Whew...had me worried there.
There are plenty of events in Ames during the summer, all of which require hotel rooms. Every year there's Special Olympics, Iowa Games (3 weekends), and a bunch of youth sports tournaments.
This year there's also Odyssey of the Mind, and a weeklong national sports competition for kids with disabilities.
If a hotel could make money by being in that area there would be one there by now. Their main income would come from big events and there probably isn't enough of those to keep the doors open.
Overly simplistic.If a hotel could make money by being in that area there would be one there by now. Their main income would come from big events and there probably isn't enough of those to keep the doors open.
Iowa State Center would be a terrible location for a hotel. Add in that there isn't much happening for about 4 months (last few weeks of May/June/July/first couple of August + winter break) a year to make money.
*bump* hearing information will be released Monday
Unless ISU hasnt been willing to give up that land for that purpose.

I can't believe it would be anything short of the renderings. As someone said, they plan on starting the project in 6 months. A lot of people, myself included, want to see the renderings before they give any money to the project. The people need to see it!If true I wonder what info it is, renderings?
