Wasn't there a plan to work on that watershed? If they can get the water moving faster south of town, it won't be backed up in Ames.

They significantly widened the bridge over 30. Here is an article discussing the plan.

Entertainment District could benefit from an indoor parking garage. In the winter months, ISU BB at the Hilton wouldn't have to scoop snow off their vehicles, also wouldn't need to worry about hail or wind blowing debris into cars.

Great news then, they are mitigating that risk. We are an engineering school, we'll figure it out. Saylorville lake was a river for thousands of years. Now it's a lake. It's not magic, people know how to fix these things.
Put down some sawdust to act as an absorbent. You're welcome.

Wouldn't be bad for football either when it's raining or freezing cold. Expensive as sin, but interesting idea.

Even if they build a ramp. It won't be indoor as you can't dig down in a floodplain. We are stuck with the cold

Tailgating in a parking garage isn't tailgating. Just my opinion having experienced it a couple times.
My longstanding view has been you need a non tailgating lot for people who just want to park. Sometimes schedules don’t allow early arrival or some people just don’t tailgate. This could be a great opportunity to put those people.
