JTS Improvements - Want More

Maybe a place for heavy equipment and construction materials to sit, and not put that wear on the new completed lots, as well as take up that space.
A staging area? Like this? Okay.
I’m hoping they’ll swing the camera over to cover the McFarland site. But I’m also curious about what they do with the drainage ditches—clearly not going to be spray seed, or they’d have done it already.
Maybe a second cam atop the Jacobson Building?

Someone has to do it, and then inform the rest of us!
Work continues on the NEZ video board. Should help with the in game experience at JTS.
A necessary eyesore being in a flood plain. I don't even think it looks terrible, but it would add a good number of parking spots if they weren't needed. If they could get seem trees or plants on the slopes that would help.
Pretty predictable they would've had to give it another go given they sodded it the week of the first game last fall.
I don't question the need for adequate drainage, just the manner and location in which they've chosen to achieve it. We're an engineering school, for cryin' out loud ... this is the best they could come up with?!?
My biggest beef is that is is right outside the main facade of the Alumni Center. Picture this: a nice Holiday gathering or even a Wedding overlooking the focal point wall of windows, only to gaze upon ... an open drainage ditch. Womp, womp
I mean it's a flood plain in Iowa prairie ground. Not sure how much lipstick you can apply to make it appear what it isn't given the budget. Move on and accept what it is.
I attended a wedding at the alumni center of a friend who is a few years older while I was still in college and can assure no one mentioned the ditches. But fair points.
What was your plan and why did the engineers reject it?
Just lay some steel bridge grating over the top either more parking or at least tailgating space
