I don't quite understand the lack of updates this summer on the basketball practice facility and east side of Jack Trice from Pollard. There hasn't been an update on the basktball facility since May and I don't even recall the last one on the east side of the Jack.

They're still in progress.

There you go.

I have seen some photos of the BB practice facility, from July...in mid July...they were pretty much at the stage of laying carpet, finishing touches. It's going to be ready to go for the kids when school starts in a couple weeks from what I have seen and heard

Jack Trice is Done, we had our final walk through and inspection yesterday. The Practice facility is 99% done, we completed our work there the first part of July.

That'd be because there really isn't much to update. It's looked the same except for the inside work for the last couple months.

The fencing is a separate project isn't it? I didn't think that was done the other night when I went by...

Practice facility looks really nice. Wish I was allowed in it considering I live across the street.

I have not seen it, but heard there are murals on the walls of championships on the men's side...Looks pretty sweet I guess.

I think the official ribbon cutting for the BB facility has been scheduled for Oct 16. Rec'd a save the date postcard from JP recently. I think it is pretty much complete.

I drove by both the other day. BB facility, looks competely finished from the outside. But there's still a lot of construction trucks and vans around, so they must still be working inside. The parking lot looks finished and they were planting trees around it. JTS, all of the cement work is done. The north gates are done. The supposed All-American walls inside the gates are still bare. The ticket window awning is done. Fencing in progress. The east gate (canopy) looks unfinished to me yet. If they ARE moving the Jack Trice statue up to the plaza between the east concessions, they haven't done that yet. Other than the fence, it looks to me like work around JTS has slowed way down.

Somebody posted a thread a month or so ago and they haven't changed since (on the stadium). They must've been doing all the inside work because nothing has changed since the brick walls went up.
