New Johnny’s starting next year.
- Thread starter ISUalways
- Start date
I was very impressed. Add to the fact it’s not even half done I can only imagine how nice it will be.
Wait....what??
I think the Scheman reno is about 90% complete, about the only significant thing remaining for Johnny's is the permanent furnishings. Any other amenities such as the enclosed walkway connection to Hilton will be part of the new hotel and CyTown stuff. Not sure what else you are including in the "half-done" assessment.
I found the social / gathering areas to be very nice & spacious, with multiple bar options that limited any wait time for service. However, they do have some traffic flow and theming issues that could improve the food distribution and sit-down areas. Hopefully the finished product addresses these somewhat minor aspects to an otherwise significantly upgraded experience.
I took a video last night, can’t get it to load though. You can’t see the wings out front, about 1/4 more space or more but here is a big past of it.
Invitation only events before and after and I'd assume during games. The events will be used to widen the ISU donor base and bring in more revenue
A new higher tier donor experience for the higher rollers, Is my understanding.
I was impressed. Thought the room to the right of the main common area was the best space personally
Be awesome to have some away game watches there. Hope they consider it.
Johnny's has been a detraction from game day atmosphere for many years. People getting a stack of cookies to go share with everyone in their row and a free bag of popcorn. Fans leaving their seat early to get stale popcorn is probably worse than people leaving a 3 point game early to beat traffic. Glad this is getting fixed!!! Great job out of whoever pulled the trigger on this.
