Redesign of Carver

Redesign of Carver could cost $40 Million | KCRG-TV9 Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Local News

According to this they are looking to spend around $40 million to do something, have not seen anywhere what they hope to accomplish though.

IMHO I think they go and and spend $5-10 million and refurbish the field house and use it again. With the fewer seats they might be able to actually sell out some games

I like the comment someone left below asking if the redesign is to make it have less seating and be easier to heat and cool.

Best possible way to remodel Carver:

Make it resemble the Kingdome :wink:

 

[cytech]

yeah I saw that as well, but with how full of hot air most hawk fans are, heating shouldn't be a problem, just need to get that industrial cooling system upgraded

good release the day after a 30 point loss in Big Ten play, especially with the attendance they have had this year.

So for $40 million - that makes it cost about $1 million per MBB game attendee:laugh:

Didn't ISU release Master Plan details during a 4-8 season that was followed up with a 3-9 season?

Yeah but everyone knows that we are much cooler.

I do admit Im jealous how much money they get to toss around on facilities at Iowa.

Isn't ISU spending around $100 million on Hilton, when all is said and done?

I figured Alford leaving was a pretty big redesign.

 

[Broodwich]

Hilton opened in 1971. Carver opened in 1983. Hmm.

I heard they are putting these signs up around the arena:

I heard they are going to install 500 of these sewing machines (See Below) around the upper deck of carver to help pay off the redesign of it. This will help speed up the current process they have in place by 50%.
They will have 500 Old ladies sewing non-stop during the games and will selling their finish football product to Nike. This is from a very, very reliable source

 

[ISUFan22]

Fine...I'll say it...

I like the design of that shirt - would look perfect with the ISU logo on it and in red.

 

[HandSanitizer]

Those ladies do a wonderful job inside of carver.

I have the ISU version of that shirt only in grey (what can I say - I've got enough "red" ISU shirts)

The thing is would anybody be able to read it?
