Probably trying to see if these two got the buckets separated.
Here is another shot from about 8 am this morning. They have started covering it with black plastic sheeting before laying down the ground fill:

Yes. In this closeup, you can see they have just started laying the forms by the south tunnel wall:

True. But this worry about the roof is just hilarious. It's like the UNI game rolls around, crowd is pumped, team enters tunnel.... oh wait, we're blocked! Turn around!It will have many all american cyclones running through it!
Well, the initial concern was whether the "top" was covered or just fenced in; whereby the kids on the hillsides could watch the all americans run below them, Now we know the tykes will have to line the wall opposite the jake to see the all americans pass by, all very pertinent issues for Cyclone fans, plus we want to make sure all civil engineers on CF feel safety standards were met so our all americans have no issues will falling concrete as they run to the field!
PS: They did have to remove overhead walkways between CY and Hilton due to structural concerns!

That mom is 9 months pregnant at this point and ain't a lot we can do to worry about her tunnel. It's all been decided a long time ago. And everything will be just fine.Well, the initial concern was whether the "top" was covered or just fenced in; whereby the kids on the hillsides could watch the all americans run below them, Now we know the tykes will have to line the wall opposite the jake to see the all americans pass by, all very pertinent issues for Cyclone fans, plus we want to make sure all civil engineers on CF feel safety standards were met so our all americans have no issues will falling concrete as they run to the field!
Welcome to the offseason.
I'd say more 'curious' than 'worried'. Don't you think? That aside, I still find it fascinating that an established volume material (ie geoform), is more cost effective than dirt. That said, I can see it being 'quicker' as no settling is required. But, still. It's amazing what non-green material we'll buy into next.
Forty-plus year old walkways, and they were removed because the railings did not meet current code not because they were structurally unsound. Those walkways were older than the entire football stadium. Many of them were admittedly in bad shape so they decided to fix some and upgrade railings to current code and simply remove the others. Some, like the second story ones between Stephens and Fisher, were rarely used. The amount of use on any of the removed ones did not justify the repairs and upgrades required. None were in danger of falling down.Well, the initial concern was whether the "top" was covered or just fenced in; whereby the kids on the hillsides could watch the all americans run below them, Now we know the tykes will have to line the wall opposite the jake to see the all americans pass by, all very pertinent issues for Cyclone fans, plus we want to make sure all civil engineers on CF feel safety standards were met so our all americans have no issues will falling concrete as they run to the field!

I know you have connections there, as do I. Maybe you received some inside knowledge that I didn't, but the information I have is that nothing was an imminent danger.
Is today the day the tunnel lid gets poured? I see additional items that look like plywood being placed in that area.
Once the forms are all in place they will still have to tie rebar for the lid, I assume we are still a couple of days away from a pour.
