Milwaukee Fan Visiting

[DunneDeal]

Hey, thought I would just check out and see if you had a D-Board. Also just wondering if you all had any ideas about good places to go in and around Ames (food, bars, hangouts) over the weekend you host the World Vision Classic.

Also if you had any hotel suggestions let me know. Either post here or you can email me too [email protected]

Can't wait

Pizza = Great Plains Sauce and Dough Co.
BBQ = Hickory Park - get there early and expect a wait if there's something going on in town. (BBall game or what).

Ditto on the food

Pizza - Great plaines - get thick whole wheat crust and put honey on it. Their pizza is one of kind. (downtown Ames)

BBQ - HIckory Park food is decent, atmosphere is fun and family friendly. (near 30)

Bar hopping - Generally, Campustown if you're 18-22, Ames downtown if you're 23 and over.

Hotel - Cheap - Super 8 in Nevada, just 10 miles east - I always stay there. If you like nice places, Gateway. Everything else is in between. If you like boutique type hotels, the hotel at the Union is enjoyable, and only a walk from campustown if you are planning on drinking much.

Hey nothing wrong with going to Welch being 24 now! I love my Cafe Beaudelare (sp?) long islands!

I was there after the Nebraska game and will be there after the Missouri game. My 25 year old body loves it! Get me a Flaming Dr. Pepper!:biggrin:

If you're a student looking to hit up the bars or be around the campus scene, try staying at the Memorial Union on campus. It's cheap and walkable to everything.

Iowa State Memorial Union

Well not many 18-20 year old are partying in the bars in campus town.
