The crane will soon be trapped. Better email the AD and see how they plan on removing it
They'll just build the end zone around it like Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel!
They could incorporate it into the game day experience. "Cy's Sky View." Hook a couple of seats to it and lift them out over the field during plays for a real time sky cam experience. They could even swing them between the goal posts when opposing teams are kicking field goals or extra points to try to block it.They'll just build the end zone around it like Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel!
I seem to remember a story I read while at Champagne Illinois at a game.....
When they were building that stadium... the rain was so bad.. that a steam shovel became buried in the field... and it supposedly sunk enough that they left it there.... somewhere under that football field is a big steam shovel...
ahhh.. found it.... it was a bulldozer...
Heavy rain during the construction resulted in a bulldozer sinking into the field. It was decided that the expense of removing the bulldozer would have been greater than leaving it buried under the field. It remains there today.[SUP][8][/SUP]

Thanks CRGR8. Love the video.
Do they really have both a "Ben Bunge" and "Ben Bruns" as spokesmen for Weitz?
Wednesday....crane will only have left where it is sitting pretty soon:
Interesting how they have built the lower SE corner support to fit around the old pump station.
Stuck on 3:24am
Need my fix!
Its not stuck. I can confirm the sun did not rise in Ames today. #HoibergWatch2015
Just saw this event in of those alumni emails from ISU:
- June 11: Bringing You ISU: Jack Trice Stadium Renovations, 5:15 p.m., West Des Moines Hy-Vee
Join us for this unique new series that brings ISU to YOU in Des Moines. Ben Bruns (A)(’01 construction engr), senior business development director for The Weitz Company, will speak about the Jack Trice Stadium South Endzone expansion. Admission is free.
Register online.
Shut up. If it really did leave while the webcam was down there will probably be a bigger meltdown that ensues than the announcement that Hoiberg took the Bulls job.
