This was wonderful. Makes me horribly depressed I didn't win either mega millions or powerball jackpot last week. In a heart beat I would have given the athletic department what they needed to not be in debt from this past year also a few million to pay Campbell. Then I would crawl back into my bunker where my relatives I didn't know I had cant find me.

So exciting. I like that they rotated the entertainment district. I think that makes more sense.
Football ticket price increase, Sukup goes from $850 to 999 and donor seating goes from 499 to 599 (watch video for the other seating increases)
Pretty jazzed about the 300 dedicated RV spots, wish they had sewer hookup though.

Stand outs to me:
COVID budget deficit - $25M
New contract for Campbell and staff is in the works
Pedestrian Bridge going to BOR in February - Cost of $10M was fully funded by 2 $5M gifts; Expect it to be open in Fall of 2022
New RV Parking Lots - going to BOR later in Spring - Another $10M funded by private gifts; Expect it to be open in Fall of 2022
Hilton/Scheman Renovations - TBD
Entertainment District - hope to start up these conversations again soon
What can we do?
Renew Football tickets this year
- Price increases on season tickets - see below
Renew Cyclone Club Membership

$10 Mil for 300 RV spots for 4-5 games a year, private funding. That's 33K per spot. Those are some deep pockets looking for a place to ... PARTY !
Getting my Mobile Passes back! $50 increase more than worth it!
Those RVs looked to be in G7. Better get mud tires and 4x4 on the Bago to get in and out of there.
Everyone is getting so squirrelly about his contract. Pretty sure if that extension went something like this:
JP: Matt, I need some time to figure out our budget and Covid numbers before I offer you an extension but ones definitely coming.
Matt: (looking up from and then back at old WWE Raw highlights) sound good boss. No hurry.

Agree. That's what we have and that is a reasonable increase.
They're going to be ripping up the whole lot to get electrical going so I'm sure they'll be addressing that.
So if we sell 40k season football tickets with average increase I’d say $80 per ticket that’s another 3.2 Million. Good start on raises for the FB staff.

Glad we rode our ticket money forward so the price bump doesn’t hurt as bad.
After next year, will no longer be supporting Iowa State University with tuition (hopefully) so maybe we can finally upgrade to something besides upper deck hinterlands. Assuming these last two kids can get jobs.
