Pollard: big announcement coming soon
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
Moving next year's home opener to San Diego where they have no weather.
The big announcement is that we’re annexing the School Out East, and they will now be known as ISU-IC.
Prounounced "I suck".
I don't know how anyone could say that. Sure ISU got a premiere CC course under Jamie's leadership. But also in that time the Cyclone Sports Complex was built which includes a new field for soccer, new track facilities, and a new softball stadium. Also golf got a dedicated practice course.Not a chance. AD does great on football, MBB and WBB but I think only really cares about men's cross country among the non-revenue sports. And maybe with our budget that needs to be the way but sad for me as I follow a number of the minor sports. Feels like volleyball is a little bit of a fading star compared to, say, five years ago.

Yeah he has done some good things for sports that nobody actually even cares about. Most AD's don't do that. Like Cross Country.
Edited, misread post. My bad. Sorry knownothing, you actually knew something for once!

Why don't you think Jamie does things for non big sports? That's strange because he has actually done a ton.
Based on reports from higher level donors it seems like a plan for Iowa State Center and the parking areas. Expansion and updates to Scheman, a plaza area, new parking area, and a pedestrian bridge are some of rumors.
What he said in the interview I heard was it would be a great pick me up if we lose or just more positive news if we win. So no, I think it's being announced either way.
From what I heard about what was shared Friday night at the high donor level reception this is pretty accurate. I also heard that they plan to build a hotel on site, taking some of the parking. Sounded like there will only be donor level parking near the stadium in the future. All the G lots will no longer be public parking. The bridge will cross over University Blvd somewhere around 16th street.
I just hope we don't wreck the great tailgating we are known for and introduce a lot of Vendors (food stands). Its something special we have now, lets not totally desimate it for $$$$$.

Convention center and hotel near Scheman - with a parking ramp
Paved parking east of University with a walk over bridge to JTS
A game day plaza - like a smaller Power and Light (seems like a stretch to me)
Like I said rumors only.
So the G lots would be for donors only?
That seems like a mistake to tell the general public to take a hike and find somewhere else (not near the stadium) to tailgate. Part of what makes ISU tailgating great is the ease of parking in relation to the stadium for anybody.
