- Thread starter cyclonedave25
- Start date
Possibly during construction, not sure on that, but it won't once it's done.
The NW entrance to the stadium will be closed this fall. The NE, E, S and W entrances will remain open. The NW entrance being closed is really going to suck after games.
That West side entrance going to be crammed I would think. Wonder if they could add some entry/exit points in that area?
I was just there today - It looks like they changed the barricades and fence since 2 weeks ago. It looks like the NW entrance might be open for now but who knows where the project will be at once fall gets here.

Can anybody tell me what they are currently doing? Leveling the ground to get the footings set?
I’ve been sitting at work watching some dude spread gravel with a skid loader for the last 15 mins. Oddly satisfying.

That's the base layer before they poor the foundation. Footings are probably done if they are at that point.
Might be doing site utilities as it looks like there is water and storm piping staged on the South side of the parking lot...Might be using the rock as a backfill after the piping is installed??

Things are really moving along with the Sports Performance Center

Let's all hope that the bottleneck that was the entry at the north end will not be an issue this fall. And in two years the simpletons in the hok band will be able to walk out to their bus without getting molested.
Where are we putting the monument to all the Iowa band members that lost their lives that day?
Yeah, things seem to be moving pretty quickly now, despite the weather. I think that we're going to see the structure up by the end of the summer and probably enclosed by the time the first game hits, or at least by October. Looking at the floor plans:

The part the juts out to the SW is batting cages. Right now, they are working on the ground level floor. The two concrete "cubes" on either side of what looks to be the main entrance on the east I would guess are elevator shafts. Pretty much everything to the west of the beams going N/S is going to be the new locker room/lounge.
