Noticed they are installing the covered walkway between Scheman and Hilton when I went by today.

Either a bunch of rainwater got in under the southern MacFarland structure, or they’re starting to pour the concrete pad for the ground floor.
Yeah, my eyes can’t tell.

Looks like they are finally going ahead with pouring the full pad for the MacFarland ground floor. There has been a row of—what do they call them? Concrete buggies?—sitting there for a couple days, and I just saw a cement truck roll out.
Sun is at the wrong angle to see much.

Walked into the north entrance of ground level of Scheman before the NW game, and noticed Johnny's on this level. What will be on level 2 and 3, and will these levels be accessible before games? Always liked ducking into Scheman prior to Hilton opening their doors to get out of the weather.
The Athletics Department eliminated Stage Door in the Scheman Building for the future starting this year.
22 degrees in Ames, and it almost looks like the MacFarland parking lot is heated. Plowed at 5:40 AM.

Premium seating is where the money is at, the article states that at WV, the new seating will bring in an additional $5 million a year for football. Once announced, people were jumping on board to donate, there is no reason ISU could do that for expanding our press box and the premium seating that would come with it.
So spend $150 million to make $5 million per year? That math doesnt pencil out for me.
The university would not be paying the $150 million, it would be donated, so they are getting $5 million for just getting the plan set up.
A lot of the press box envy group on here will still say doing something the size of WVUs plan is still far too small. Hell that barely looks bigger than our current one.
