Rough on ya, eh? Well, have to tell you that if you think you're losing something now, you'd puke in your mouth if you know what's already been lost.
The hill's been dead for years, bro. They killed it with the end zone bleachers and scoreboard. When I was still in High School in the 80's, back when the Hawks and K-State played the unofficial "Toilet Bowl" each year to determine which team would win their only game, hundreds gathered on the hill to watch the fun, pulling beers from coolers and loving life.
But, the University, in their infinite wisdom, blocked the view when the university became dry to make the bar and restaurant lobby happy. Thank the cardboard mansion invasion that started at the time. Go West Lawrence and the Gap! Never thought it'd be possible to actually gentrify a university town, but they did it.
So, don't be sad. What died was already a corpse. The new facilities (more than offices, bro) will be a boon for the program. It's going to be nice reaping the lasting rewards of investing $25 million on the program. We're not going away any time soon.
