JTS Improvements - Want More

[Land Shark]

Yes. Both sides of the plaza. I'm certain there will be several posts commenting on how those trees will be dead soon; especially since they were all correct about the sod dying .

actually- they did replace some sod out front this morning. The last sod put down is questionable to make it IMO. It is struggling badly

This is the best I could find

I knew I saw a new version of that view Posted on here somewhere so care of Wesley Winterink, (who I hope doesnt mind I repost his image on the same forum, with watermark intact) We are able to see a fairly close comparison.

It's a huge difference. Just use the window levels in the Jake to see the grass levels. It's quite a change.

It's a huge difference. The hillsides used to tie into the ramps leading into the field. There's now a 25' high wall there at the top of the hill.

As I was flipping through pictures I remembered being able to give little kids high-fives as the band marched out of the stadium.

You can definitely tell they are quite a bit more gradual. The north end does look cleaner. Still a lot can be done there, but definitely improved it.

The black border material is the new "will the tunnel exit be covered" mystery

Can someone get a sample of that material analyzed at a lab so we know what it is?

Currently Jack (the NW hillside) being mowed. And something else going on with the walkway border that I can’t make out.

I think they were just trimming.

Looks like they repainted the stall lines in C6 this morning.

Here's some pics from Friday. AKA: I don't know if that sod is gonna make it, Pollard's Bollards in use, and future signage and where fence/gate will connect.
PS - The edges are still dirt. Just dirt.

Some of those bollards will need to move if the visiting team equipment truck is going to use that area to back in their truck.

It's an intelligence test. Will the opposing team truck run in to them? Will the Hawkeye marching band be able to safely circumnavigate a half dozen obstacles spaced 8' apart or will they attack band members with murderous intent?

I think maybe they’re meant to come in from the lot to the east.

Thank you!

Probably come in by reiman to the south

Those bollards will have empty beer cans stacked up nice and high before games. I can't wait to see that.

Remember that dark and light variation in the strips of sod? It’s started evening out with the grass taking root in the rich amended soil beneath.

But you sure as heck still can tell where the roof of the tunnel mouth was poured a few weeks after the rest of the retaining wall.

 

[Aclone]

I suppose I shouldn’t hope they’re getting the plaza wall ready for whatever is (or isn’t) placed atop it just because there’s a truck parked next to it…right?

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Im sure this has been asked a billion times on this thread but is that little gameday district thing still planned?
