FB Facility Update

Probably been discussed a lot on here, however, it seems like our team is on the wrong side of the field. Isn't the home team usually on the side of the press box? I wonder if they would change sidelines so the home team can be on the side of the tunnel without having to cross with the visiting team? Then move visitors to the other side of the field and current locker room?

Tunnels are for wimps. If we want to send a message with our entrance, there's clearly only one way to do it.

Photoshoppers, have at it.

Tunnel, aye...

But I'm thinking monorail as a means to traverse the underground depths.

I believe monorails are exclusively above ground. Underground would be a subway.

Just look at Ogdenville, Brockway, and North Haverbrook!

Really we should just be completely replacing CyRide with an energy efficient campus to JTS monorail.

On a serious note, some sort of storm cellar entrance would be a pretty cool, cyclones-appropriate addition to the pre-game festivities.

You're thinking too small. Why not have a monorail that runs all through Ames? It would be efficient, fast, and smooth.

Don't worry about noise. It glides as softly as a cloud.



Somehow, I'm having trouble seeing the idea of the storm cellar as a cool one. Maybe it's just me (and it looks like it might be). It would be OK, but I don't see a real thrill from it.
 
A monorail from student tailgating lots to backside of student section. That, ladies and gents, is what we need. It will solve all our problems. As long as they use the right bolts, don't use exposed steel, and make sure to consider the wind.

But will the monorail run back and forth constantly so students can pound a few more beers at halftime/whenever they need to reload?

It will only run back and forth at halftime. But it will definitely help get more stumbling drunk students into the game. Plus, it will be much safer than crossing University Blvd, unless the wind blows the videoboard over, then all hell will break loose.

So the TV cameras can show the visiting team the whole game? That ain't happening. I think that they just time it and cross. Shouldn't be difficult to do. I've seen NFL games where the players actually walk up the tunnel together at half. Our teams would just share an entrance with the opponent.

If you look at the tunnel, it's actually no longer than the walk that the players take now. The current one just has more turns and stairs.

Just as long as it doesn't end up like this:

Actually. Several years ago already I saw a plan for this building. Not saying that the plans haven't change, for which I have no idea, but was actually positioned more like this. I would imagine that they would keep it similar because the other (yellow) way has the entrance blocked to the parking lot and it will be hard to put another entrance in because of the location.

I was thinking the same thing, plus when that scoreboard destroying wind blows through, we will get a nice funnel effect that could very well tip some port-a-pots in the tailgate lot.

Wait, OMG!! Did they do an analysis of all potential wind gusts blowing into the tunnel prior to the South Endzone project, and the possibility of it causing the new football building to blow up? Someone should probably let JP know the tunnel must have a 90 degree turn to prevent that from happening.
