to have that basketball game that is televise by ESPN to be played at Hilton Coliseum and it would generate a lot of revenue one would have to believe...............

If we lost it would be embarrassing.

I can see the game being a sellout if the game would be at Hilton. Charge $5 admission and the place would fill to the rafters.

14,000 people will not show up for that are you kidding me? We didn't even sell out last year for college games. Why would it sell out for a high school game when only 1 team is from iowa?

I think you loss a lot when you move games from high schools to college courts, if that makes sense. Although it is cool for the players, you don't get to see the game played in a true high school environment.

It might be against NCAA rules anyway...I talked to JP last year about having my team play a game before an ISU game at Hilton and he checked into it and found out it was against the rules. Maybe if it was just a single game that would be different, but it could still be illegal...
