Very entertaining to be fair.

I kind of want to watch this show, tbh.

We should start a Top 20 post. Will the sod make it? The grass is growing differently than the other hill? Will the tunnel have a roof? And on and on and on......

Here's what's left to pour on the east side of the plaza. I think that's it other than the path straight out from the center of the spc and the south side of the spc. It's getting really close.

Looks like this isn't quite right. They are pouring/poured something on the north side of the SPC this morning as well. Also, tons of top soil going in today. I wonder if we'll start seeing green by the end of the week. Either way, sod can't be too far off now.

Anyone else notice how much better the sod on the west hill looks in the AM vs the PM? Right now it looks pretty good, but as the sun moves the sections of sod become more visible along with different shades of green.

Anyone have an idea of what they are doing to the wall above the northwest hill?

Is that just where they are putting the materials? I don't see any work on the walls but I do see work on the new addition extending from the Jacobson Bldg.

After four, most of the cars gone from C6, and still dumping and moving soil by the tunnel mouth.

Earlier I was pretty sure they were shuttling materials there from down below to stage for the upper level of the Jake, but when I got back home just now a bunch of it was gone.

Looks like they poured the SE corner of the plaza this morning. The pump appeared a little after 4am so they got a really early start. Looks like they just finished up pouring the last of it straight from the trucks. With that early of a start I wonder if they plan to pour the south side of the SPC today as well.

Haven't been back to Ames in a few months...can't wait to see the progress!

Good observation, thank you! I scrolled back enough to catch a cement truck pulling in at 5:05. No cars I could see in C6 then, but clearly someone was working.

At the moment, looks like south of the SPC might wait another day.

Some rebar is being laid on the south side of the SPC as we speak. Perhaps that will get poured early tomorrow morning to avoid the heat rolling in.

In the “don’t ask me what they’re up to” department…

Irrigation?

I feel like that new walkway plaza area will get pretty congested before/after games. I'm sure it's all for drainage but people will walk on that grass so hopefully it can take it.

I'm nitpicking at this point.

I have an odd suspicion they’ll be taking precautions against people spreading out over the grass.
