From everything I have read and looked at from ISU they are working on the suites on the East side too. Along with Rebuilding 1 concession stand on the East side.

I remember someone mentioning the east side of the stadium after they met Jamie in the tailgating lots this fall.

Anyone remember that thread??

I looked closer at the pictures on the athletics site (it's a little hard to read all of that) but yeah now I think they are doing working on the east side suits here too. However I don't think they are redoing that restroom, I think they are just flat out demolishing it to prepare for a nicer entrance

You are correct! The restroom / concession (east side middle) is gone. The East side suites have been totaly gutted and will be completely remodeled. The west side is getting 2 new suites (north and south) built, along with the new concession stands (north and south)

So will there be luxury boxes along the entire west side when they're done, instead of just in the middle?

Pretty much. If you go to the Athletic webpage you can look at plans for what the new stadium layout will be... it can be hard to read but if you make the image larger a few times it gets easier to see

Below is what is a link to what the place will look like at the end of Phase I

The east side work is the Club Section renovation.

New suites, consessions, restrooms on the west. New club seating and club lounge on the east, which required the removal of that center cons/restroom building.

Yea I saw the rebar sticking out of the footings today at the rummage sale. That's good, get some of that foundation work done before this snow hit.

Before this snow hit? As I was leaving they were pouring concrete at around 11. Can't imagine what the gas bill is like for them heat all the formwork. Sad thing is they are going to be done before the addition to Sweeney is complete, and that thing has been going on for 1.5 years now and still needs probably another half year to finish.
