Hilton Coliseum Renovation

I remember that the last time that they drained it they dredged up a lot of stolen bicycles.

When do we actually think we may see a real Hilton renovation? 5-10 years from now?
In all seriousness, how would people want Hilton renovated outside of bigger concourses and such? As far as the inside goes, I don't see any updates happening in there outside of updated seats and such. I can't imagine they're going to raise the roof to make it any bigger and/or remove seating for suites.

I know things change but before the pause wasn't that actually the point of widening the concourse and flipping them? They were going to add suites where the old concessions were?
 
I had heard they were retiring the other and bringing a new pair, however there was talk of pending work on Lake LaVerne which delayed the reintroduction of the new pair.

I'm not in Ames so I can neither confirm nor deny that this is actually what has happened.
Seems like they have done replacements as needed for a long time
 
Saw this on Facebook, you know, the place old people fall for AI slop. But, this looks legit! Way to go, Jamie Pollard for pulling this off!

"AI Slop" is such an accurate description of the endless crap being produced by AI.

Anyone seen the talking baby videos where a toddler or baby says something "amazing" / outlandish? The old people in my Facebook feed love to share these videos with earnest belief it's real until told otherwise. HAHA.

Sigh. Lord help us.

I could certainly be remembering incorrectly, but the last version of renovations I thought they released widened the concourse, moved the concessions and included updates to restrooms and probably some other modifications. I don't remember suites being part of it.

They need to move the students back closer to the court again, but that won't happen.

At one point they were going to flip the balcony stairs so they dumped directly to the outer concourse so they could replace the inner concourse with suites. The stairs from the lower bowl would then go directly to the outer concourse.

At this point getting rid of the inner concourse is about the only way to get any more capacity into Hilton.

There are A LOT of people that linger there a with a couple minutes of game time left.
 
I kind of liked it from sentimental aspect but with the area below the steps being just storage I believe it was due to be redone.
There were major structural issues occurring with the stairs/walkway. It was basically falling apart and being held up by a lift the last couple years. I get the sentimental aspect, but am glad to see it being redone.

Would love to walk to the center of that court, murder a few dudes and then scream “Are you not entertained?!?!?!?”

edit: @Kettes I'm just saying it looks a lot like the provincial arena in the movie Gladiator. I don't actually want to murder people :D

My thumbs up is to indicate to let them live (though I know a few prominate ones many would give a thumbs down).
