JAMIE POLLARD: "Bold vision" led to ambitious development propsal
- Thread starter The Rob Gray
- Start date
This would be so amazing if it gets the go ahead. Such an awesome area for central iowa in general
Go Jamie, Go! This is a project that will keep his interest, enthusiasm, and will challenge him clear through to his retirement at Iowa State. He loves a big challenge and he and Sanders are just the people to get it done.
This will end up being 10 years at least right
Probably go up as long as the team keeps winning games as they should
Did they build a dike to protect from floods in that area? Not trying to be a wet blanket just thinking if it were my money I would want a dike to protect my investment.
Looks awesome, but concerned about loss if tailgating. If successful do you duplicate the retail on the other end of the lot? Nothing like a parking lot/field filled as far as the eyes can see with drunk tailgaters grilling up a storm!
Did you even read the article? The intention is that the developers would pay for the construction built to the specs ISU set.
Or use the company that built the UofI children’s hospital; apparently they work for free.

In the renderings you can see the buildings are built up a bit, which would alleviate flood concerns.
Not sure if discussed elsewhere, but losing a parking lot--how feasible or cost effective would a parking garage be?
Build that bridge and everything else love it let's go !!!!
Looks like they are compensating the loss of parking on the east of the stadium. RVs will be over there and Adding more paved parking. Reality is people that park by Hilton are gonna get bumped. I’m guessing the new lots will be 1000+ ?? Maybe 500 and up. Best thing is getting rid of the grass lot. People will always have a place to park and not worry about the forecast if it rains during the week.
And not factual. There’s a much longer thread on the development project.
It’s not an either/or.
That **** looks insane. It’s like our own personal Power and Light district right on campus. It’s...awesome-nutzo cool.
