FB Facility Update

[Dopey]

I've posted this idea a few times, and think it's perfect given we're the Cyclones. Put a storm door at the base of the hill from the underground tunnel. That way you can still have a hill there for "seats", and would become one of the most badass team entrances in the nation.

Not only is that a flawless Photoshop job, it's the best idea i've seen in years.

I know you're joking but real college football isn't played in domes. I don't think any football should be in a dome.

Cough...jerryworld...cough, cough.




I would take that dome anyday.

 

[KneeGusto]

Tunnel, aye...

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

You could set up boosters at each end with a switch to send the train to a stopping point instead of bouncing back and forth.

Okay, enough Minecraft.

They'll probably use A-50K psi CorTan steel and 4,000 psi concrete with steel reinforcing to construct the tunnel.

a. It's CorTen

b. Why would they use weathered steel to construct a tunnel?

At least it will be the end of the infaltable phallic.

What I hope, is that we don't start a visiting and home teams have to cross the field to get to their benches

Shelter in case of tornado. That is bad ***. It would be good if they were going back into it during a storm.

The end of the smoke machines too? The phallic looked more like a worm.

Force the visiting team to enter the field first, so we can let people boo them. Then have our team come out of the tunnel so everyone can cheer them. Do the same thing for warmups, staggering the entrance and exit. The only akward part would be heading to the lockerrooms at half time.

I was pretty ****** last year when Pellini held his team back until ISU ran onto the field.

Were you ever at JTS before the Jacobson Building was constructed? For at least a dozen years before that, the teams crossed over.

Will the old Clyde Williams pillar with "Honor Before Victory" be moved?

Just a rumor, but I heard they were bringing the drill over from Europe that they used on the Chunnel to drill between the new FB complex and the field.

Cellar doors are a must!

Thanks! I may be new here, but sarcasm and I go waaay back. In fact, when I was a younger lad, I had surgery. Years later, my mom told me she knew I was going to be okay when I started smart-arseing the nurses 5 minutes after I woke up.

I've fired too many bullets from my rep gun in your direction today. Well done...

 

[Cyclone04]

Maybe it would look something like Nebraska's tunnel?

 

[F5cy]

West? That makes no sense if youre putting in a tunnel that connects the new building to JTS.

Something of this shape..

makes more sense.

That would easily put us in the top 5 longest entrance tunnels in college football. Combine that with the #15 scoreboard and we're looking at really getting Jack Trice some appreciation in future EA Sports productions.

I am really interested to see how this is going to look.
