The north end zone project

[tony0051]

Found a cool set of videos here. You can skip the initial video to see the reno job. Intro video is pretty cool. This is going to make Kinnick a mother trucker to play in if you a road team. An enclosed north end zone will make that place a rock concert loud crowd. Teams won't hear anything and the energy in that crowd is going to be amazing. Plus cutting the wind passing thru will make for better passing conditions and with the move back to vertical passing and crossing routes will add a lot to Iowa's offense. http://kinnickedge.org/

That was awesome thanks for that

 

[Rustys Dad]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Don't skip the opening video.

 

[NevadaHawk]

That was indeed very cool and thanks for sharing.

 

[Hawksky]

Wow. That opening video gets me pumped up. Season can't start soon enough.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Don't skip the opening video.

Good call!

Wait a sec! HF was offered 3 different NFL jobs?

Makes me wish the south endzone had a little more thought put into it.

$89 million and that GD watertower is still white?!

Almost perfect though.

Yep, a Tigerhawk at midfield would look sweet!

That gave me goosebumps... can't wait for the season to start.

I still hate all the stainless steel crap they have used for the renovations. Looks ugly

Same goes for the children's hospital

I just spent a week at the uofi hospital for a surgery and thought the children's hospital was amazing. Love the new look.

Thanks Man.

It probably would have if the BTN existed back then

Anyone know when the water tower is expected to be torn down?

I don't see any designs for weed fields in the north end zone.

I have seats in the north end zone, and the view is great. We've kind of felt like our seats 'should' be at a donation level, but we floated under the radar. Looks like we will lose this our seats now. Has the university said what parts of the north end zone will still be available for the non-doner level?

Upper level above the club level. Everything below is donation

So they aren't going to put the ribbon back on the north end zone?

Last I heard or read is they are.

According to the linked website, they are keeping it.

Those right under the water tower are non-donor.

Saw this rendition awhile back, does anybody have an update? I wonder if this is still the plan.

No kidding.

I actually like the south end zone because it wasn't overthought. It fits Kinnick, this new erector set doesn't

I think the SE is too far away from the field. Wish they would've built the stands closer to the field and steeper

From what I hear this is still the plan. There will be a 3-tower campus with 1 tower being completed soon.

 

[hexumhawk]

Think the athletic department hit a home run with this addition and restructuring of the North EZ.

Really wish they would have taken the time with the South EZ when they had the chance to configure it more like the North. My biggest issues with the south side are the gaps in corners and the overall aesthetics. The could have done more.

If they are going to keep the gaps, plan some corn or something unique in those spots.

I see someone else already replied about the non-donation seating location. However, I was reading through my season ticket renewal papers last night and saw that displaced South Endzone ticket holders will get first crack at re-seating for 2018. Also, no new season tickets will be allowed into the South for 2017, to keep people from abusing this part of the process. There's a few more details, so I'd encourage you to read your mailing from the ticket office if you haven't already.

I do agree with this.

I think there is a pitch code they had to adhere to

Outdoor club seats require a $1.958 annual contribution plus cost of the season ticket

Yikes.

None of the finished renovations have looked just like the artists renderings. Everything so far has ended up fitting Kinnick. I would expect the same with this one.

Do you remember the old South end zone? That was almost literally an erector set. I'm sure this will look great too. If you have been to a lot of other stadiums, you get an appreciation for how good of a job Iowa has done with Kinnick aesthetically. Many do look like erector sets.

If you said yikes to this, you are not the target audience.
