This renovation is needed and those that have been to the Big House can atest. It probably has the same amount of bathrooms that Jack Trice has.

They are spending almost 7 years of the ISU entire athletic Budget on this wow.

It's needed. I've never been to the Big House, but I have friends in the Iowa Marching Band that have gone, and they say that everyone is crammed in there like sardines, and that the number of bathrooms are horrible. Can't imagine why it would be cost effective to spend $226 million on adding 3200 seats, though.

It's cost effective because they are adding so many boxes and club seats. There are zero boxes currently at michigan stadium.

There are zero boxes currently at michigan stadium. I didn't see that they were adding 80+ suites. That makes perfect sense now. | Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...

Can't imagine why it would be cost effective to spend $226 million on adding 3200 seats, though. How much would it cost us if we wanted to build a new 60,000 seat stadium with room for expansion? That is a lot of cash
