    Sweet 16 Tickets

    I live in Chicago and I'm definitely waiting until right before the Michigan game starts to look for tickets. I would like to see part of the Michigan game, but I'm good missing the first half if it means getting a much cheaper ticket.

    That was two years ago.

    *** Official Tennessee State vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I'm going to go with Ewing theory with Jefferson out. Trying to stay positive.

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    It's like $7 million, it's essentially chump change. Thinking about the financing costs on a $1 billion stadium and it will be many times their current rent. The stadium needed an update at some point, but the new design was awful. The most common refrain is that it looks like a space ship...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Yes agree with all of this. Even if the Bears go to Arlington Heights, a place much much nicer than anywhere in NW Indiana, I wouldn't be surprised to see people still stay in Chicago because that's where the fun stuff is. Sure if you're coming in just for the game, staying in AH makes sense...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    I would say that is very much not certain, especially if they go to NW Indiana. Aside from that, the venue can still attract a lot of other sporting events, like college football, international soccer events, etc. It's not going to be ideal, and I would expect a drop in revenue. The Bears...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    No, the city will not be offering incentives to other teams to play there, they will just fill Soldier field with other events. What teams do you think would even come play there? At best the NWSL Red Stars team might play there. They aren't going to get another NFL team. The park district...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    No it doesn't, why do you think it does? If the city doesn't get to own the stadium, then they should absolutely not be paying for it. Why are pro teams the one thing the public is obligated to subsidize? I am not giving my money to billionaires.

    ***Official portal tracker thread***

    Penn State was in a similar position as us. When Franklin got fired, most of the team entered the portal. So not really surprising that Campbell will also take anyone willing to come to PSU.

    *** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Ole Miss looks great because we can't even hit the open ones. Milan could easily have 9 more points and this game would be totally different.

    Yes please. What is he doing?

    *** Official Colorado vs #8 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I'm pretty sure the NCAA is like a snake ranking. Top 1 seed gets the worst 2 seed, and also the best 3 seed in their bracket. It's where we were last year as a 2-seed and getting UCONN and Illinois. **** that was a crap bracket to get stuck in.

    What is your "House Divided"?

    My wife went to Illinois, which really wasn't much of an issue for me until last March. I'm still a little bitter about that one. Mostly she doesn't care about sports though, so it rarely comes up.

    The 3-point streak ends, but no one seems to care

    I just heard about it on sports radio in Cleveland, so it’s at least big enough to get a mention out here.

    Official Announcement of TJ as the New Iowa State Mens BBall Coach

    The crowd was there in the Utah game. When Utah had that small lead early, the crowd was up and getting loud to get the team back in it. Once they got the lead back, they never gave it up again and it wasn't really close, so there wasn't really a need for the crowd to go crazy. I expect the...
