How are we supposed to take these pictures as "proof" of the east end of the tunnel being uncovered when they don't even show a west entrance to the tunnel??

So the visiting semi is going to back from the street, across our new plaza, under the walkway, and then parallel park next to the Jake. We better have semi drivers available when the TOE visits, not to mention Kansas. Maybe we should put in guard rails in the plaza, keep our grass from getting rutted and concrete from chipped.This, next to the retaining wall? So, they’d pull the truck in cab first, and unload from the back, across the walkway to the Jake, with no dock?
Sorry, just trying to visualize here.

Well, there is that. And the other image has the SPC facing the wrong direction. And a skywalk linking the SPC to the stadium.How are we supposed to take these pictures as "proof" of the east end of the tunnel being uncovered when they don't even show a west entrance to the tunnel???

You never know when treating visitors well will reap rewards. sui is not in that category. They go out of their way to piss visitors off.I don't know why in the hell we would have to allow the visiting team's semi to park right next to the building. When I went to the Kansas game, our semi was out in a parking lot, close to the stadium. I'm sure the guys just wheeled out the equipment and on into the locker rooms. Let's hope that is the case here, let them wheel their gear down to the locker room and leave their semi off our lawn.
You will likely stay dry with that 9:00 start, but forecast looks a bit rainy if there are outside graduations later in the day.Tarp is down on the field for outdoor graduation this Saturday
Family member is in the ag college commencement at 9:00 a.m. Forecasted to be in the high 40's with 15+ mph winds. May have to bring the winter coat up from the basement
Don’t be ridiculous. They don’t turn around and go back.Why did you post a GIF of the Iowa marching band?

Maybe that platform is for the ABC/ESPN/FOX/FS1 broadcast truck?
Anybody know where they park trucks now? I'm guessing somewhere on the west side? Don't recall seeing them on the east or the south ever.
The renderings show a wide pedestrian sidewalk leading to that area but it does get narrow as it passes under the upper walkway, thus it appears to me some skillful driving (in reverse) is in order or grass, doors or upper walkway could be in danger. I don't see any bollards or other protective architectural features protecting walls columns doors light fixtures or grassy areas.I don't know why in the hell we would have to allow the visiting team's semi to park right next to the building.

This is correct. There is excess demand with the Jack Trice so it's possible that is expanded as well when adding new suites in that area.Project #1 should be to put suites between the upper and lower decks on the East side of the Stadium. Minimal disruption and MAXIMUM revenue. I'm just not sure we have the high end or corporate demand for it
We need more Cyclones to run Des Moines companies and set up boxes for in the Jack
I think I was wrong about having an uncovered tunnel entrance. If they were going to extend the top of the walls up to match the retaining wall, they would have poured them before they removed the forms (like they did with the retaining wall).I'm not considering any of this work progress until we solve the mystery of lid or no lid for the tunnel...
