Given the disaster that the football season was, I'm pretty surprised ISU is getting any sort of an expansion/renovation right now. If ISU can have a $60mil project after a 3-9 season, I'm fairly content for now.

I don't know how anyone could complain about the NEZ, even in its current state, and then rank OSU in the top 3 or 4 stadiums. I mean they have a goddamned massive brickwall for an end zone, it's not even made to look like something cool, it's just a massive brick wall. I couldn't imagine the number of kittens shat if we had a brick wall where the NEZ currently sits. Some of you need to be proud of who you are and stop with the self-hating inferiority complex.

OSU is a piece of crap, katdaddy. Wtf are you talking about

I want the wall 40 stories high.

I just imagine extra points going thru the uprights and the ball smacking against the wall.  Would be really awkward.  I'm in.
I think this happens at OSU fwiw.

Looks pretty cool Havs. You're only a pressbox and fixing that really awkward NEZ videoboard away from having a solid stadium. The University Boulevard shot isn't showing a levy so you might need to jump on that.

Looks nice, Havs.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Never. Jack Trice and Husky Stadium in Seattle are Sister Stadiums and we will never keep the water away.

Iowa State is really capitalizing on the momentum of hiring Mark Mangino.

I don't think you understand how bad that south endzone looks currently.

Pressbox is next phase.

I've never heard anyone make fun of ISU for their south endzone (honestly couldn't tell you what it looks like currently).  However I've heard just about everyone make fun of their pressbox and endzone with the video board on stilts.

Its a grassy hill with temporary bleachers behind the endzone... its gawd awful. It is far worse than a track. This has been priority #1 for over a decade.

Iowa State currently ranks #9 in the conference in number of club seats and luxury boxes; they are mostly located in between the two seating decks with a few in the small pressbox. This will be the next project if momentum can continue. Paul needs to win now... plain and simple.

Just realized this plan adds 3,000 "Club" seats, to which extent of "luxury" they could be in an endzone is beyond me, but very interesting nonetheless.

when I went to Ames for the 2012 game I was very impressed by how clean the stadium/concourse was. I also thought the concourse was asthetically very pleasing.
