It's nice the sports performance center is named the Stark Performance Center so we can still refer to it as the SPC!View attachment 85872
Not sure where I missed the announcement... But the Albaugh Family Plaza and Stark Performance Center have names on the Iowa State Parking website
Do you think this may be an exterior facing ribbon board?

They use the same graphic for the existing interior ribbon board. Below.

I would assume the Stark Performance Center is where Matt builds Ironmen.It's nice the sports performance center is named the Stark Performance Center so we can still refer to it as the SPC!![]()
If we can see them does that mean they're running them? I wonder if it's just a test. If they're running the sprinklers maybe they're prepping to install sod this week!!!Thanks for the info on the sprinkler service. I grabbed this picture from today’s webcam feed. Looking closely at the NE hillside one can see a series of white dots that appear to be the sprinkler heads.

Did the old hillsides have sprinklers installed? If not, it looks like they plan on keeping these new hillsides in much better shape. That, along with better slopes/views should translate into a superior hillside experience!![]()

I believe this was scrapped as it didn’t fit in with the long term vision for the multi-use development district.
I believe the last rendering pollard tweeted showed some lighting elements (on poles I think) around the grass areas.It's hard to see on the camera but there are a bunch of light pole footings/pedestals already installed. I imagine those will be individual lights and not strings like the renderings, but I suppose it's still possible.
Reducing wear and tear on the paved areas? Form support? Something like that I would guess. Or, maybe they need that dirt in place and settled before working on the Trice stripes? I think those will end up right around there.Somebody drove by this morning and sent me this. Why would they flatten out that dirt before they poured the sidewalks?

I appears there will be large grassy area in the plaza
Let’s start a go fund meAnd, if this is the most recent rendering, then I'm sad that the stripes sculpture is no longer in the plans. Darn.
They became much more visible after all the rain we had awhile back. I think the rain may have washed away some of the soil?If we can see them does that mean they're running them? I wonder if it's just a test. If they're running the sprinklers maybe they're prepping to install sod this week!!!
So the concrete doesn't get tire marks.Somebody drove by this morning and sent me this. Why would they flatten out that dirt before they poured the sidewalks?

And at the very end of the article, there was mention of the gateway bridge. Article mentions no major construction on the bridge until after the FB season.Nice flyover picture on the inside ISU story today.
