JTS Improvements - Want More

[cytor]

Has anyone driven by there recently to see what is happening on the east side of Jacobsen? It would be nice to have another camera on that side.

Does anyone know the timeline of it getting done, so the grass on the hillsides (and out front) can grow properly for the foot traffic? I assume they will sod it instead of seeding.

These footings are for the continuation of the retaining walls that form the hillsides!

Looks like they are setting the concrete that will be part of the tunnel. That wall is going to be pretty high on the sides to hold in all the soil. Looks like Campbell is down there with a float, smoothing out the concrete.

Yeah, I think that is just footings for the retaining wall. The tunnel used to come out just north of the tower, so I would guess that's where it would stay.

The way I'm looking at it, it could be the foundation for the Iowa Craft Brewing Station!!

I wonder if it's going to be the floor for a new maintenance room built into the hillside. It would have no effect on the stadium atmosphere and they lost a lot of space by putting the new visiting locker room in the basement of Jake. Seems like an easy way to add square footage for operations stuff.

Build the visiting locker room under the NE hillside! Interesting concept. Bury the opponents! I like it.

They have a new steel building attached to the west side of the IPF. I think that they've been moved in there for awhile now.

Today you can see them placing the new precast wall panels on the east side of the Jacobsen behind the new hillside embankment.

Put a hard top on it and get the kids bouncing on it to make a ton of noise over their heads.

Following the progress on my phone, I appreciate someone zooming the camera.

Alas, the image is too big for me to post.

Those precast panels certainly will give the stadium a more finished look from the outside. Both the north and south ends will likely look similar, it seems.

May keep some more crowd noise in? I don't know maybe not, but I like the more finished look

I’m guessing it won’t be long before they’re working on the west side...where we can see it!

Thank you for your service to this thread. God bless.
So that wall will be as tall as the Jacobson building, or almost as tall? Cool.

Everything looks great ... except for the gigantic Mid American logo. Couldn’t they just be satisfied with making a generous donation and an ad in the game program?

Or just endowing CMC? I hear that’s the thing to do nowadays.
