Ten years ago, Ben Bunge drew up plans to enclose the south endzone at Iowa State's Jack Trice Stadium.

At that time, Bunge was a student, a senior, in the school's engineering department and he came up with the plan as part of a project.

Now 32 years old, Bunge was pretty happy when he saw the finished project of a $50 million expansion that took more than 13 months to finish.

"It’s definitely wild,” said Bunge to the Des Moines Register.
