Random question, but do you know if they're still using plastic fermenters like they were when they opened?
Cytown Update

I really like Torrent. Alluvial probably has better beer but it’s located so far outside of town that it’s a pain to get to. When I have meetings in Ames, I usually hit Torrent for a few flights while my Great Plains is cooking.
Alluvial is outside of town but it is not pain to get to by any stretch. Downtown, campus, west side, it’s about 4 turns. I could argue torrent is harder to navigate from several spots in Ames, and at Alluvial, you never have to worry about parking which is not the same for torrent.
After spending 10 hours inside CY Stephens this past weekend it can use all the money possible generated from CY Town.
Can anybody explain why the AD took on CY and Fischer and all the repair costs that go along g with them?
I don’t know officially but I think it had to do with the AD’s track record of running a profitable event business and now thinking about it could have been a requirement to get CyTown going which makes perfect sense since it is an entertainment district and not strictly for sports.
I don’t know who ran it previously, perhaps the hospitality department? Hotel and event management? Not sure what the dept is called just familiar with the major at ISU.
ISU itself. No department. And ISU kept deferring maintenance, so costs continued to rise. Similar to other buildings on campus, but obviously the uses of the IS Center buildings are different from those on campus with classrooms, labs, etc. VenuWorks was hired years ago as the management company for booking shows and doing coordinated and associated programming.
They change the toilet paper as it gets used.
The snark here legitimately makes me excited for next year’s update. You better deliver!
What are the alternatives? Maybe it will drive increased housing demand surrounding the rest of the development.
This is a solid article on how CY Stephens, Fischer, and Scheman ended up under Athletics.
Supporters of Iowa State's Stephens Auditorium ask, 'How did we get to this point?'
"It feels like a part of the soul of this town is being taken away," one donor said after ISU's athletics director called for closing the auditorium.

Im currently on campus … maybe I will stop by to see if they made any updates from Saturday.
I thought they approved a bid to replace the carpet so I was surprised it hadnt been replaced yet.
