Jack Trice Phase 2 Completion Date

**jaretac** · 05-05-2008, 07:11 PM

According to ISU Facilities Planning and Management project site, the anticipated completion date for Jack Trice phase 2 is August 2009.

You can access that info at this website by logging in as a guest, click on Jack Trice Improvement phase 2, click on general info. Guest ActiveProject Login.

You should also take a look at a article that CycloneReport did about JT and the logic behind adding more seats. Any doubters should read it: http://iowastate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=804553.

-- I should note that not every project on this FP&M's site is 100% accurate and the info, obviously, can still be changed. However, the phase 1 info on this site is accurate and the presence of (what appears to be) the most resent drawing for phase 2 leads me to believe that the site has been updated recently, and therefore this info is accurate. --

That would be sweet as hell if that was true.... Too bad they will have to tear up half of the NEW turf in the south endzone for this.

Its taking forever and a day to complete a couple suites and a restroom or two, i doubt that they can complete the horseshoe, 1 level or 2, in 1 year.

Yeah, it's taking them this long just to finish one side of the stadium for the concession stands so how would they be able to finish 2 decks of seats in less than a year?

Pre formed concrete slabs from the company plant?

You'd be surprised how much work could be completed in a couple months. They would just have to hire more labor. For example look how fast minnesota's new stadium is going up when they started the major work (before this they had to clean up the soil because it was contaminated) in November.

You'd have to think with that aggressive date, there's a big donor or two already lined up.

Texas has been renovating their North Endzone this off season to be done for the 2008 season

Hopefully we wouldn't have a bad winter so we could complete it during the off-season

You would have to think that, and it seems to me that it would have to true with the date so early. Hopefully it is a big donor for the program, that would be awesome!

By throwing more resources at it.... the kind of resources that 65 million can buy..... that's how.

Not that it would be a huge deal, but maybe they want it done before the next Iowa game in Ames. I think with a bigger stadium, they wouldnt do season tickets only for the Iowa game. They would sell individual tix with a jacked up price.

If it's finished August '09, that would be awesome!!!!!!!

It all depends on how much you throw at it and what your deadline is. They know for a fact that they have until August to get the west side done. No reason to pay a lot of overtime if you don't need to.

They built a 5 story office building near my house in just over a year. It's taken them almost 2 years to build the addition to Coover Hall. And they are building the 35W bridge in a little over a year. It all depends on how much you want to spend on a project and what your goals are.

Could be done easily. Bigger projects require bigger crews.

I'm guessing the current project has a completion date in a contract and it's up to the contractors to finish by that date. You wont see a contractor put in extra resources to a project that doesn't need to be complete yet.
