why would you post a rendering from 5 years ago?
why would you post a rendering with circus tent material where seats should be?

That's clearly a spaceship. Our engineering department is getting outworked :Wha:

ISU: We're going to close the stadium.
Fans: How do you plan on doing it?
ISU: Very carefully. It's going to be great. Trust me. Thank you. Have a nice day.

sledding on that hill looked fun

We'll be proud if it happens.

Amazing what a team like ISU can parlay a 34-0 thrashing of ku into... Congrats on lapping ku again in facilities improvments, Havs!!

Are you sure someone on an ISU forum didn't make that in sketch up? It's free you know.

Oh I know, I've been known to enjoy a Sketchup or two. That came in a press release.
This came along with it (note the old logos, this has been in worse for a while, unfortunately) : (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimage.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com%2Fpics3%2F640%2FON%2FONRMQDNDRFVPHIL.20070202151136.jpg&hash=efd084b98fff5b71b13e6a476ee7309236e3b91b)

What are you talking cash wise here havs? 25 mil doesn't go too far these days

Looks like a cruise ship. Needs more bare cement scaffolding and places for Nazis to shoot WW2 machine guns out of.

JK, looks pretty cool. I like the idea of having a retail strip center on top. Could get runza, auto insurance quotes, eye glasses and pick up a prescription all before halftime.

You can go back to cf and tell them that you aren't getting that for $25 million. They are using that as the unofficial welcome entrance to the campus, sound familiar? With redoing the exterior $25 mil will leave enough money for the seats, concrete, and a concourse. There won't be suites, hall of, fame, or really any amenities at all.
-
the article said the $25 million is a lead gift, which I'm pretty sure is more than any lead gift we've ever had, so I'm sure ISU will do something very nice

They haven't determined number of seats, cost, or even finalized a completion date. They go to the regents in February. The ad said if everything goes right they hope to have it completed to open the 2015 season. It doesn't sound like they don't even know how much money to raise.
I'm glad our athletic department doesn't go public with hopes and dreams.

that picture (the one havs originally posted -- the sketchup looking one) has been floating around for forever. seems like it's always been "1 or 2 years off."
i'll believe it when i see it is what i'm saying here.

I think this is very cool and I'd be pumped if I were you ISU bros

Seriously
They basically announced that they have 25mil cash and want to building some crap onto the stadium with it, but they have no idea what/how/when/why?

They still sell out every game, but I suspect that being terrible at football is having a huge impact on ticket prices.

they don't sell out every game and their ticket revenue is atrocious, as it is for basketball. The price points are very low.

I would love it very much if we lowered ticket prices and got 10k more people in BSFS.

For awful seats. My parents' season ticket prices have gone up in basketball.

1. devaluing your ticket price lowers your ticket revenue. Selling $20 tickets to a conference game is dumb, our fans have showed that they are willing to pay $75, charge them $75
2. Jack Trice Stadium is located 20 minutes from large Des Moines suburbs and 30 minutes from downtown. BSFS is 2 hours from a similar population center. We are very close to being maxed out. When you have cheap tickets and 20 minutes from half a million people, you can get a few thousand casual fans and close alumni traveling with children

For football, I think their model is actually good. Like I said in my previous post they have found a way to make alums and casual fans to drive up from Des Moines. If they had K-State's price points with the quality of product they put on the field the attendance would drop by 20%. The basketball prices absolutely need to be higher. They have reserved seats for the Baylor game with face values as low as $9.69 and that's not a special, that's inexcusable for a program like Iowa State. That's TCU prices.

This demographic loves/loved the hillsides. Will be interesting to see what affect this has on families. ISUAD will likely only make hillsides available if every permanent seat in the stadium is full first.

Yea, too many fans have bought into the: "We are Iowa State" motto. The AD needs to rid themselves of these people in the stadium/arena, but is probably scared the seats will go unfilled, despite #Hoiball being the hottest sports commodity in the state.

Nailed it. I don't think there are many KSU Football fans being priced out of going to games. Making the stadium nice should be point #1, not more seating. If they want to do things to make sure its more easily expandable in a few years when NBAF takes off, I am all for that. Just no reason to do it now. Unless everyone wants a tarp

A Kstate game is kind of tough with a young family for KC and Wichita folks, the only ones I know that have season tickets have family/friends in MHK that give them a "home base" to help make it work. I find myself browsing rvtrader.com for this very reason.

Good point here. It's a well known fact that most Iowa State fans hover right around the poverty line. Higher ticket prices like we charge would never work.

it's not that tough. we had season tickets for a family of 4 from ICT from like 91 until my sister and I went to college, and we rarely stayed in mhk. it isn't that bad. you get up early sometimes and come home late sometimes but it's w/e.

I think by "tough" he meant the time, energy, and resources required. It was easy for you as a kid, I'm sure you had a blast. It is in no way easy for the parents. The only reason I still do it is because my four year old absolutely loves it.

I never said it was feasible. I've always supported adding few or zero seats. But if we could get away with it for a net zero change for total ticket dollars, I would want it. As a fan, I wouldn't care if they had to spend a few more million adding seats to the NEZ if they could figure a way to fill it without out actually losing money.

hmmm, interesting if true. need proof, tho

As I was saying, there are often promotions to sell the last percentage of tickets that are cheaper than K-State (because both venues are larger at ISU) but season ticket packages are still on par.

And these promotions have almost disappeared the past two seasons. A 2-win season and record lows for KU softened the secondary market, but optimism springs eternal in Ames. Demand in 2014 will be even stronger.

kicknutter, do you think paul rhodes should be fired?
No chance, but his program clearly regressed this year in all aspects. A great recruiting class coming in and some impact players taking off redshirts will help next year, but they are still going to be mediocre in 2014. 6 or 7 wins next year is probably the ceiling. A new offensive coordinator (what a thankless job, but Courtney Messingham has been mostly awful) would help.

That is really good research, well done. It doesn't say anything about ISU's football revenue though. According to the equity in athletics report, ISU had $29 million in football revenue for 2012. K-State had $31 million. On its face the $2 million doesn't seem like very much, but when you factor in that K-States number doesn't include the West Stadium Center and that Jack Trice is 12% bigger than BSFS that two million looks much bigger, the 2013 number will certainly be much wider. I'd venture to guess that $29 million in revenue is low end for a BCS program with a 55,000+ stadium.
Also that isn't close to our best seat. The donor levels for the premium seating is as high as $50,000

kicknutter, do you think paul rhodes should be fired?
No chance, but his program clearly regressed this year in all aspects. A great recruiting class coming in and some impact players taking off redshirts will help next year, but they are still going to be mediocre in 2014. 6 or 7 wins next year is probably the ceiling. A new offensive coordinator (what a thankless job, but Courtney Messingham has been mostly awful) would help.
I bet ISU fans say this every year.

Why are you dorks being mean to Iowa State about this? This is cool for them.
any plan that doesn't involve them exploding that absurd press box of theirs is crazy

Guys, ISU has a great recruiting class coming in and it isn't even signing day i.e. there is more to come.

BTW outs only a "great" recruiting class because they got the #5 receiver, in the country. The dude is from Des Moines. Unfortunately they don't have a QB to throw to him because they didn't offer Waters. Also recently Rhodes made a big deal about how he isn't recruiting a QB in this class because they have enough of them.

Its a good recruiting class, especially for a team that will finish 2-10 or 3-9. I won't be throwing a Signing Day Party or anything tho.

At least there are boxes and club seats in between the upper and lower levels. :dunno:

yea Clones need to work on their pressbox before bowling it in. Yikes.

they should make it 3 times taller but the same width to really accentuate what is special about their stadium

do you have any idea how much rough ridin' CPU power it takes to render stink lines? (not to mention photo-real loose-meat sandies)

i'm proud as crap of that rendering :thumbs:

Our renderings have a thanksgiving's feast more science than those

It amazes me that they're doing so many other renovations besides that shitty press box. Is there a BCS school with a worse press box?

Get a press credential and go see for yourself on Saturday.

What's the crap behind to the right? A new indoor practice facility? A new mold-o-dome?

Fantastic. Iowans love the crap outta maid rite. Wichitans clown new way Iowans revere maid rite. They have one at the Iowa Welcome Center on the south border.

Not new, it surprisingly looks pretty sweet in person. I prefer it to our massive storage shed.

what on earth is maid rite?

A loose meat sandwich. Think sloppy joe without the sauce. In Iowa it is considered filet mignon.

Is 2007 recent? The man is Roy Reiman and he has given ISU a lot of money. There is a beautiful university garden, called Reiman gardens right behind those south bleachers being redone.

I wonder if the original Nuway is still open on Douglas. Used to stop there for the delicious root beer still served in chilled glass mugs (somehow it tasted much better) and their o-rings.

Maid rite is a name I would reserve for an industrial cleanser or plastic container manufacturing.

OK, ISU, we get it. You suck. You don't have to remind us by printing it on the wall in front of your end zone seats.

For people asking why to add more seats instead of putting in a new suite tower first...

how does that answer the question?
-
I thought the more seats to suites question came down to iowans being poor
-
I challenge any of you to find something funnier than when Iowans try to brag. I will be waiting
-
It looks like an open ended Cotton Bowl.
-
Looks like a more rundown version of West Virginia
-
Where's the conference love? I'm glad isu is upping their game. We collectively need improved stadiums. They're basically all crap holes compared to the sec and big 10
-
Yeah. I'm down. I like it for the most part. (Even though the hard angled straight lines of the new bleachers don't really match up with the subtle curvature of the bleachers along the sidelines, and that's kinda aesthetically jarring, lolol.) 'Grats Havs, you've earned it. Once you get permanent bleachers behind that other end zone your stadium will meet SB's qualifications for being a big timey stadium.
-
I only said it kind of looked like an open ended Cotton Bowl from the air, particularly since the Cotton Bowl added on in the upper levels of the endzone.
It is impressive that they'll have 60,000 seats with Iowa down the road and a state that doesn't have a big population. But Proud Paul had better start winning or I don't see those seats being filled for too many more years.

This is probably what its going to look like for a while. I still can't believe this 5-19 team (over the last two years) can have a 60mil renovation. I'm not holding my breath for anything new for a while after this addition. I haven't seen the project yet, living in Texas, so I'll know more once I get up there on Labor Day.
I agree the sight lines are weird in a few spots, and its somewhat jarred together, but I bet thats where visitors seating will be located soon. The old plan didn't connect the upper decks to existing decks, but looked more disjointed. The new plan looks somewhat unified architecturally.
Old plan:

In terms of seating number, I don't think its going to be terribly hard to fill if (a big if) Iowa State can get 6 wins. Thats a pretty low bar, but one Paul is struggling with at the moment. At the end of the day, the biggest positive I see is that new facility upgrades (Endzone seats, Endzone Club, Training Facility, Gateway project) will make the program more marketable for Paul's replacement.
-
It's good to see ISU building lots of seats for those $25 dollar a year donors and general admissions types while bucking the trend set by K-State :kstategrad: who built 70 suites and thousands of club seats to accommodate those that write the high 6 figure and 7 figure checks. :thumbsup:
-
TBH, i really like ISU's model of sell its fiscal soul to get 60k+ into the stadium. I think it's fun. If K-State could build a 70k seat stadium and fill it, i wouldn't care if we had to pay taco john's to give away our tickets with potato oles.
-
The 2-3 actual wealthy donors are probably kind of bummed out
-
Iowa State has a few suites and a club section, in addition to the new club in the South Endzone. We havn't reached full-on Taco Johns mode, guys. Come on!
