They will never play in Ahearn again, so might as well drop that pipe dream. Never will be up to code for B-ball.
Tearing it down & building a replica with modern amenities...I could definitely get on board with that!

Maybe that was the real mistake, trying to go modern. We had something very very unique and very fun. I'm sure a lot of recruits came to play in Ahearn. And so many crazy stories. Everybody stomping in the bleachers and packed to the rafters. I knew some guys in college in the late 70s who rented a wheel chair and one pretended to be an invalid and the other pushed him in. They both got to watch the KU game courtside. Everybody, mail and female had their blowbacks. Some wore Izods, others had the flannel shirts with vests, blue jeans and hiking boots. Plenty of Levi 517s with cowboys boots and puffy western coats as well. It was a great time to go to college, and I don't think it got any better than K-State in those days. Ahearn was like nothing else I have ever experienced.
Ahearn was unique, so loud. My ears hurt after the game against OU and Billy Tubbs in 1988, the loudest at any BB game I've attended.
