built the stadium where it is today on some super cheap farmland along Kimball and spent $1.5M in 1967 ($15M in today’s dollars). Still to the North it’s some office park and mostly farmland.

Imagine a world where we never left the K-State campus and built the most elite setting in college football!!!😈👀

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@jongrove02 The Vanier Complex elite training center would be where the Alumni Center is. The indoor would be where the natatorium and Ahearn Fieldhouse ancillary offices were located.

@cjkc_life09 Totally. Hosting the biggest international event in our city’s history is such a burden.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@TheRealBorisT @LifeofFitz Love it! Need those cathedral windows back too.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@justinackermann @LifeofFitz These badass college football stadiums on campus are basically like every school in the SEC or Big10 or Notre Dame. Parking and tailgating on campus is part of the appeal. In this case, we’re also walkable to the coolest bar district in the Big12.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@jongrove02 Yep. It would have been the most elite setting in the Big12.

Instead, we abandoned Ahearn and Old Stadium and dug two holes in a cow pasture on the outskirts of town for Bramlage and K-State football. Some of the most inane campus planning development in our school history.😢

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@FightLike36 Nope. We dug a hole in a cow pasture on the Northern outskirts of town.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@KUNed @LifeofFitz Yep!

@TheManhatter Rest assured Gene is committed to doing it the right way,

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

Every stadium in the SEC is on campus. Wisconsin. Notre Dame. This idea that we had to go dig a hole in a cow pasture and that was some great thing is a joke. We could have done the same thing and stayed at Memorial and not played in one of the biggest pieces of crap for 30 years.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

No crap. We acquired some cheap farmland, dug a hole and built a pseudo-high school stadium surrounded by gravel parking lots that we played in for 30 years. It was the joke of the Big8.

BSFS is decent now after a few hundred million. We could have done the same thing and stayed on campus and added to an already beautiful Memorial Field.

@manpow5 @John5tork Just not so much with the “winning”.

[Johnny Cobbler 🏆 @TopekaTalls]

@WyattWheeler_ One of two D1 schools in history to never win a National Championship in any major sport is “not gonna cheat”. 😂
