A lot of people will be shaking their heads when a big freight train goes rumbling by at about 150 yards away... :no:

lol I hadn't even thought of the frieght train, I was too busy trying to contemplate the accoustics of having Moly Bio behind and that glass green house building (mind blank here at 2 a.m.) to one side....
Thats a lot of glass to reflect sound
I mean yeah you're moving it away from the bars as far as possible and you don't need to worry about residences there, but man thats a crappy location for a stage!
EDIT: On a side note... I think I'll have to break out the "Wasn't VEISHEA '04 a Riot?" shirt out this weekend
Only picture I could find of the shirt I'm talking about

This I agree with. I still think a better route would have been to do it in the Iowa State Center parking lot like they did for the ragbrai Styx concert this summer.
LOL... I would guess with budgets the way they are, we are lucky to get the ones listed.
Bring back Ton Loc!
I have yet to figure out why VEISHA doesn't bring a huge concert to Ames and have it at Hilton during the weekend. It would be nice to have a headliner play instead of garage bands that nobody has ever heard of.
I miss VEISHEA like it was back in 06 and 07. Perfect weather, great music locations on campus, decent music, and perfect weather.
They do not have the money and everybody expects everything at VEISHEA to be free...simple as that.
This. VEISHEA is a shell of its former self. IMO, the university is trying to kill it.
I believe I read that they spent 100k on music this year or last.
The problem is they want to put on these long musical shows for 4 or 5 hours on both Friday and Saturday. Meaning they have to pay more for having so many acts. Part of this was because of the last riot and keeping people away from "alcohol related events".
Back in the "old days" they used to have a big headliner then some smaller bands done at a separate time. Now with the emphasis on alternative entertainment they are sinking a lot of money in to a lot of bands.
