**** Official College Ames-day thread ****

[Beyerball]

I’m assuming a Gameday on TV will show a view behind them all the lots between Hilton and stadium if they are set up between Hilton and Schem build.. with the stadium in background.

I thought maybe they could do it in front of Olsen Bldg but wouod be to chaotic and they have to leave room for people behind the Gameday crew to stand etc..

If they set it up where they are TV audience will see massive tailgating with Stadium in background

I know but I want to know now. Why can’t we just have everything.

[Don't blame you, though. The sooner the better.]

Wonder how early people will have to get in line to into the area they set up for fans? For the gameday at Hilton I was there are 6 in the morning. For this it may end up being even earlier.

I was at Hilton at 6AM that day and we still had to wait in line

All these expectations are killing me. Hi anxiety going forward

Between Hilton and C.Y. Stephens.

I know I initially didn't like the location, but that's actually a really good spot to show the stadium and the tailgate. I personally would have preferred central campus, but with the game starting literally right after the show goes off the air, you'd have to leave Gameday really early just to get to the game. From the selected location as it is a number of people are going to be late for kickoff if they stay to watch Corso don Cy's head.

What time does CGD end and isn't the ISU/Iowa game in the afternoon?

 

[SaraV]

CGD ends at 11a CDT.

Game kicks at 3p CDT.

Well I'm wrong - for some reason I thought the kickoff was at 11.

Nope.

Gonna be a loooong day waiting, especially after a bye week and uncertainty for what ISU can do.

And I had to make sure I said "11" because that's actually "12" for me. So I have to wait for 4:00. Great.

GameDay in Ames is huge for ISU football. It says we’ve arrived and when the nation sees the size of the crowd that gathers behind their stage and our stadium, the whole nation will see what we’ve know for many, many years: ISU has the best fan base in college football.

I’m looking forward to the creative and humorous signs that will proliferate the crowd next Saturday. Something tells me we’ll see some of the best ever.

We as ISU fans deserve this, all of this.

Go Cyclones! **** Iowa!

If Corso picks the Hawks, screw the mascot head. He should lift up his shirt to show HAWKEYE ON MY BELLY.

 

[jcyclonee]

Can someone make a sign that says, 'Please don't feed Nate Stanley' ? I'm gonna be nowhere near Ames.

Also, we need one that reads, "Nate Stanley ate my Popeye's chicken sandwich!"

We need a still of that gif on a sign in that crowd

It’s really weird to me that “Beat” came out as asterisks.

Maybe because GTO said that he was hard?

I was second in line... started camping on Thursday. And it was totally not worth it. I'll be there Saturday but it's not worth the camp out.

 

[ZB4CY]

I’m planning on setting up in B4 we’re our spot is and will probably walk over to experience for a bit but will mainly watch on tv.

The shots you are on tv are usually cooler than anything else you can experience while standing 100 yards away from the set.

Interested in what they do with the lots, if they open earlier than 7 or not.

 

[CycloneErik]

Who is the genius that thought up "College AmesDay?"
There oughta be a prize for that one.
And a note: It wasn't me. I just wish it was.

 

[Spanky]

I can't be there, but someone please photoshop the classic photo to:
"HERBSTREIT"
On my belly

If Tech N9ne doesn’t schedule an impromptu concert in Ames on Friday night then he hates money.
