JTS construction webcam?

The only thing I might change would be potentially using "Jack Trice Stadium" instead of "Iowa State University" but they want it to be an entrance to the University so I understand it.

Back around 2007, then changed all the signage to be Jack Trice Stadium as they wanted to highlight the significance of the name.

Didn't someone say that is the sprinkler system?

On another note, I almost forgot how crappy that endzone looked before this renovation. Glad the days of south hillsides and metal bleachers are gone. Cue the Jefferson's theme song boys, we're movin on up!

I was watching the 2002 Iowa State vs Nebraska game on Cyclone TV. They were talking up the new south bleachers and scoreboard during the game. Funny how at the time it was a big deal.
 
A red backing on that scoreboard might look bright and shiny now, but after 4 years it'll fade like those bleachers and look crappy. Plus, that side always faces the sun so the fading will be worse.
If we could go back and do it all over when the stadium was first built, I wish they would have kept all the bleachers silver so fading isn't a problem. Simpler is better in this case.

The new bleachers have already faded. Its crazy how fast they fade.
 
The "faded" seats just look that way because of the cement.

Best way to fix the look would be to add seatbacks to every bleacher. Probably too expensive to be worth it.

Thank you, Aclone.

Now would be the time for anyone driving past the stadium to post pics of the exterior. Please and thank you.

You are welcome.

FYI, tomorrow is likely the last day I'll be able to do this for a while. I'll be having eye surgery, and will doubtless be out of commission for several days.
 
I have been watching the webcam and seeing pics on Twitter, but had not drove past until Saturday. As many have said, the pictures and the webcam do not do it justice.
 
I about got in an accident yesterday marveling at the stadium. Yeah, it's that impressive! I can't wait for football season! ..yes I am serious
 
Interesting that the bleachers are all Cardinal so far in that upper corner. I thought they would alternate Cardinal/Gold like the rest of the stadium. It looks like the upper deck will end up being all Cardinal? I assume they wouldn't alternate just between the corners. They even showed the alternating colors in the new virtual venue demo: http://jacktricestadium.io-media.com/?camefrom=EMCL_605785_26396872
