Fans not excited to come to Des Moines

I saw plenty of that at Hilton. I was in a wheelchair for the first five conference games in Jan & Feb. We had all kinds of problems getting parked. One attendant told us that people showed up two hours before the games so that they could get the spaces next to Hilton. Watched plenty of people walking to those cars after games, while more than a few of us in chairs pushed up & over the road to the lot on the other side. Fun times. Gave me a renewed respect for the struggles of folks in wheelchairs.
I just heard about that hoops & hops thing on the radio on the way in this morning. But the concourse info is REALLY exciting!!!
I don't meet the bedazzled jeans and backward hok hat requirements to hang out on Court Ave.
My mom has a pass. If I can drop her off at the front door, I will do that and avoid using the pass. Only time that I will use it is when there is no way to reasonably drop her at the front doors. I feel that we have ways to avoid using it and leave it for those who need it.
The local HS has about 6-8 spots that can be used for handicapped parking. About half pull up and watch in their vehicles. The rest jump out and run to the top of the bleachers. Ticks me off, my mom will struggle to attend a game. (My inlaws do this also)

I thought he did too because a poster here said he did. Then I looked into it for myself and found out that's not at all what he said.
True story: I saw multiple mobile homes parked at cuttys today decked out in UK stickers. I had to pull in. Talked to them, said very impressed with DSM area and excited about the golf dome having showers in the locker rooms.
bringmagicback, "I'm sure it is fun following the team with your RV, but I bet it will be nice to get back home after the weekend to sleep in your regular bed".
UK fan, "huh?"
UK fan, "huh?"
Actually True Story: The golf dome, clubhouse, and everything that was there was torn down over a month ago. Why are you lying?
I first noticed it down on 2/26. So I guess it hasn't been over a month. I regret my mistake, unlike bringmagicback who lies for unknown reasons.

I drove by there today and did not even notice.. then again, I've been avoiding 100th over there because of the construction.
Lol it was a joke obviously, for one, mobile homes arent normally that mobile, 2nd, the domes been gone awhile, 3 why the hell would the stay at cuttys, 4, why would I drive past cuttys as I live 2 hours away.
Sorry I ruined your night.
Bringmagicback: "knock knock"
Seattleclone: "nobodies there, were in a car, why would someone knock on the car door? why are you lying"

Omahas arena was a similar distance from the old market as WF is from Court. When they started to pile up the events, new bars and restaurants moved in and that space is pretty much gone now. DM is fine. It's not the P&L, but it probably has more character. Personally, I agree with the poster that said the P&L was cookie cutter. It's fun when ISU is playing, but outside of that, I'd rather go to Westport. Probably not a popular opinion.
