renting a car and driving a total of two hours sounds like a lot of work?

Will be in attendance @Baylor and @TCU. Maybe if we get a group together, AST will cook for us in Ft. Worth? Would take.

Not sure if their renovations have changed anything, but when I was there 4 years ago their sound distribution was the worst of any stadium I've ever been to. Just blared extremely loud from one end pretty much. Also, their video board setup above their football complex looks like a WWE stage. Zero redeeming qualities about Jack Trice

By that criteria, isu is a clear-cut choice. But I think you should raise your standards.

1. Stanford- Wow! Cali!
2. WVU- New territory. Moonshine and stuff.
3. TCU- Ft. Worth. Lots to do.
4. OU- Open beer container laws. A cool party area. Elite stadium. Negative- Almost getting blowen up by a bomb.
5. ISU- MIR is there. Decent party seen, but that's about it.
6. Baylor- Dog crap place. 2 bars in thee entire town. Depressing crap hole.

Both of these are awful. Been to Baylor twice but both before McLane stadium. Thats the only reason I'd ever go back. No reason to return to Ames again

Sound system was replaced in 2011, and again in 2015.

Henry Doorly Zoo it is!just did that, I am sure SD has you up to speed on protips but my advice is the best stuff is the in the buildings (Aquarium, Rain Forrest building, the alligators in the basement of the dome) and the outside stuff is pretty meh.
I won't waste a nice weather weekend on it again but will probably return for one of those rando long weekends when the kids don't have school.
Also, the Courtyard downtown has a pretty good location (the Local Bar across the street has like 25 NE brewed taps :sdeek: and 4 foot tall Connect 4 along the wall) but the actual hotel is well worn.
I would do the Hilton Garden Inn next door if only for the fact it has a hot tub and the Courtyard does not.

Went on what ended up being a rainy Saturday and we did the aquarium, which was fantastic, and the dome.
Went to the science museum too because of the rain and it was really good for the kids.

WVU is the only one I haven't been to, but I suspect it's rated two spots too high for this list. And KU has to be lower, even given it's proximity to KC. But otherwise a very solid list. :thumbs:

The sound is much much worse at ISU, part of the issue was because their stadium was so open. No idea if it's better now, guess I'll find out.
