Question on the new Johnnys area

[ianoconnor]

That’s the name of it.

I get that, but what will it be used for?

An usher told me it was for mega donors.
I asked because I had the same question.

 

[cyclone87]

What does that mean?

I think it’s a more exclusive space for high end donors and potentially recruits. Believe there were a few details about it in one of the releases about the new Johnny’s space.

Yes, if you park over there and follow these directions


Because you park on the northeast or southeast side of Hilton Coliseum, we wanted to communicate separately that starting two hours prior to each game, you may still enter Hilton Coliseum at the NE or SE doors. Please note the procedure below:

• Scan IN your basketball game ticket at the Hilton NE or SE doors
• Walk around inside Hilton Coliseum to the West
• Scan OUT your same basketball game ticket at the Hilton West doors
• Walk across the bridge into Scheman
• Scan IN your Johnny’s at Scheman ticket to obtain your wristband

Upon re-entry into Hilton Coliseum for the basketball game:

• Re-scan IN your same basketball game ticket at any Hilton doors

* If you wish to bypass the extra processes, you may walk directly to Scheman without entering Hilton Coliseum.

If you don’t park near the old Johnny’s doors, then it makes more sense to walk directly into Scheman but it’s an option that people should know about, especially when it’s this cold.

Ah, probably not worth it from C2 to go to the SE doors.

Not an issue for us, but, yes there are no steps on the east side, but there is a wheelchair accessible ramp.

East side of Hilton or Scheman?

Do I go through Hilton to get to the new area for food and drinks or do I straight in the other building. First time this year and I’m not sure where to enter to get to the food pre game. Any help would be appreciated

Go through the bottom of Scheman

 

[NWICY]

Scheman

There are a lot of us disabled people very displeased that we can no longer ride the Scheman elevator up and walk across to Hilton. Walkers, crutches and canes are not the best in snow and ice. I spoke to a lady in Hilton who said she will no longer go to the games in bad weather. I would think somebody obviously disabled could ride the elevator up and walk across - but the answer is NO, as I asked twice. I will not be attending tomorrow, and I have been coming since 1969.

Wait why are they banning you? That should be a nobrainer.

 

[NWICY]

Big money folk. If you have to ask you can't afford it.

I can’t afford it I’m certain so I didn’t even try to find out.

most likely because there is no way to determine who is riding the elevator up to Johnny's to just pass thru to get to Hilton versus going to Johnny's since there is no other entry point to Johnny's and no one checking after the main floor of Scheman (or from the walkway on the east side but no one would be trying to enter there to use the elevator to get to Hilton).

I believe this is correct.

Maybe they could put a Scarlet Letter on our forehead. Big C for cripple. Just kidding.
I do believe the number of handicapped violators would be an extremely small number - certainly approaching zero.

So, if our new football coach becomes successful AND sticks around a long time, will they rename the bar area inside Sukup "Jimmy's"?

Then we can have Johnny's and Jimmy's.

I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere.. but what are they going to do with the old space in Hilton?

Champions Lounge.

What does that mean?

High roller recruiting area.

Add a special room in Cy Town and then we can have Johnny's, Jimmy's and Jamie's...

The new spot was pretty nice. Had a chicken Cesar wrap as the food. Not bad. It was nice they had that little semi heated tunnel to walk to Hilton. Overall it was a fun day. Luckily I had the C1 parking pass so didn't have to spend to much time out in the miserable cold.
