Final 4 is in April though...so...could be 80...could be cold and wet!
Some of you have really thick skulls.
Think this is the "Cytown.com" JP was referring to
I think I might need to be hospitalized in about 3 hours and 49 minutes…
This isn't the P&L and people need to get that out of their heads ASAP.
Don't be a prick, I was just asking the question. I know at one point there were plans to pave G4/G5 but wasn't sure if this was part of the project.
I imagine it's going to be a lot of retail/office space with some bars/ restaurants sprinkled in.
As someone who lives in Nevada, I would absolutely utilize a great restaurant/brewpub in CyTown many weekends aside from just gamedays. Being right off of Highway 30 is a great asset. Trekking all the way up to Stange or even just downtown can be a pain. Not to mention the various conferences that I attend at Scheman during the year, recruiting students on campus, etc.
Yeah. I'm imagining like making one a year (probably the crappiest Saturday opponent) and treating it kind of like a football weekend.
Several of my sons spent some summers in Ames with internships and keeping a few life guarding shifts. There is a constant parade of high school and junior high kids with various events and camps. With younger kids, the parents are also in town. Looking for stuff to do while the kids are otherwise amused.
I think JP has taken his mission to restore Stephens to glory as part of this too. For every dreamer there are dozens of naysayers.
The last few years we have usually been parking on campus. Way easier to leave after the game. This would make it easier to go to the center before and after a game if we don’t have friends or relatives tailgating. Easy to grab a drink and hang out. And I will happily visit Reiman Gardens in summer and frequent the place.
It's more mixed use development, yes. I address both business and sports/event centric consumer spend, the latter has relevant comparables to P&L.
This will either not happen (full buildout shown), or be a failure to recoup investment. I'm frankly shocked it was released with this much infrastructure in video. Given entire pandemic has occurred since the initial idea was shared by JP, this seems to ignore two major trends, interest rates have doubled, and people are working from home. Add in non pandemic related Big12 $ issue, and this type of capex is not wise.
For clarity, I'm pro hotel, some full time infrastructure, and an outdoor scale up scale down. I'm not a naysayer of any investment. Dismissing others points as yes/no is lazy.
There will always be a people who want surface-level parking lots more than anything else. A sea of pavement is their primary concern.
Other activities, Conventions, utilizing the parking and area for free concerts, shows, events to bring in customers. Titletown has vendor type shows every week. etc
Since the Covid, we have had higher capacity fills of games at JTS. Hilton was fairly full coming off one of the worst MBB seasons ever. Many businesses are pushing to go back to inperson at least some of the time. People are also wanting to get out of their home if they WFH, so it isn't such a crazy idea.
