It'll be parked north of the locker room entrance, so there's no impediment to player traffic flow. The ramp was made wider as part of the hill reconstruction. You can see the "second lane" on the rendering.

Just seems odd to make a nice plaza area for fans to use it as a parking area for a semi
That won't look very good. Having the visiting semi parked in the endzone? Is that the best they could come up with?
It'll be hidden by the video board support and the retaining wall.
Who cares? That area is virtually never seen.
The normal pan on kicks is the width of the Jacobson Building.
The Jacobson Building hides it from any press tower shots.
Fans walking in can see it which is very similar to almost all stadiums.
Is that within pissing distance from the top corner of the hillside? Asking for a friend.
Believe I've heard it's more than just a few million. Also have heard there is a disagreement on who exactly should pay for it between the Athletic Department & the University.

Yeah, responsibilities for upkeep costs for the whole Iowa State Center has become a little blurry between the Athletic Dept. and the University in general. The Athletic Dept. agreed to take on oversight for CY Stephens and that facility has some massive overdue maintenance costs.
Well ..not a donor..but should have sued for taking a hard fall departing the Hilton a couple of years ago. .As an old football player ... it still knocked the wind out of me and broke my glasses. A big chunk of blacktop was dislodged and by tripping over it ..it firmly planted my face into the rest of the debris field. No kidding ...but I am not the suing kind ...so after driving through the lots today by the stadium..it brought back some memories from December night.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Texas fell down
And broke it’s crown
And OU came tumbling after!

Let them use the Kmart lot hopefully their semis will be towed before the game is over.
Good question. I thought the same thing from pictures and the webcam. But we were in the stadium for graduation and the north end definitely feels more bowled in. The height is hard to appreciate from the webcam angle. From inside the stadium, it feels much more enclosed than before. I think people will be very surprised and how different it feels. It's really awesome!
