JTS construction webcam?

You did compare to Iowa and you cited the suites. I still haven't seen the numbers of suites they have compared to isu

Please list the number of suites each has so I can understand just how far isu is behind in that area.

I don't think isu has a need for more suites and I don't see the disparity you do. I will be interested in the numbers you must know.

My post earlier stated a simple fact that kinnick has not had some of the improvements that have already been done at trice. Why anyone chose to argue those facts is beyond me.

It's right there in black and white in the article.

BTW an open end to the stadium is not the same as huge gaps between all four sides. I prefer the open end to that but to each his own. They are not the same thing, however.

The beauty of this world is that no one is required to agree with anyone else.
 
I read about the remodeling to kinnick. Sounds to me like they are in catch up mode on the stadium. Almost everything listed was something isu already had done.

The new dorm would be a new addition though. I wonder if any general fund money would be used for the dorm. Projects get a lot easier when the state subsidizes their programs for millions more than isu gets.


Are you kidding me? It had to have hurt when you hit your head that hard. Maybe you should have it checked again?
 
whatever happened in the past has nothing to do with this project.

I got a real hard laugh out of that one. I wish I could collect millions each year that I don't deserve and then have someone say that really didn't matter later.

That's good stuff right there.[/QUOTE]

Could you give specific examples or details of what you are talking about? Otherwise, I have no idea what this issue is.

Also, when the SEZ is finished, we will have 3,542 club seats and we currently have 46 suites. Looks like Kinnick has the same # of suites and less club seating at this point. But KSU, for example, now has 71 suites, 152 loge boxes and 2800 club seats.
 
Now I wont truly be in a position to judge but I think the fan experience will be better at jack trice. And that is really all that matters. The dual video boards will be spectacular.
 
Type in regents proposal to change funding to state colleges and then read how much Iowa gets per iowa student compared to isu.

For decades the University of iowa has been over funded and the regents never corrected the error. (millions per year more in funding)

The regents tried to correct the issue this year. In other words iowa has built their college at the expense of tax payers and the other state colleges as they were grossly overfunded. They still are as the legislature was scared to take the 12 million per year from them.

Just imagine the dorms etc isu would have if the state wasn't subsidizing the u of i.

So isu has more club seats and suites than iowa does? Thanks for the info.

Haverhill? :)

Wtf is going on in this thread

They should get an internal webcam for the following reasons:
1. So we can continue to widely speculate on details most of us have no direct knowledge on.
2. To make sure the crane is ok.

I've been told I'm not allowed to compare ISU to KSU without being called a closeted K-State fan. If I mention anything Texas A&M does, I'm an Aggie Mason Jar. I decided to exit stage left from the conversation since it goes down the same pointless spiral every time when you and/or Ribs are involved.

Since you insist, I still believe that a long range plan (20+ years) should include club sections on each sideline between the two decks, instead of in an endzone, since those seats are low and a fairly decent distance behind the endzone. Suites would then be located in a new structure on the west side of the stadium, above the second deck. Semi-premium donors, who sit in club sections, but not suites, shouldn't have to watch the scoreboard for all plays past the 40 yard line on the other side of the field, since their seats are low and 20-30+ feet behind the endzone. Congratulations on winning this quantitative war in your head against Iowa, but its still my opinion that there is a lot of work to do before our premium seating wins the qualitative war in regards to quality of suites, and quality of location within the stadium.

Let me sum up your post. You were stating isu was inferior without even knowing the actual information. Why would a Cyclone fan do that?

Why does it not surprise me? Here is how your post should have read.

Haverhill post "I was wrong."

If you expect me to feel some sort of guilt for defending ISU to ridiculous claims like yours then you may want to evaluate just what you are doing here.

This will be my last post in this thread about iowa but I saw in the paper they are using dormitory bonds to pay for their dorm.

I am not that familiar with college funding streams but that doesn't sound like athletic department money to me which was listed just before it.

There's a reason the Sukup endzone club seats are priced far below that of the Jack Trice club.
 
Hope we don't see a flood

In a flagrant attempt to keep this focused on the actual construction, we don't have to worry about the field flooding. The square at the east side of the south endzone has new pumps under it for keeping the field dry. Ben Bruns said that the field is way below grade in a flood plain, but even the old pumps seemed to do the job. The new pumps should remove any concern about the field flooding.

I'm always skeptical when it comes to the battle of Engineer v. Mother Nature. Momma usually wins.
