It would be cool to get the autographs from the team, and maybe chat with them a little. Too bad I have now way of getting to ames.

Didn't they do this last year too? If so, does anyone remember the prices of the helmets and/or jerseys.

I was at the fall sale this winter, the helmets were $250 each, Jerseys were aroung $75 I think. I could be off on the Jerseys but pretty sure on the helmets.

I think $75 is about right for jerseys. I assume the parade is over by noon isn't it?

Jerseys were 50.

They told me that this spring actual game worn helmets would be sold, unlike last fall.

It's been a while since I've been to VEISHEA. Where exactly would VEISHEA village be located?

Central campus (between Bearshear and Curtis)

$250 for a helmet seems pretty high..can't you get a new one for that?

gharris · 04-02-2008, 03:16 PM

Veishea Village is located mainly on central campus by the campanile but it is spread over in front of the library too. Also the engineering buildings have displays and there is a petting zoo over by the horse barn i believe.

Kinda hard to sell helmets a week before the spring game, isn't it? Hopefully there's a voucher system in place because the players will certainly need lids for the game on the 19th, and some guys I've talked to said that the new helmets aren't in yet and won't be for the spring game.

isuno1fan · 04-02-2008, 03:18 PM

The prices aren't exactly deals IMO, but if you want a piece of "authentic" ISU equipment...it is a good place to be.

Did anyone go to the Athletic Department surplus/equipment sale on Saturday? There were probably 80-100 people in line by the time 12PM rolled around. I'm not sure how business was the rest of the afternoon, though.

I would have liked a football helmet, but couldn't justify spending $250 for a used helmet. Oops, I mean, "game worn" football helmet.

I walked back through the tent about 3:30PM and it looked like they either had not sold very many helmets, or they had restocked them. I did pick up a mini-helmet for $20, so I didn't walk away empty handed.
