I can't quite tell what they are doing in the SE lower bowl. Are they going to cover the pump, or not?
By the way the framing is going, it looks like they may cover the pump with landscaping, not seats.
It looks like the height of the beam is higher that the old pump structure so it should be covered by seats. Or maybe not.
JMO, the pump structure will be covered by seats. Otherwise, the ticket office would have relocated the early SEZ season ticket buyers before the current relocation/upgrade program and removed the seats as an option.
Yes they are covering the pump. If they were not, why would they have a crawl space from the field to the pump?
Thanks for finding those views. Yeah, I agree that it probably isn't a crawlspace to access the pump. The pump (storm lift station) has access at the top only.I'm not sure that's a crawlspace, or at least specific to the pump. If you watch the Sukup video on the jacktricestadium.com website, you can see clips where they did something similar to the west side. 2:01 and 3:07 mark
If you look at the 3:45 you can clearly see that the pump station is higher than the existing seats so I would think they would have to cut that down a bit in order to get seats on top of it.I'm not sure that's a crawlspace, or at least specific to the pump.

Either that or they chose aluminum so they could just jump up and down on that section and "make it fit".
I should also add that at 2:53 the view of the field from the new upper deck is a pretty good view.

I emailed the athletic dept about the lower SE seating near the pump/lift station. Got a reply from Chris Jorgensen "Seating will be going in the area you reference. As I’m sure you can appreciate, there are & were a number of factors causing a change in how this area of construction looks versus the same area on the SW corner, but ultimately we will end up with a continuous lower bowl of seating as per the renderings and ticket map. Thanks for your interest in the project."
May be a few schools out there that do but I'm guessing there are not many. Especially in the "Power 5" conferences.Would any other school respond to emails like ISU does? Seriously.
I emailed JP once on a weekend (who hasn't), and he responded a few days later on Thanksgiving day. Sorry to ruin your bird nap JP!
