I know you guys get excited about cranes, I hate to burst your bubbles, but the last couple pictures are of a telehandler and boom lift.
With the old south end zone structure, the data source of the score and clock was different than the video board itself. If the south board just duplicates the north now since it's just one large screen, your scenario wouldn't work anymore.
Oh my.... that ribbon board with the two video boards is going to look incredible....especially at night.
I thought that was kind of funny. In the oilfield we just called them a forklift and manlift, respectively.
Give me JTS new set up every single day over Kinnicks Tacky attempt at ribbon boards. They would have been better off just not having ribbon board. It looks awful.Full field view from today.
Was on a walk over there yesterday afternoon and was able to see it all in person. This thing is looking incredible. Cadillac of football stadiums. Excited to see those stands packed this fall. And the dual boards will be bad ***.
This has probably been asked (and answered) numerous times, but I'll ask anyway since I don't know. I'm sure there is a good reason for the gap in between the upper deck stands and the video board? Why didn't they just extend the upper deck a bit more toward the middle from both sides, OR make the video board structure larger to "enclose" those gaps a bit more?
Pretty sure it was about sight lines. If they were closer to the video board the people closest would not be able to see the corner of the end zone.
Okay, thanks.
So as it is now, if a person sitting in the very top corner closest to either side of the videoboard, is he/she: a)actually behind/south of the videoboard?, b)even with the videoboard?, or c)in front/north of the videoboard?
Even with, but it's also about 12-15 feet deep, so you're behind the front edge, I do believe. I don't think you'll be able to see the videoboard at all from those top row seats, but it's also not like you'll be reading the "IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY" on the backside, either.
The only thing I would like for JTS that Kinnick has is the seats close to the field. Just makes the crowd feel like they are more a part of the game.Give me JTS new set up every single day over Kinnicks Tacky attempt at ribbon boards.

Oh, we alll know that the crane is buried beneath the bleachers now.
I've never had a problem feeling part of the game at Jack Trice--even with seats in the upper deck.
Departure of another crane this evening.
Correction. As noted above by JP4CY, this is a boom-lift, and I think it may have been just arriving because there are a few more of them there now.
