That "black" area up by the indoor facility going to be Fieldturf (synthetic grass)?

That's what I'm guessing, Would be nice to see a plan/rendering to get a better idea. Guess we will find out soon enough anyways.

This isn't quite the 100% final design, but I found one that has color for clarity. North is to the right and the synthetic field is closest to Bergstrom.

Appears so. Here is a link to regarding the contractor.

HELLAS RETURNS TO CYCLONE COUNTRY EXPANDING IOWA STATE’S PRACTICE FIELD

Iowa State University, a member of the Big 12 conference, has a proud history of athletic excellence. Iowa State has again selected Hellas Construction as their synthetic turf provider. Hellas installed the Matrix® turf system in the indoor practice facility in 2015.

Since I’ve heard “six weeks” bandied about in terms of when sod is ready for heavy traffic, will this be ready to practice on by the time the season starts? Or will they wait until Spring ball?

No. Definitely not too expensive. There are GPS based drones all over. I've floated the idea past JP to which he expressed excitement. But, I'm assuming his time is too valuable to apply to this and, thus 'delegating' it would make it too expensive. Time for one of you bright young engineers to step to the plate, get the drone, stream the video to a web page with a marque advertising bar (so the page makes money for the AD). I'm full of ideas, but not enough time to make them happen.

Sounds like a great project for a club or class to undertake there. I am sure there would be some funding available to help if it was used as a club or educational project that also benefitted the school.

Endzone and midfield logo looks super effed up in that super dark Red and yellow.
Gives TOE vibes.
Probably just a bad rendering.

More of a Minnesota Golden Gopher look to me.

No webcam. Wasted opportunity. Remember how fun it was to watch the installation of the jumbotron?

Surprised to find them letting traffic under the bridge.

It was a massive erection.

The contractor was able to get it up.

Looks great! Thanks for posting! Hopefully the engineering is better than the US 30 flyover.

They got the deck placed in under a year so it already has the flyover beat.
