With that bottleneck on the north side this season, I'm gonna have to shut down the bar a little earlier to avoid the crush of humanity that is going to be backed up like a clogged colon.

Another thing I thought of is the band is going to have to go in one of those two north entrances as well. So 30ish minutes before kick is going to be a miss. I would hope they use the east ramp instead of the west.
For as long as the south green space took to complete I've heard the word "underwhelming" used a lot to describe it.
This is correct. The Jr. Cyclone Club sent out a few emails this summer and confirmed this.
I think I can find you one but it isn't even close to the "approved" plans. I understand not wanting a reflection pool for the drunks to enjoy. Still the "flying saucer" reflection disk is really out of place. The south entrance is disappointing from an end result and expense point of view. It could have been great; now its looks like they ran out of money.
Are we just going to keep the Interstate scoreboard above the Jacobson building? The screen was neat at first, but the entire thing is an eyesore now.
yup, they really cut back on this project and for as long as it took, it's a bit of a disappointment to see the final product. With that said, a majority of people will not know the difference and i will be interested to see what they do with the space on game days. If you're a first time visitor or havent been back in a few years, it makes a great impression overall.

Since I know very little about construction, what are all those pilings for? Do the pilings and how they are being put in mean there will not be a below-ground level? Or do the pilings add even more foundation stability and they must go in before there is excavation and concrete?

The biggest issue, aside from drunk hoks pissing in it every other year, was that nobody wanted to pay for the reflecting pool and fountains maintenance costs. Which is a shame. And the 1970s sci-fi dome thing is really out of place.
Current dump truck shortage in Ames from the looks of it. All dump trucks are currently hauling dirt out of the huge pit at AHS's new building site.
Whenever I see the limestone wall of the new Reiman Gardens area outside the south entrance, I think it belongs in Manhattan, Kansas!
Was wondering what the greenspace would be used for and this looks perfect to host non other than College Game Day! funny how it all works out!
Pollard said on an instagram live feed that next week they should be releasing an update on their future facilities vision
If only they could do that and also bowl-in the North end zone just like the other end, JTS would be second to none.
