Some were talking about it in the other thread and I thought I'd mention that the location on Welch is closed. They do have another location on Stanton.

I knew they were opening another location on Stanton (which I thought was strange) but I didn't know they were closing the one on Welch? Please tell me the location on Stanton is every bit as good, I LOVE ME SOME ES TAS!
I wonder if they'd consider opening a location in DSM???  |
 This is the sarcasm pirate. If you see him anywhere in my post, it means I was being sarcastic. Thank you. Actually there's a good chance I'm being sarcastic even if I forgot the pirate. I'm not to be taken too seriously.

I just found out about it today. I don't think it was in their original plans to close the one on Welch. The one on Stanton is/was only open on weekends as it was more bar than restaurant although I don't know for sure what they'll be doing now. I would think they would move the restaurant part there and be open all the time but who knows. Will probably know shortly.

There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams

I haven't been in the one on Welch, but I was in the one on Stanton in early December, and I thought it was pretty nice.

I think there are some safety issues with a lot of the bars/buildings in the campustown area.

Hey, on the topic of Ames finest eating establishments, I have heard from a few people that Battle's isn't as good since George died. Anyone have an opinion on this? I've been meaning to get there myself ever since I moved back to Iowa, but just haven't made it yet.

I've only had Battle's once in my life, and I think it was in the fall. I thought it was very good. I liked the barbecue better than Hickory Park.

Campustown needs a major facelift. I went to Manhattan last weekend and it pails in comparison to Aggieville...

Chizik: "One thing that I’d encourage our fans… I want them to be the loudest stadium in the Big 12. I don’t care… I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it… let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."

Battles is still amazing. I haven't noticed much of a change.

I wonder if they'd consider opening a location in DSM??? I think the Mexican Restaurant market is pretty saturated in Des Moines.
