This will be a nice improvement. I wish there was a way we could redo the entire thing. I hate the interstate sign feel to the supports. It feels very Frankenstein with the Jacobson building below along with the hillsides. It's just clearly the inferior end of the stadium, and that board is ugly on its own.
The whole stadium is Frankenstein-like because we're always working on a shoestring budget. If I had a few billion burning a hole in my pocket, I'd enclose the upper deck on the south end, demolish the paper airplane (Jacobson)/fill in the rest of the hillside, and expand the press box. That being said, we do have one of the best parking/tailgating situations in the nation and CyTown will greatly enhance that.

Our offense looks elite when there is no defense.

On a serious note, really easy to root for him, he seems super like-able. He was recruited as a DB, hopefully we get to see the physical gifts come together with some experience this year. Who knows if we get 11 wins but this should be a fun year.

Did they do the same RB balance drills with DM or did they model them off DM’s balance? Either way I don’t want to do them. And burpees look easier for them than what it looks like at my gym.

Does Iowa State Football also post to Blue Sky? Be damned if I'll watch X.

Get rid of the Chevron signs.

Have you been to any other college football stadiums!?

I've been to more NFL stadiums than college stadiums. I consider Kinnick a toilet and KU's Memorial stadium is getting a much needed rebuild. Albertson's is an eyesore- and not just because of the obnoxious turf.
You are being too kind.

There’s a reason I play the Powerball. I keep telling you guys, “Aclone North End Zone”.

It even rhymes!

May as well put up a new admin building on the east side of the courtyard, too.

It's a massive improvement from when I was growing up going to games in the 90s/early 00s. The south end zone looks great inside and outside the stadium.

The Jacobson building doesn't bug me, but i must admit I'm jealous of Kinnick's new(ish) end zone seating. It's too bad JTS was built more as an amphitheater than straight up. If we could add a wall of seating where the Jacobson building stands, it could be an upgrade in atmosphere, but I'm certainly not an architect.

The press box doesn't really bug me either, but it's something that could bring an upgrade to the setting. It's one of the things that my non-ISU fans always point out, so it's obviously an eyesore to some.
