Curious to see the footage of football players walking through the spiderwebs... Ah, the memories of detassling.
The original McFarland location has expanded a lot in the last 20 years.

Are tired, old McFarland, newer Mary Greeley, middle age Medical Arts Building, numerous pop-up outreach clinics what you mean?
I imagine building, financing, whatever a new CYTown clinic is easier than giving the Ames main McFarland Clinic a refresh.
Yes exactly. They expanded the clinic to the north/northwest of the current location, plus the Medical Arts building, plus the west Ames location, plus the south Ames location...
Well now that we know they'll be in that spot I'm excited to see renderings of their building. Hopefully it's not and big so it's at least cool to look at on gamedays since it's in a prime spot.
And all of them are crazy busy. We moved back to Ames 1 1/2 years ago and live 3 blocks from the south location and none of the doctors were taking new patients. Ended up with a NP at the north satellite location.
As Foghorn Leghorn would say "Pay attention, boy!" The Cytown concept is not being developed to make profits for developers!! (It may but that is not its purpose).
It is a way to generate money for the athletic department that controls the Iowa State Center for needed maintenance and improvements to the Iowa State Center!! When the Iowa State Center was developed (without public funds) there evidentally was no plan for paying for long term maintenance.
Everyone complains about the deteriorating condition of CY Stevens but no one had a plan on how to pay for improvements!
The Cytown concept is a way to capture those needed dollars fot that maintenance and improvements by capitalizing on an asset (land) while at the same time retaining the same number of parking spaces there were before!
Copy catters!
Who the **** wants to go there if it isn’t a game day? Seems like a huge gamble to make a destination resort rather than an entertainment district.
Is the .3 of a person a little person or child, or someone entering or exiting the store and only partway there?
I demand an answer...
Call me old fashioned, but I still count a partial entry and exit as 1.
Can’t call little people midgets anymore they just call them point threers.
It’s been almost 5 years since ESPN shuttered the Zone business, so I guess the VC ownership decided this would be a good way to extract even more cash as they pillage the brand.
They're crazy about football down there, any reason to do Alabama football adjacent stuff they would do. I don't think a water park is crazy, people love water parks no matter where it is.
