I heard the new end zone will have three decks and that the third deck wraps all the way around the east side of the stadium too!

I asked Jamie Pollard how ISU could do a similar scoreboard on the south end as the north with an upper-deck. He referred to Texas Tech.

Here is what Texas Tech did. You can see a big scoreboard and still an upper-deck: pic.twitter.com/nCJbD4OyOK
God alive I hope we don't use Texas flipping Tech as a template for anything ....in any subject
Give me hot tubs or give me death
So is that the new endzone cheap seats? The seats BEHIND the giant scoreboard?

If that is what they are using to model it after, I just went from **** yeah!!!! to meh.
Any bowled endzone is better than none. Go tell the Reimans you're disappointed.
There was no sarcasm pirate on my reply. I do think its awesome. I was in a meeting when I replied
Agreed. Compared to some of the previous renderings, it's not as impressive. But like everyone has said, still better than the current state.
I think there are a couple things to remember in regards to the cost
-there is really no old structure to demolish, renovate or retrofit, like Kyle Field for ATM, basically we are just working with bare ground. this saves a ton of cost
-footings are already in place from the initial construction of the stadium

That's pretty much exactly what I was getting at. Compared to what we have seen, it just wouldn't nearly what I thought.
I never said it wouldn't be an improvement.
My apologies; I'm a little on edge from some of the other threads going this week...
How would improved sound equipment on the south side cause acoustic problems? Haven't you heard of surround sound?
How about a compromise -- sound in the North endzone, pyrotechnics in the South.
You know when you setup a surround sound system how you have to setup the speaker distances relative to your seating position so that the signals can be delayed in order to ensure all the sound arrives at your ear at the same time?
For people sitting at an equal distance from both scoreboards great, but for everyone else maybe not so much.
