This thing is nothing like the CyTown vision--whatever that is. The UT thing will be a concrete version of The Grove at Ole Miss.
My comment was directed toward his first sentence, "G10T is arguably the best tailgating atmosphere in college football" and was based on the ISU FB tailgating experience to date. I'm not saying anything about what it will be when CyTown is finished.

Also, they have added a paved path from the street entrance to the RV Village, all the way to the little bridge near VetMED.

Agreed. I also think they are trying to funnel all pedestrian traffic from the east and south towards the pedestrian bridge on game days to reduce crossing at S 4th and S 16th as much as possible.
Yea, when I went by the other day it looked like the preparation for the path extended south of the ped bridge and maybe over to the city mixed use path where the old railroad right of way is on S 16th st. That is a nice addition for pedestrians if that’s the case.

I thought briefly about trying to get some shots last night after I left the Stephens Preview event for next program year's shows, but I don't think my camera can really capture the scope of what's there. Plus, it was starting to get dark.
