And when you think about how many rules there are and how many conflicts they have to avoid, it becomes obvious they'd have to use a computer. Even what would seem like small changes could quickly spiral into violating a bunch of rules they're trying to follow.

Who gives a crap about the iowa state center
Clue me in on the part about not appreciating the concrete design of the ISC. Does that include Hilton? Cause it's kind of the same look.
I might be alone but I like the brutalist look and actually think it does age well, I think it blends in well with any modern looking expansions they have in mind. I mean CY Stevens won building of the century for crying out loud. Definitely needs some remodeling/fixing up but I still like all of it.
Also add more elevated walkways, I like those too
Yeah. Maybe 25-30 years ago they'd be sitting in a room trying to figure it out, but nowadays it's got to be a computer program.
There's a pretty interesting video that I think NFL films put out about how the NFL schedule is currently made (and how it used to be made). They basically put all sorts of ranking criteria and rules (number road games in a row, distance traveled, high profile teams in prime time, what networks got what games, etc) and then have some massive computer just continually run scenarios until they get a couple of the high scoring one.
Crazy to think that it just used to be a couple of guys sitting in a room starting at a board with a bunch of tags on it.
I have no issue on the architecture of CY and Hilton, they are basically buildings when the users are focused on watching an event.
But Scheman as an event/conference center needs to be demolished.
CY Stephens is a dump. I couldn’t believe how crappy it was when I was in there a month ago. Several rows were taped off from the roof leaking I think. Carpet is frayed and torn. Seats completely worn out. Terrible bathrooms. It needs either a massive renovation or torn down.
Renovations and remodeling are happening, including new ADA restrooms near the sw entrance.
Just curious - what event were you there for?
You just don't tear down a "Building of the Century" with several architectural awards. It was an unbelievable work at its inception and even today stands above most similar auditoriums. The AD took over its finances and from the little I've heard there's a plan going forward for renovation. If it's structurally viable, I say, give it some time.
Well they tore down this beauty to build Madison Square Garden. Bulldoze CY and put up condos with a small theater attached
Stands above most other buildings in design only. I would prefer they renovate. I have a lot of good memories in that building, but the condition it's in right now is embarrassing.
Slightly different financial metrics here. And, yes, there are several examples world-wide, but very few in a town the size of Ames that have won these types of awards.

I think the old plans to expand the Hilton concourse, more windows around it and some Cardinal and Gold lighting and accents would make Hilton look even better.
We should still be playing UNI and Drake. It’s weak for us and for Iowa not to play them. If there were fewer games like in football, then maybe. As a fan, I’ll take the slightly lower chance of going to NCAAs to see games I care about.
