JTS Improvements - Want More

[Sousaclone]

I think that most people would be shocked at how well some of these career truck drivers can back trucks. I've seen some crazy backing that I didn't think was possible.

Yep. The other reality is they aren't going to put a newbie or unskilled truck driver on that haul. The last thing any trucking company wants is ABC saying "XXX was unable to play today because their equipment truck crashed on the highway. Here's some live shots of the accident" and they cut to a video of the trucking companies logo plastered over the side of the truck with the equipment trailer split in half on the side of the highway.

As far as protective bollards and such, renderings never show that stuff. That or they use architectural measures to disguise it. Like Target does with those big round concrete orbs that are in front of some of their buildings.

My first year interning as a civil engineer student I spent the whole summer in the field. I was always amazed watching the low boy drivers deliver equipment to the sites. It takes some real talent to drive the way those guys did.

Mystery Solved:

The Geek in me ( I just HAD to know) .... I called the ISU ticket office this morning. The person I spoke with said the tunnel WILL be covered. He said the slope of the hill will be different than the past, but the entire hill will be grass, except for the new walkway.

The world needs more 'geeks' like you who do the legwork to get the truth. Thanks!!!

I read their post wrong at first and thought they said "the Greek in me". Like dang do Greeks not like suspense or something? I guess geek makes more sense.

No problem! I am a Cyclone through and through.... I'm getting a ISU tatt later this summer. #ALLIN

This is correct. There is excess demand with the Jack Trice so it's possible that is expanded as well when adding new suites in that area.

How do you expand Trice club and put in suites in the same place.
If you replace Trice you eliminate those extra $$ and incentive for those people. Seems like all venues have some VIP seating

I laughed—because I read it that way at first, too!

Thank you!

To be fair, it looks like they won’t have the forms up for either a “cap” or the rest of the West walkway in order to pour today.

Maybe they’re doing that on the ramp on the East side?

I'm so glad the tunnel will be covered to have this clean look. It will be more complete that way. Seventeen weeks from tomorrow we will see our transformed stadium!

And that will make the pregame entrance look even more awesome.

Hey guys, is the tunnel going to be covered?

Now that this morning's graduation ceremony is over for those receiving ISU master's degrees, work has resumed at the stadium.

No, but looks like a crane will be part of the entry. Wonder what the purpose is

Haven’t you heard people complain about the long trip to the top of the scoreboard?

It's not so bad once you get to the base of the structure and can take the stairs.

Looks like they may be backfilling along the tunnel now.

There are graduation ceremonies at the stadium today and Saturday.

I bet they work, take a break for graduation ceremonies (there was one at 11 a.m. today), and then get back to work once each ceremony ends.
