Stage door was awesome. I’m guessing they will now require wrist bands to get into Scheman.

When you enjoy the new space in Scheman, please keep in mind that the decision to eliminate Benton auditorium in Scheman had a very negative impact on many extension meetings on this campus. I am referring to meetings involving 300 to 500 attendees and involving 3 or more breakout concurrent sessions. Scheman, including Benton, was perfect for such meetings. It seems that in making that decision, some folks forgot that extension is a very important part of ISUs role across Iowa - and beyond. And there is nothing to backfill this facility in Ames, certainly not Gateway, Stephens is way too big. I love Cyclone athletics and I'm a big fan of what has accomplished with Cyclone athletics over the past decade or two, but count me as disappointed with this decision. But then, I guess you can't make everyone happy.

Do people use Johnnys throughout the game? Won't it be kinda dead during the game? I could see being in Johnnys during a game when it's in Hilton where you can feel the crowd and energy but having it in another building?

I'm gonna need some renderings of this and the hotel and everything. Pollard's been pretty quiet lately hopefully that means something is coming soon.

Johnnys sucks to be honest. The lines are super long to get the food. Food is average sometimes and good sometimes. Just to big of a line.
Was there during the Baylor game. Crazy packed. Crazy lines for everything. Was a bummer.

The new Johnny's won't be open during the game. It will be open for two hours pregame and one hour post game. So, yes, the new Johnny's will be very dead during games

I don't know how busy it is during the semester, and it is in a different building, but Fisher Theater is right next door to Scheman and has 450 seats.

I didn't even eat at the Kansas State game. I showed up an hour before the game started and the line was so long I just walked over to a concession stand and got a hot dog and soda. It's funny seeing a bunch of people, most presume to have some sort of money to afford tickets to Johnnys, standing in a 45 minute line to get food. I was over it. I did try and go back at halftime and they got rid of the good food and put some power donut holes out. So I had a few of those.

So does the statue move?
good question. Hope not, Johnny was a coach for all fans. if they move him, it will be the second time that they have restricted him to less and less fans (of course if he stays where he is, he'll still be restricted to less fans--so it's a lose anyway for coach Orr. Pretty sad!!
