All of this going on, I'm surprised they aren't doing more parking underneath the new structures. Elevate them above the current ground level slightly and it allows for a little extra protection if any flooding happens in the area again. Looks like some if it is already elevated. I would think with all of this going on, you'd want some kind of parking structure to go in. This is something I would think you'd want as many people as possible to have easy access to.
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hotel is going in the green space isn't it ? With the RV's moving to the east we may not lose that many spots. Be interesting on gameday with the parking. Shops and bars, but you will probably need a pass to park in the lots right by the complex.
Thinking in terms of leaving the north parking lot after games, they would have to close the round-about, right? That would be a cluster if they left that open. Also, it would be great if they forced people to head out a certain way. For example, the people in the SW part of the lot, have to go west on 4th street and then south on Beach or continue west.
This is next level amazing. ISU is taking a Fenway Park/Angel Stadium/Busch Stadium mentality and blowing the lid off of the fan experience
This is really nice stuff if it doesn't flood and gets enough support to keep the store fronts from being taped over.
From my era in Ames until now.....night and day
Looks like a great place to hang out during a rain delay.
There could be ways to deal with that. Some sort of shuttle system, maybe?
I wish they also included Jack trice NEZ renovation plans. Closing the end zone gives better stadium experience instead of the current horse shoe look
That seems like more of a Shelbyville idea.
Ames is in desperate need of more good meeting/convention space. This would open the doors to a lot of new meetings business, especially by adding a walk able hotel.
Another P&L like district, in Arlington, TX they just opened Live by Loews hotel paired adjacent to a "Texas Live District," between Cowboy Stadium and the new Rangers Stadium. Its pretty incredible. I'm about to sign a contract for a major convention there.

Well, I admit they Pollard said this would be a "Facilities" Update. Not really a facility update but overall a complete Department project update.
I think there was mention of a Volleyball and Wrestling practice facility and the Hilton update would continue as planned but no additional details about them.
I dont think we will see an actual stadium upgrade plan until after the performance center and Hilton are complete now. And Maybe now until after this is at least being constructed.
It doesnt look like those spaces are going to be paved. It shows most are grass and like 160 are gravel. Unless I am missing something..
Nice that the rendering has the glass sheets installed around the Hilton facade too. I'm really looking forward to those renovations.
Yeah I'm wondering what the current timeline is on those renovations
