I thought opposing teams stayed in Ankeny, at one of the places off Oralabor? I'm not sure where I got that idea.
Misinformation so you don't go pull the fire alarms at 3 a.m.

100 year flood doesn't mean a flood every 100 years. It means during a given year, there is a one percent chance of it flooding at a certain elevation.But that was a 100 year flood so we are good for another 90+ years.
(and yes I know that is a natural recurring probability but with more runoff, etc. the likelihood of a recurrence is more like 20-30 years.)
And what engineers messed up when they built the football stadium?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.
Looks promising for the entertainment area
I am really curious how the flood plain map looks like in that district as determined by the Federal Government.The major reason Hilton got inundated up to the lower bowl was the berm under the loading ramp down into the building got washed away, kinda like a dam failure under a road. Hopefully they have corrected that with proper engineering. They also have flood gates at Scheman and Hilton Westend street entrance. Hilton had survived one flood prior to that with minimal damage, water came in through sewer pipes running through the berm (service for the locker rooms and floor drains on the main floor, the west end entrance was sandbagged for that flood. (Had 1" of water on main floor) but pumps were able to keep up with those sewer pipe backflow. Locker rooms had to be refurbished. But the millions of damage occurred when the back ramp gave way in the second big flood
I'd bet they DON'T have a liquor store. That would take money away from bars/restaurants/hotels within the district. I'm sure a hotel would offer a pantry like most hotels do anymore, but only for hotel guests. It seems like anything along the lines of a gas station/convenience store would be making less money (and less sales tax) than bars/restaurants/hotels, on very valuable real estate. People that want cheap booze will still go to one of the other handful of liquor stores on the way into their tailgates.It’s called an entertainment district not suburban strip mall district.
It’ll be bars/restaurants, a liquor store or convenience store, hopefully a place with a stage, and something fun like a barcade. The only traditional retail will be a fan shop which should be moved off duff anyway.
Please don't.If i am wrong about this i will come back here in 2035 and apologize to everyone one of you
I can't think of anything better than filling up on 10 pounds of carbs, stumbling into the parking lot, taking down a 30 rack and then standing in the sun for 4 hours.Maybe that's where the long awaited Olive Garden will go.
Please do.If i am wrong about this i will come back here in 2035 and apologize to everyone one of you
Would make sense to also use Ames Middle School for people West of Ames.Without a doubt parking is going to be a problem in the future for football games, so now is the time to start thinking ahead and planning for it. We have limited space around the stadium without much opportunity to grow.
So how about allowing stadium Saturday parking at the West towers with a shuttle to bring people down to the stadium. We already do not allow students to park around the stadium during FB games, so moving them out of the West towers parking lot should not be that big of a deal.
TCU and Baylor run a very efficient shuttle system to get fans down to their stadiums, have been on both, ISU can do the same for the West towers and the Northern part of the campus.
Except now everything upstream from Saylorville looks like a nuclear test site. Saylorville Lake was the worst thing the Army Corps of Engineers could have done. But hey, at least all the people who live outside their means have a place to enjoy their ski boats and jet skis until the bank repos them.Great news then, they are mitigating that risk.

No @#$&! This is Pollard‘s solution for a tapped out, small donor base. He’s conceded that the base isn’t growing and the small number of donors have their breaking point. Again, we lag behind all of our peers in donations; so…welcome the Pollard & Light district. When I get bumped to grass lots, that are newly paved, I won’t be blaming Pollard.
