All it takes is 1 underage kid that gets served and then kills someone in a car accident to make those dollars go away real quick.

The risk/reward is not worth it for the dollars we are talking.

Feel like I'm beating a dead horse here.


It would be after an ISU-IOWA fb game

I remember the fatal accident in 2005 when a car load of Iowa fans were in a crash on I-35 after the game, and dumba#s Iowa fans on Hawkeye Report.com blaming ISU as the reason for the fatalities, by wanting to keep the FB series intact

Part of any risk assessment is to assume worst case scenario. That is how it is done...FYI.

I'm starting to think of you and your avatars the same way I do Mariah Carey. I'll watch her videos all day, but the TV goes on mute.

WHAT ABOUT "JP WON'T ALLOW IT" DOES NO ONE GET HERE ?????? GEEZ THIS IS BEYOND STUPID. Let's debate paving all of central campus next for gawd's sake.

Back on the stadium ...... has anyone seen the details on the tunnel from the FOF to it's exit??? So cool.


Do you care to give any more details about the tunnel? I'm very curious about that.

You could turn a thread about literally anything into an Iowa/ISU ******* match.

Just because JP doesn't allow it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. I'm not arguing about whether or not JP will allow it.
I read earlier in this thread that JP said "not under his watch" ---- why do you suppose he says this so insistently ?? Think it through, I can assure you he has.

I read earlier in the thread that JP had changed his mind about it. But come to think of it, neither of the posts that we're thinking about really matter now, do they?

I really like what UNC is doing with their end zone. I wish we could do something similar!<br> <a onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outgoing/http_www_taloving_com_news_press_unc_chapel_hill_kenan_stadium_expansion_');" href="http://www.taloving.com/news-press/unc-chapel-hill-kenan-stadium-expansion/" target="_blank">T.A. Loving | UNC-Chapel Hill Kenan Stadium Expansion</a>

That would be amazing, simply amazing.

Like I said, JP may have other motivators on this stance than how much money it would or wouldn't make, if it actually is his stance. There seem to be competing reports on this.

I can assure you JP has not changed his mind -- you want to show me that?? Yes his public stance is open but that's not unexpected now is it. I read a couple of key donors say that JP would need to leave and that might happen. What's your point again??

Just seen a sketch ..... probably not final but some kind of a storm cellar, big metal doors ... weather station with siren on top. Jp and GG loved the response of the crowd (both us and the RU folks) in NYC to the siren (I wonder where he got those ;-) ...... the new entrance is going to top last year's which I thought was one of the best in college football -- and very unique to ISU. Good stuff.

If they have the team come rushing out of cellar storm doors as the siren is going off I may rip off the faces of everyone around me in excitement

Agreed. At that UNI game last year when the Cyclone warning and siren went off, it was AWESOME!

Plus it'll be a perfect place for the crowd to wait out any severe weather.
Win Win!
