CyTown Announcement - Monday 9/19 (Links in OP)

[CYTUTT]

Now all we need is that monorail! Lol

I'd give you 3-20. Ames specializes in making short drives drag out.

12 might be a little aggressive, but the extension of Grand south has done wonders for the S Duff mess.

So mattress and auto parts shoppers rejoice.

 

[jcisuclones]

How high are they raising it? Also, are they going to grind up the asphalt already there because they would have to or it would create like a barrier at that point.

They've done a lot of flood mitigation work downstream near Duff, as well on the Skunk near where 35 crosses it, so I'm sure a lot of that work was factored in as well.

Stupid Transit. Everyone should own two cars.

It put at least three other towns on the map!

Ehhh, that's more of a Shelbyville idea...

From the little I have read, it seems for a good portion of our fanbase, the only thing they care about is cheap parking and cheap seats at the game. They are stuck in the mid '90s of Cyclone football and they don't see what it takes to keep pace with the top tier teams in college football.

This is something that would set ISU apart from a lot of schools and make it a destination. I would have to imagine a lot of visiting team fans would be excited at the prospect of something like this right next to the stadium.

It's probably a lot to do with why ISU is in the situation we are in. A lot of our fans lack vision. They probably wish it was still the way it was when I was in school and they didn't even have to buy a ticket at all, just walk in at half time for free.

The fanbase is evolving slowly, but this is and has been one of the challenges for JP and ISU. We have a portion of the fanbase that wants a good, big boy program, but wants the parking to remain plentiful, tickets to be dirt cheap, and wants to stroll in late in the 3rd quarter and have the crowd look like a joke on TV.

If someone is legitimately concerned about this tanking and ISU being on the hook in a way that harms academics and the student experience, I can respect that.

"Cy-cling Power"!

This would bring in some $$

The ring came off my pudding can!

 

[Stormin]

Good old days under Jim Walden. Cheap tickets. Plenty of Parking. Hot Tubs in the End Zone. Zero Wins.

The 1 negative I can see with CY Town is more Hok roaches hanging around the lots when their stupid team comes in for a game every other year.

They want a Cyclone party more than good Cyclone athletics.

That’s the great thing about CyTown imo. We’ll be monetizing the desire for a Cyclone party, in which people pay what they can/want. I think it will be additive- people that may not actually want yo shell out $50-$100 per game for tickets, but will come to spend money on beer and entertainment in CyTown while family/friends go to game. I know so many people that go to KC that don’t make it to Spint Center

I share your concern. How much damage can they cause? Hard to say …

 

[RustShack]

The CyHawk series will be over by then.

We can only hope. Game does nothing for us.

That Dochterman cat at the Athletic will somehow blame Cyclone fans and say we caused all do the damage.

Cancelled my subscription because of that one man...well....and a few others....

Sorry, I wish for the raging river boat ride summer and bobsled run for winter months. Let’s make it exciting to get there.

In all sincerity, if we wanted to keep copying Titletown with a sledding hill, it couldn't be that difficult to build one into the hillside by Beach....

As long as they're forking over their tip money from their pizza delivery jobs to buy drinks, I don't mind.
