Not mentioned above are a lot of non-FMFC but sorely needed improvements, such as women's locker rooms, backstage improvements for concerts at Breese, and paved surfaces to replace the patchwork of uneven leftover turf and plastic platforms.

Pros: - Permanent concessions - Tifos and video boards - Consolidated (?) bleachers may create a more cohesive unit of supporters Cons: - We need more instrument players in attendance again - Any mention of permanent restrooms - Bleacher sight-lines www.forwardmadisonfc.com/news/2026/09...

It’s the first of the month, and this is the closest I get to transit royalty

I think the flock manifested that goal. That and the constant berating of the Cosmos keeper’s water intake felt influential.

My favorite aspects of Madison’s are the button-operated space heaters above the benches, the wood ceilings, and the views.

"After wending their way down the valley for about three miles they came suddenly upon [...] an elevated prairie, and [...] to ten mounds, nine of which were circular, while one had the form of a mammoth. [They agreed to call] this beautiful spot Nine Mound Prairie."

I did this the hard way, but this isn't exactly uncharted territory. You can also find more info online (but I had more fun doing it on my own). www.veronahistory.com/historical-s...

Verona, WI has a prominent road named Nine Mound Rd. Suddenly curious about its origins, I went to some old plat maps (1873) showing 9 burial mounds in what is now the campus of Epic. Even better, Lidar maps still reveal some of these mounds very clearly.

"Epic has since protected the rediscovered mounds, and their horticulture team has planted native prairie plants in that area.  They are no longer "mounds", but it is good to know that this important and sacred link to Verona's early inhabitants is finally protected."

The test did not go as planned (it capsized). But that’s what I love most about it. I was seeing the iterative engineering process hard at work - knowing one day, four human (and a stuffy named Rise) will depend on the data collected from moments like this. 📸 NASA

With #Artemis II splashdown in the books. I wanted to share a memory from 14 years ago. What you see here is my view of the Orion capsule drop test performed on November 8th, 2011 at Langley Research Center in Virginia. I was invited to come as part of a #NASASocial program.

The #Artemis lunar flyby stream may just be the most interesting “podcast” I’ve ever listened to. Hearing live descriptions of craters and terrain from humans 250k miles away is mind bending.

Is that two capitol buildings I see? 🤖 Madison is beautiful enough without the fake AI skylines.

I love this idea, but I am curious about the concept design in the image. The flock end has permanent stands with tunnels and the VIP suites are replaced by more stands 🤔
