G7 Parking Lot Project Under Way

[cycoticfan]

Was in Ames Saturday and was amazed to see the G6/G7 replacement project underway. Right up from along University. This is going to be a huge upgrade with RV pads (both electric and not) and a sky bridge over University. I didn't realize it was going to stretch from So 4th to 16th. I can't wait until next year but the walk from the current G7 to the stadium could be treacherous. Hope they make a road .

Sir, this is an Arby's.

It will always be Elwood Drive to me.

So looking into projects, it looks like they might have cancelled those plans and just upgrading the intramural fields.

So sad.

It looks like it is even going to have a fishing pond on the south end!

If they scrapped the planned project, that really sucks. That was going to be a great, needed enhancement. Was it announced that they changed plans?

 

[Trice]

Isn't this project exactly what it was publicized to be (see link below)? I thought there was talk of future G7 enhancements but nothing concrete announced yet.

Correct

 

[titleist]

Is this the future G6? With hopefully a better walkway for the G6/G7 folks to the stadium?

 

[NorthCyd]

I park in G7 and just got an email telling me I wouldn't be able to walk across the intamural fields anymore due to the construction and we will have to walk up to 4th st to cross.

Yeah this year is going to suck. Everyone walking into the lots after the game by that one alley while G6 and G7 are trying to leave will delay departure quite a bit. I'm expecting quite the cluster.

The worst is when they allow the a b c and d lots to head east on the road that goes in front of g6/7. It shuts the lots exit down and makes it a two hour process to leave. They allow it the first game and then enough people complain and fix it for the rest.

I usually either sprint out to the vehicle and get the hell out of there before the crowd arrives or chill in the lot for a few hours, so my plans wont change much. Getting in and out of G7 has always sucked.

Gotta love the late games if you are in the back of the lot and get the free car wash or shower from the golf course sprinklers coming on and blasting into the lot.

The Alamo Bowl had traffic management down well.

You're in this lot? You go this way.

You were in that lot? Great, you go the other way.

We stayed downtown and walked. I liked that part.

We did as well, but had our dad take the car over to tailgate.
