They claimed one of the reasons was for sound. I am sure flexibility might have been a factor also. Also a possibility that it could include the lower corners adjacent to the present End Zone Club for expansion of the Club if it proves popular.

Yeah, this is why I wish they had a public facilities plan update like K-State. Facilities and infrastructure gurus like myself always like to see what the dream or next 5 steps are for a project.
Really looking forward to the time I can see it in person. As it is now I would guess CPR's Ride to Remember will be the next time I go to AmesPerspective, August 11th vs. April 28th

Wow. And I actually really liked the old SEZ. Just Wow!

I never agreed with the glorified high school stadium comments, but now I see where they come from
Uh, why? God forbid I speculate whether our athletic department is thinking ahead for future scenarios that may not be predictable right now. Good grief.
I was just up in Ames this evening. Took a little detour past the stadium...The 'Entrance to the University' they were going for is there and then some.
Also, they started dropping some panels for a wall that drops down from the outer concourse that runs outside of the end zone club to the ground. It really makes the stadium appear much larger vertically in addition to the size increase from the upper deck.
One thing that I think always hurts JTS from looking impressive in the past is the fact that half the stadium structure isn't visible from the outside because of the design. The new SEZ exterior really mitigates that impact to a significant extant. It still doesn't give a full justice that it would from standing outside a stadium that the exterior ground is field level, but it now has a bit of an awe factor it has never had.

Today, the first of the finished aluminum is being installed in SW corner of the lower bowl. Also, the steps are going in on the SW upper bowl.
btw, for those linking the webcam, you may want to rehost the images to imgur instead of just linking to the webcam photo, as every time that's loaded that re-hits a page that already is limiting viewers.
Is there a wall between the old and new in the lower level? I know they removed this in the upper but looks like it's still there in the lower bowl?
