If this is another “We need a bigger press box” (not really a press box but expanding luxury suites) thread, I’m going to be really really……….
















you thought I was going to say pissed, right? No, bring it on. Our Bball team is rolling. Might as well talk about this too. Might as well find something to ***** about.

Thought it was interesting. You seem like an insufferable person with no sense of humor...I feel bad for you.

Its the beginning of a $700 Million project to renovate the stadium.

Got $700M to donate?

For reference the complete "South" End Zone at JTS was less than 1/10th that price.

Edit: just realized I put North instead of South end zone.... oops, it was late I guess.

Nobody said JTS needs to have the same renovation as Penn State...don't let your guard down to thwart future conversations about a pretty cool demolition...deer lowered

Listen, or read, I guess. But, we already have a thread about other colleges expanding facilities here:

If you want to show something unique, don’t make an thread about Pedo U. Call me an ass all you want, whether it’s about a press box or Pedo U. I’m going to complain. Penn St should not be forgiven ever for what they did to kids just because they have big boosters and TV money. They should do that to the whole stadium and never rebuild it. **** Penn St. and Joe Paterno. They can rot in hell.

Logistically, we could probably expand our press box without destroying it. Expand north and south by adding a couple more towers. We’d probably need to redo the concession stands though.

Eventually the sports press will just be AI. Get ready for GPT articles about the Iowa Cyclones and sketchy images of our linebackers with 11 fingers.

How big of a network server can we fit in the current box? :jimlad:

Would I love a bigger press box? Absolutely. But now we're coming to a point where players are going to be compensated via the university and CyTown is also on the docket. And unfortunately for us, we don't have big rig oil donors like A&M has.

In an era when more things are down remotely, and local and national news outlets budgets are stretched too thin to send crews for coverage, don’t we need a smaller press box?

This seems like wasted money.

Are we expanding for more media people? Or are we also creating corporate boxes with a revenue stream do recoup those costs? If the latter, we already have SEZ and the Jacobson building.

If it’s me, I’m allocating press box dollars to things that either raise money for ISU or for facility improvements that directly give our players an on field edge to win championships. Hell, I’d rather have the Wrestling building done before we re-do the football press box.
