JTS Improvements - Want More

I happened to catch a guy power washing the interior of the crenellated wall the NW concourse early this afternoon.

Edit: then the exterior later.

Because a crenellated wall is “a wall with gaps through which to fire at attackers” and the renderings show XII school flags being flown in the northern most gaps, will eight Big 12 schools have attacking teams assembled there for the ISU-UT game?

No. Just the schools with archery teams.

Those hillsides look like they have considerably less slope than the old ones. Do we know much that was changed?

Lights are being installed on the NW ramp into the stadium that resemble those on the plaza.

That is a nice touch. Will look good at night games.

Was thinking the same thing. For those that have seen it in person, does it feel more bowled in? I'm not getting that effect when looking at photos, but I think scale is a factor there. It's going to look a lot better with 61,500 packed in there. JTS is pretty ugly when empty and no amount of new construction can hide that unfortunately.

Along with people not tripping and falling down in the dark.

See pre-construction photo below. There is a lot more slope; the top of the hillsides are now above the Jacobson Building side windows.

Does anyone know what happened to the plaques that were displayed on the wall of the north entrance to Jack Trice? Used to like to visit that site as friends' names were on there.

The All American Wall will be displayed prominently as people walk into JTS as it will be on the outward-facing wall of Jacobson Bldg.

Thank you!

I'm assuming they put up a similar fence on the NE ramp with lights, too? Can't tell on the webcam angle.

After Friday noon, the corner lights along the north / south sidewalks in the plaza were installed so those lights are now evenly spaced. I suspect they waited on those until everything wide was brought through.

Maybe those plaza lights will be illuminated soon. I hope they are used daily and not just game nights.

It looks like a grass seed green blanket was applied today to the ground next to the south side of the SPC.

For anyone who wants to watch, someone panned the camera all over the place at about 15:25–first down, then to the west.

I see they sprayed that area late yesterday afternoon. No sod going in there. What else do they still have left?

looks to me like they're going to seed/blanket the top of that hill, then maybe finish the fencing on the north west ramp. After that it's just details I'd assume

Jill was mowed earlier today, looks like they're mowing Jack now

Can they remove the Texas and OU flags yet?

Much less slope and much larger. The hillsides.
