Not since that bachelor party fiasco a few years back.
Hopefully not your son's. Having pa trying to get dollars tucked into his thong on stage would embarrass pretty much every son.
Maybe JP has seen the number of requests to defer until next year and sees the writing on the wall that with a drastic reduction in attendance, while having fans, it simply won't be enough. These decisions have real impacts to people's lives and livelihoods.
Are there actually schools that want fewer applicants? It doesn't mean you have to accept every student that applies.
They could easily find financing to get through this year and probably even next year, but then they wouldn't get to make cuts that they need/want to make anyways.
More students = more tuition, economic impact to the community, more meal plans, more room and board?
So in short, revenue.
Agree, CY Stephens was in trouble long before the AD took over.
I was on the fence before I decided to go to ISU, but the 2 win football season pushed me over the top.
When they won 1 game my first year, I knew I would never leave.
It is sad that C.Y Stephens is in disrepair. It was named the Iowa building of the century several years ago. But it was decided to have all the buildings of the Iowa State Center fall under AD operation. It is not surprising that the AD built sports facilities and did not maintain an auditorium.
Performing arts facilities often require a tremendous influx of cash donations or other supports to stay afloat. It seems to me that this pandemic is giving everyone an education in economics.
Yeah no thanks. I’m not going to contribute in enabling this type of panic behavior. You want keep fans out of games fine then bring on the layoffs and cutting of sports teams.
They wouldn't have had to close Stephen's if Pollard hadn't been greedy and took if over. He must've really hated it when people parked in his parking lots to go to a show at Stephen's. I guess he will have his way now.
C.Y. Stephens wasn't a top facility 25 years ago. I can only imagine what it's like today.
Maybe it's best to let that building go.

Ames didn’t have to compete with Des Moines back then. People didn’t go to Omaha or Kansas City like they do now for a concert
Not my experience last fall, and itsbuck (a client of CY) seemed to think otherwise. Of course, maybe your expectations are very high. True, they do not have any huge LCD panel screens to create electronic displays/sets, nor do the have a computer controlled movable light system for concerts (there's quite a few millions), but they still have some of the best accoustics in the world.
Ding....This has been one of the bigger revenue declines..Concerts. I remember 20-25 years ago nearly every month there would be some huge concert at Jack TRice or CY St....U2, Stones, Mccartney i think... Hilton used to have some great concerts too...
Most of that went away with Wells Fargo Arena..
I think the reason the University gave the rest of the ISC over to the AD last year was because of the financial strain on the university. Pollard is a proven fundraiser and had a plan to generate revenue and bring people in with the Entertainment District idea. Nobody saw the pandemic coming.
I wonder how much the blow will be softened if we have some fans (maybe 25%) at the remaining games or of they already know fans won't be allowed.

CY had some construction problems years ago. Settling prevented some doors from opening and closing properly. And the building is haunted
