Dirt work has started in the RV lot. Hard to see from the road since it’s so far from the road.
It's sort of a blessing and a curse that the Iowa State Center and Jack Trice was built in the 70s; a curse in that everything looks brutalistic and a bit depressing but a blessing because that is cheap to replicate when adding new buildings and infrastructure.
I personally kind of like brutalism look of certain buildings designed and built in the 60s and 70s but it's definitely not for everyone.
How does this walkway to Gate 1 work? It it supposed to be a walkway outside the stadium that runs alongside the walkway inside the stadium from the east side down to the gate?
External walkway that will connect the north end (ground level) to the ped bridge (concourse level).
I think there also is a walkway inside the stadium so that you can walk from the northeast concourse to the northwest concourse.
Correct, that opened last season. The one we're talking about is apparently under construction now.
Yes, there was dirt work and heavy equipment in that area east of the intramural fields yesterday when I drove by.
Are they putting a new ramp on the Northeast side of the stadium right below the new one. Didn’t know if this was an access path for vendors or what. From where the new walkway is on the east side it looks like whatever they grading may connect to it. Sorry would have taken a pic but I was driving.
I went one step further. On top of my earlier recommendations to Jaimie to capitalize on the web cam, I further conveyed to him that a drone cam covering all project progress daily across the university would be something a lot of people would be tuned into. The PR alone, not to mention obscure banner advertising would be a profit center for his department.
Yes. There were a couple of posts about it—including diagrams—in this thread not long ago.
I believe it’s access from the Bridge to the Plaza Area, without having to enter the Gate.
Thanks. That is the one I had seen. Do you know if that is just a mock-up? Or is it likely to be the actual configuration? I hoped they would put RV's back-to-back with bigger greenspace in-between. A rough count of the pads in this sketch seems like about the right total number.
Also in Cyclone Football Twitter thread.
I drove past the stadium yesterday. The new ped bridge decking has almost reached the east side of the stadium.

Last Friday, I went back into the RV Village and took these photos. The vantage point is from next to Coldwater Golf Course on the east edge of the area where the old practice field was.
P.S. sorry for the low fidelity and non-rotation of the photos, but it is the best I can do at the moment using my phone only.
