OwlFan Nathan McCreary sort of inadvertently broke the new last year. He mentioned in passing that KSU has purchased the old Brandsmart and a few adjoining properties with eventual plans to build a "mini Battery"..It would consist of a 25-30k seat football stadium, a new baseball stadium and a new softball stadium along with various retail, restaurants, and bars. This was several months before the CUSA news broke. After a little digging, a few of us confirmed the purchase of land and even a couple of rights of 1st refusal on a couple of more adjoining properties.
What we don't know is the timeframe, and how the CUSA move might speed it up or slow it down. We also don't know about the cost or funding, though it was said it was a KSU, private, and public venture..
As far as parking goes, we have never had to deal with a crowd over 9500, so really no idea of how it would work. I would assume the massive empty Town Center parking lots and shuttles would be part of the plan..
