Just happened to look at my Facebook news feed right as Cyclones.com posted it.

Awesome.

The length of the structure will be 1/3 longer than the present press tower at the stadium.

Interesting they say it will show what it "MAY" look like.

That actually doesn't bother me so much. I think the vast majority of us are just looking for a general idea of what this thing is going to look like, and more than likely the video board isn't going to vary all that much structurally or general design. The face of the video board, on the other hand, for instance, location of the screen itself and the design of advertisements and such, might differ from the renderings.

Anything is better than nothing for sure!

In before half of CF loves it and half of CF hates it.

You guys see on the main page of cyclones.com they have a view of it from the parking lots?

I'm not a fan of the tube metal supports. They make it look too...temporary. Other than that, the size looks nice.

 

[Tre4ISU]

I don't know what everyone is excited about. This won't increase capacity and the end will look empty.

Thats what she said

 

[cy4prez7]

It's going to be 100+ feet tall!!!

This thing is going to be HUGE!!

IF WE CAN'T FILL THE OLD ONE WITH HIGHLIGHTS, WHY DO WE NEED A NEW ONE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHY NOT JUST PARK A TRACTOR ON THE JACOBSEON BUILDING?!??!?!?!?!??!

"The length of the structure will be 1/3 longer than the present press tower at the stadium."

Just to put it into perspective.

Ordinarily I'd agree. However, with the design of the Jacobsen Building and all of the exposed steel that makes up Jack Trice Stadium in the first place, it doesn't look nearly as "temporary" - it looks like it fits with its environment. If exposed steel is done right, it can actually look sweet, and, at least IMO, in this case it does, especially with the diamond structure holding up the video board.

I hate it.

 

[CycloneErik]

I hate it.

I love it. Then I hate it. Then I love it, but I hate loving it. Overall, I love to hate it, but then I end up loving it again.
