Construction crew, OSU community prepare for O’Brate Stadium opening H allie Hart S taf f Repo rter @ hallieha rt

Dalton Deckert’s new workplace has a strict dress code, but it won’t last forever.

Any groundskeeper who doesn’t wear the attire to fit construction site safety protocol isn’t permitted to work on the field. Deckert sports a neon vest, clear protective glasses and a clunky hard hat whenever he visits O’Brate Stadium, Oklahoma State’s new home for baseball. In the sticky late summer, Deckert and his co-workers had to suit up in long pants and steel-toed boots as they tested the irrigation system and tended to the newly laid sand and sod.

“You’re sweating pretty much instantly,” Deckert said. “And it’s not fun, but you just kind of get used to it.”

Deckert, associate athletic field superintendent at OSU, can soon set aside the hard hat and safety glasses because the ballpark at Washington Street and McElroy Road will no longer be a construction zone. O’Brate Stadium, named for its primary benefactor Cecil O’Brate, will open when OSU faces TCU on March 20.

As the grounds crew grooms the field for its debut, it also must maintain upkeep of Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, where the Cowboys have played since 1981. Because of delays at O’Brate Stadium, OSU will play every home nonconference game this season at Allie P., starting Friday with a series against Univer-

sity of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

Kevin Klintworth, senior associate athletic director, said the new ballpark costs $70 million in design and construction.

He said weather-induced construction delays and intentions to open the stadium in spring instead of winter led to the athletic department’s decision to wait until Big 12 play.

“There are folks in the athletic department who have meetings every Monday with construction folks,” Klintworth said.

“And so they obviously had their pulse on the pace of the construction throughout the project.

We could have rushed it and opened on (Friday), but it wouldn’t have had everything in place, I don’t think.

“It wouldn’t certainly be as festive if you’re wearing earmuffs and gloves and scarves (when teams are) trying to play a baseball game.”

OSU baseball coach Josh Holliday, athletic director Mike Holder and architect Jim Hasenbeck announced plans for a then-unnamed stadium during a press conference March 29, 2018.

The next year, inclement weather disrupted the builders’ schedule.

Senior project manager Chad Kendrick and assistant project manager Jay Cheves said the deluge created obstacles during a critical phase of construction. Water pooled in the ditches, and mud caked the ground.

To try to compensate for lost time, the crew switched its focus to jobs it could do in the rain.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020

Hallie Hart/O’COLLY

O’Brate Stadium, the new home of Oklahoma State baseball, will open March 20 with the Cowboys’ series against TCU.

Cheves said some plumbing, electrical work and exterior sheathing were completed more quickly than expected, but tasks such as pouring concrete were futile during the constant downpours.

“This team as a whole with Manhattan and the athletic department and our subcontractors,” Kendrick said, “we really came together, and we made a lot of that up the best we could.”

In February, O’Brate Stadium is simultaneously a work in progress and a clear picture of OSU baseball’s future. The neatly manicured field and the pristine orange bleachers make the venue appear nearly complete.

Still, workers are present adding the final fixtures, and some areas are off limits marked by orange tape, making it clear some features are left to add.

People in neon yellow and orange vests dot the construction zone, even on weekends. Although

the number can vary, Cheves said about 100125 workers are at the ballpark on a daily basis.

As O’Brate Stadium nears completion, Manhattan Construction sometimes keeps the site open late to ensure the goals of the day are accomplished.

Cheves said he has stayed until 8 p.m.

“We want to get it right,” Cheves said. “And we want to deliver a quality product that’s going to last for however long it needs to, and then it’s going to help keep this team competitive.”

Klintworth said the athletic department is responsible for bringing in the video board, furniture, landscaping and fiber runs. Crew members at Orange Power Studios will have to adapt to running the video board because there isn’t one at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

“There’s all kinds of things that you wouldn’t (normally) think about

that come into play when you have basically two home facilities,” Klintworth said.

Deckert and the grounds crew must budget time for maintaining the two baseball fields along with OSU’s other athletic fields. He doesn’t mind a little extra work because he can watch the future build around him each time he goes to O’Brate Stadium. The promise of this venue influenced him to leave the Triple-A stadium where he worked in Ohio and head to Stillwater in 2018, though he had no tie to OSU. “A facility like that at a college level is pretty unheard of, and I wanted to be a part of that,” Deckert said.

Holliday recognizes his players can’t get too distracted as they prepare to start their season at Allie P., but the hype about their new home constantly surrounds them. When nonconference play wraps up at their old venue, the Cowboys will haul belongings, training equipment and office decorations to O’Brate.

“Luckily, we’ve got an awesome staff around to help us,” Holliday said.

“But I’m pretty sure that when coach Holder says, ‘Hey, here’s the key or here’s the code, feel free to move in,’ I may not sleep for two or three straight days just in the excitement of what that’s going to feel like.”

Kendrick and Cheves said they have had to deter curious passersby from wandering inside the fence to get a closer look at the construction site.

They will soon be able

to stroll into the stadium and enjoy its opening day, but until then, it’s time for “extra innings” at Allie P., as Klintworth said the athletic department is calling it.

Klintworth said fans will be able to get into games at Allie P. for free, and season ticket holders will have “Extra Innings in Allie P.” cards that ensure they can stay in their usual seats. Through Sunday, people who put down $75 deposits before Jan. 31 can choose their seats at O’Brate Stadium.

Celebration plans for O’Brate Stadium’s inaugural game are in the works and haven’t been disclosed, but Klintworth said these festivities will fit better with the start of Big 12 play in the spring than if the venue were opening in winter.

Despite the rainy days and delays, for Cheves, the constant work is worth it when he sees people’s faces light up as they tour O’Brate Stadium. It’s Holliday’s dream, and Cheves and his crew are creating it.

“You have those challenging days or those times when you’re trying to get this part finished,” Cheves said. “Or, ‘Man, it’s raining,’ or whatever.

And coach Holliday will come through, or coach Holder will come through with somebody, and they’re just amazed.

“It kind of gives you some perspective of, ‘Hey, this really is something that’s special, and it’s really something that’s amazing.’ … It’s a good feeling.”

OSU architecture students work on design for Pivot Jar ed A’Lator r e S ta f f R epo rt er @jaredalator r e

Oklahoma State architecture students are designing new ways to rebuild a shelter used for Pivot, an organization to help kids in need of education and comfort.

A nonprofit organization that advocates, educates, intervenes and counsels kids in need because of neglect or abuse, Pivot is seeking the help of OSU architecture students to update its space. Students are planning and discussing ideas to propose for Pivot before a jury for the company to decide if their idea is satisfactory.

“We have worked out with Pivot a program for a new education and administration building,” said Ben Spector, a professor in the School of Architecture.

Although there are some privacy issues with the kids, Pivot is open to whatever is being proposed for a better facility.

The organization likes to bring in groups to build community support and bring attention to the issues of the kids.

“They like to bring groups to see what they do,” Spector said. “They’re not trying to be hidden in any way.”

Its building is currently used as more of an office and has little to provide in terms of care for kids in

need. The facility is in a quiet area, but administration fears that if it were to move to a suburban neighborhood, some opposition from the public would follow.

“If they were in an upscale residential neighborhood for instance, they might face some backlash from the neighbors,” Spector said. “They’re in more of an office industrial district where nobody really cares.”

Throughout the work week, the architecture students are involved in a discussion class about Pivot and try to connect with them on their level to find out which design is right to make the building kid friendly.

Spector wants the students to utilize their skills in the discussion class. He said his students should find a way to go about their projects to benefit other people and not themselves. He wants the students to do more than just make a living out of their job in the creative architectural realm.

“Ultimately, we want the students to really want to improve the world,” Spector said.

The students have been a part of something in the past where they help with nonprofit organizations for people in need.

Architect senior Scott Cornelius talked about

research he’s doing called “user stories.” This research is to help people understand what these kids are going through, such as homelessness or helping them cope with everyday hardship.

“We included three stories from teens who were helped by Pivot, and there were stories from volunteers from Pivot, and the administration and staff that worked there,” Cornelius said. “One of the (staff members) talked about cooking classes and how much that helped the kids.”

Cornelius is also one of the many students who participate in the discussion to help Pivot and con-

tribute with a team. Each of the 13 teams are coming up with a design to help improve the building.

“There’s definitely a sense of competition throughout the whole project,” Cornelius said. “It’s a really interesting blend of competition and helping each other out.”

Spector said he likes to credit the students for a potential long term contribution they made with Oklahoma Shakespeare in Oklahoma City, even though financial status was a factor.

“Our students designed a new home for them,” Spector said.

“They couldn’t afford the extravagance of a brand

new building, but it did help them to think beyond their current situation and get their donors to help buy an existing building in Oklahoma City that they’re going to be able to remodel.”

Professor Jeanne Homer is the coordinator of the studio. Homer coordinates with Pivot to have students volunteer to go to Pivot for a few hours in the day.

“We do like to have projects where students can volunteer somewhere and really connect with potential users in the building,” Homer said.

With the school’s mission being to educate, advocate, intervene and counsel, the students are

trying to tie in that mission with their designs.

“The main focus is the educational purpose,” Homer said. “It could potentially help them set their vision and get interest going. What our students are doing is they’re studying the types of spaces that will impact people’s immediate experience there directly.”

A jury will come in from Pivot in late February and judge each team’s design proposal for the facility.

“They will have 13 different versions because there’s 13 different teams and it will be very different,” Homer said.

Cowboys earn back practice jerseys ahead of Bedlam J oseph Fazio Staf f Repo rter @ J osephD Fa z io

When Oklahoma State was in the midst of a winless streak in Big 12 play, coach Mike Boynton decided his players didn’t deserve to represent the university.

As punishment, Boynton took away their OSUbranded practice jerseys and gave them ordinary pinnies.

“That was about playing with pride and getting back to why we have the opportunities we had,” Boynton said. “The reason we’re here, the reason these guys get to play and I get to coach is because of the people who’ve put their blood sweat and

tears into our program.”

Boynton said his players needed to recognize they were representing decades of OSU basketball history.

The Cowboys had to earn their practice jerseys back.

Since they lost their jerseys, the Cowboys have won not one but three conference games after losing their first nine. One of their wins came against No. 24 Texas Tech, which was in the national championship game last season.

The selfishness was disappearing. They weren’t just Cam McGriff or Lindy Waters III or Isaac Likekele.

They were a cohesive unit. They were OSU bas-

ketball players again.

Ahead of OSU’s Bedlam game against Oklahoma on Saturday, the Cowboys earned the right to represent their university again in practice.

Boynton’s actions were a wake-up call for many players, including McGriff. “(We had to take) personal accountability to our mistakes and have a lot more pride on that court,” McGriff said.

“With Oklahoma State, as far as practice goes, once we take the jerseys off, we’re just us.”

Boynton returned the practice jerseys to his players when members of the Cowboys’ 1995 Final Four team came to Stillwater. He thought it

was time to show previous generations of Cowboy basketball players the historic program they developed still lives on today.

“I thought it was important that when our former players and staff came back last week that they saw that type of play, and it was displayed not only in practice but in the game,” Boynton said.

Freshman guard Avery Anderson III used the moment to get ready for his first Bedlam in GIA. “We just gotta come back and just play as hard as we can for OU and just communicate, play hard and that’s it,” Anderson said.

As McGriff prepared for his last Bedlam, he fully

Tame Impala makes comeback C hase Co n gl eton S taff Repo rter @ ChaseCon gl eton

Since the release of “Currents” in 2015, Kevin Parker’s psychedelic pop/ rock music project has expanded its fanbase, reaching more hip-hop and pop music fandoms.

The band achieved such prominence in media that other mainstream artists such as Rihanna and Arctic Monkeys started covering Parker’s music.

In between working on Tame Impala’s projects, Parker dived more into producing for popular artists. He collaborated with Mark Ronson on Ronson’s album “Late Night Feelings,” helped produce Lady Gaga’s song “Perfect Illusion” and worked on Travis Scott’s “Skeletons” off of Scott’s album “Astroworld.”

So, what exactly can Tame Impala fans expect from Kevin Parker’s new album “The Slow Rush?”

Tame Impala remains faithful to the psychedelic sound and influences that have made the band so beloved in the 2010s. In essence, the album is similar to 2015’s “Currents,” but the album has more percussion to the instrumentals as well as a recurring theme of the intricacies of time.

“The Slow Rush” spans across 12 tracks with a total length of 57 minutes and features a consistent progressive pop-rock sound that gives the songs a second or, at times, third act.

The sonically infectious

Tame Impala comes back with his new album “Slow Rush” that adds onto his signature psychedelic rock vibe.

instrumentals will easily cause listeners to lose their train of thought and dive deeper into a blissfully existential moment.

The album’s lead single “Borderline” lyrically talks about a person experiencing a relationship that is caught in a line of questioning. “Will I be known and loved? Is there one that I trust,” are repeated in the hook and further explain the protagonist’s rocky situation. The lead single used notably different elements than other typical Tame Impala songs by including flutes and percussions.

Songs with progressive rock elements on this album contain several parts within a single song that keep the tracks exciting.

Parker talks about dealing with anxiety in stressful situations on “Breathe Deeper.” The use of house pianos and synths creates a spaced-out atmosphere that fits with Parker’s dreamlike vocals like a glove.

Parker’s lyrics throughout the album are hauntingly self-reflective; the artist sings of perseverance and

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020

still moving past struggles on the song “On Track.”

On a lighter note, the opening song “One More Year” speaks of the passage of time and living in the moment without regard to the fleeting curse of living.

Tame Impala’s most surprising work is rarely the six-to-seven minute long songs, but rather the interludes. The interlude “Glimmer” is a glitzy dance track that is similar to a Daft Punk b-side and is only has a few disco components missing from calling this a disco interlude.

“One More Hour” concludes the album and is the sister track to the opening song “One More Year.” Parker said the song represents “the last hour of that year, you know like where have we come to?”

The song starts off with a minimalist piano that slowly builds upon guitar riffs, smooth vocals and an erratic drumbeat.

The complex instrumentals and the emotionally transparent lyrics all on the album combine to create a thematically vivid image of the life inside the mind of a 34-year-old man.

Despite the album rarely reaching the musical highs from his last LP, the album solidifies its own identity among Parker’s discography and remains an amazingly refreshing listen to both new and old fans.

“The Slow Rush” makes itself a worthy addition to the legacy (and possible future musical legend) Kevin Parker.
