Yes. Someone was clever and resourceful and called the ticket office and confirmed.
Guessing that there will be plywood forms on the top and bottom and they will fill with concrete after it sets.
It's just the soffit form for the concrete. It'll all be stripped out later.
Was thinking...wouldn't it be cool if for the sidewalk between the SPC and the tunnel entrance, they did it with brick pavers that former players could purchase and put their names and a message on? Similar to the plaza in front of Catt Hall. Sort of a "We built the foundation that you stand on today" kind of thing. Could be just name, position, years played on each brick. I'm sure former players would be all over it.
I drove by today and found the outside view pretty interesting. Really gives a feel for what it will look like as we approach from the north.
I'd think that former players would get a brick for free.
Anybody else who wants to put a name out there could pay for one.
At some point it would be nice if former players helped support the program after their free ride. I think few do.
Seems like a number of posters have penis envy. Thinking everyone but them should help fund the program. Not a former scholarship athlete among them.

I stopped to wonder today. Has anyone actually stopped and taken a pic of the webcam, so we can see exactly where it’s set up?
Not to be greedy. Thanks for this pic!
Unless Pollard himself confirms, I won’t believe it.
I took the pic a little too quickly. I wish I had gotten some of the tan concrete panels. Maybe I can get another shot tomorrow.
Personally, I'd just limit it to former players and staff. Fans have other avenues to get their names on things like in front of the Alumni Center. If they charged $100 a brick, I guarantee they'd have the walkway full in no time. Put the Letterman's Club in charge of it.
Here's what I'd like to know: Are they going to build out the north end of the Jacobson under the current roof? Or just the current area behind the plywood? I think that they are building out underneath the walkway. But, the upper level does have a floor under the overhang out to the support poles...they could build out to there if they wanted to.
That free ride is paved with blood sweat and tears. If supporting ISU is in their hearts great. There are several hundred students for every scholarship. We should all support the program. I think we do.
Don't lecture me. I am fully aware of what it takes to be a scholarship athlete. I doubt you have my experience.
Here are some shots from directly north of the construction.
