Hi All -
I'm the creator of the renderings of Jack Trice. These renderings were done over 6 years ago while I worked for a firm that was doing some design work for ISU. They were studies showing what an expanded and full bowl might look like down-the-line and were by no means thought to be realistic renderings to be implemented immediately. The walkway renderings were a fun study to see if we could create little party patios using some existing infrastructure. I've pulled everything from my site (craftedaction.com) since I don't want their being any confusion about what is real or fake.
What I can tell you is that the athletic department had (and I believe, still has) big aspirations and would obviously love to be able to complete the bowl. It's encouraging to know that Pollard and the rest of his team are set on making ISU a top notch program and not just staying "as-is." As a young architect at the time I never worked directly with him but heard nothing but great things about his vision for the program.
If you'd like to see the renderings, please feel free to email me at

Zokos that helps people crowd-fund tailgates. Everybody chips in ahead of time so the host doesn't get stuck paying for everything and doesn't have to worry about awkwardly collecting cash.
