I wasn't the one on the high horse. I only brought up that Des Moines isn't the big deal you make it out to be because you were the one who were throwing shade at where everyone else lives.
Why didn't the Big 4 Classic work?

If you are such a big Iowa State fan, why don't you donate any money??
You're welcome.

Newsflash everyone......................it doesnt matter how many tens of thousands of dollars youve spent on tickets, concessions, parking, books, tuition, merchandise, if you dont donate at least $500 bucks to park in C6 you arent really a true fan.
Of course not, but you claim to be such a big, big fan that I would think you would donate some money to the school.
I know you don't donate enough to have a parking spot at Hilton and apparently don't have season tickets. What a fan!
Agreed.
A person really needs to expand their mind if they think a sea of parking leading to the front door of a building is a requirement to claim a place has superior available parking. Well....I guess it is OK for our Baby Boomer parents and grandparents, but the rest of should know better by now.
Oh come off it. You are on here pretending to be an Iowa State fan. We all know you are not an Iowa State fan.
There are plenty of people that can't donate and they are no more of a fan than the person that donates $20,000. But you aren't an Iowa State fan.
Parking is a lot worse right now with the stupid bridges closed and don't you have to pay for all parking meters on weekends now? If so, try to find a 10 hour meter anywhere near Wells Fargo.
Yep. As I have for all but one of the Big 4 classic games. I also went to the Bradley, Ohio State, and Creighton games in Des Moines.
I attend because I enjoy Iowa State basketball and I like to have another chance to see the team play in person. I also attend because for the last 4 years, I can get 3rd row, center court seats
But Wells Fargo is an annoying place to watch basketball and is not nearly as nice as Hilton. First, it is a pain to get any sort of concessions. I sit in the section with the private concession area and I miss way to much of any game when I try and buy a drink or get something to eat. Second, while I enjoy cheering against Iowa in their game, I don't love being surrounded by crappy Iowa fans (much like yourself). Third, the price is high. I spend a lot of money on Iowa State athletics during a year. While $80 isn't crazy expensive, it would get me a game in Kansas City for the Big 12 tournament or possibly a ticket to a conference road game.
I will miss my annual good seats, but won't miss the whole thing next year. We have one of the best home courts in all of college basketball. I'd rather go watch a game in Hilton and have actual leg room.
I will agree navigation between the East Village and downtown is trickier, but I don't feel that affects parking to the arena. Grand Avenue is the closest bridge, and this has been re-open since this summer.
Yes, the meter charge now on weekends. That said, I've gone to many, many events at WF since it opened. I can recall maybe...maybe once parking on-street where there is a meter. It just isn't necessary. There are numerous other options between ramps, flat lots, and streets without meters.
Do you now have to feed the meters on weekends? Usually I'm at a hotel for HS tourneys so I just walked but may be heading down and just hitting up a few things.
