He's here until he wants to retire. But 2030...2032 (when Otz and Campbell contracts are up). Gonna be a hell of thing to handoff to the next person.
Cytown Update
- Thread starter norsemen
- Start date
The fact that the 60 residential units are primarily game day suits is a good idea. I mean, imagine being able to go for Game 1 and staying all week with the Iowa game following.
ISU could be a top AD job in the nation when it's all said and done, if you look at status of programs, financial position, and the built-in potential of CyTown. That's crazy when you consider Bruce Van de Velde was who we had immediately before JP.
I never figured Jamie to be a legacy type guy, and maybe he isn't the kind of guy looking to have his name plastered on a building some day. He comes across as a highly competent manager and maybe a bit of a bean counter. But this is so radical for the university and the community it's hard to view it any other way. This will be successful and he'll deserve most of the credit for making it happen.

The Sukup family is going to want to put a faux grain bin roof on the ampitheater and they must be stopped at any cost.
Bruce was making sure lights were turned off to save $$
With JP we're wondering what bar - restaurant will be an anchor in CyTown.
Huge huge difference
Hok fans will use the nearest tree.
I'm really, really impressed with the overall vision that they have here, and with the thought they've put into it to not only make it very cool, but also economically viable.
Pollard is a goddamn genius...easy to piss and moan about things he's done or doesn't do but fact remains...he's been a godsend to ISU athletics.
It's honestly tough to list all of the reasons how much this kicks serious a$$, considering how this is landing.
This project is EPIC

With having three young kids, our family will definitely take advantage of the Cy's house playground if it is similar to the renderings.
I can see those suites selling very quickly. Demand for those will be high for donors/fans, especially those that have longer drives and don't want to bring an RV.
Side investment as an Airbnb for the other 46 weeks of the year??
moving Johnny's makes a lot of sense. That place gets too full right now and they can sell more wristbands.
As a frequent traveler and Bonvoy member, I am happy it’s a Marriott property.
Wonder if the hotel will have a restaurant/bar as well? And if that is in addition to the Johnnys that will now be in Scheman?
That hotel bar would get blasted before and after games in Hilton.

I love the stuff for kids, especially the turf field. When the College Football Hall of Fame was in South Bend, they had a field outside there. The carpet wasn’t great but my kids spent hours there. Trying to kick field goals, playing pick up flag games, running pass routes, etc. Burn off some energy before and after going in the building.
If I won the lottery, I would freaking live in Cytown. Walk to concerts and games. Go down slides. Never worry about getting parking or how long it takes to leave. Hope they use the amphitheater for university music and theater productions.
