Jamestown ND (UJ) – The University of Jamestown is preparing to raise the new Nelson Family Bubble over the coming days. Work begins today (11/12) at 2 pm as crews start spreading the bubble material across the turf field, with additional setup expected to continue tomorrow afternoon. Inflation of the structure is anticipated for November 17 or 18.

The new Nelson Family Bubble will feature a refreshed look, with an orange stripe encircling the base and white material on top. The original bubble was torn open during a severe storm in late June, as shown in the aerial photo taken after the damage.
