Just saw a thing on the news about cytown. LOL. It's even more of a shit show than any of us thought, and they now know it.

The P&L district is the exact reason there’s been such a fight recently about the new Royals stadium supposedly going in the old hallmark area. There’s a very real chance that deal gets killed & the royals end up in Nashville. KC has figured out having this stuff only enriches the already wealthy. The Chiefs moving to Kansas is a buttfucking for everyone in Kansas & Wyandotte county not named Hunt.

I’m not on social media, so when Cytown was first announced I voiced early concerns about its funding, its long‑term purpose, what exactly was included, and the loss of access and parking on CF. As this massive development has moved forward, I’ve been more than relieved — Jamie’s vision is stunningly well conceived and now promises to be a showcase not just for the Ames/Des Moines corridor, but for all of Iowa.

I don’t know who’s still opposed to Cytown, but at this point it must be a small vocal number of ids typical of SM.

I think Pollard is getting out quickly because he understands the impending twin disasters of Iowa State football and CyTown.
Whomever is the AD at this time next year faces a decade-plus set of migraine headaches. CyTown. The ISU Center. Lack of revenue. A league being left behind.

Most Iowa towns can’t dream of a university-funded amphitheater featuring space for 3000 on a small lawn. They’ll come from far and wide to marvel at it. They can even get their flu vaccine while they’re there.

It's hard to see the negative to the P&L District if they're even close to correct on their projections. I mean, who wouldn't want to invest a few hundred million dollars when it's nearly a pretty sure thing that you'll get almost an inflation adjusted 0% return in the decades to come?

Not just no return but the pleasure of your tax dollars supporting it. For decades.
im fairly certain that if KC could go back in time they probably wouldn’t do P&L or maybe even the TMobile Center.
I mean even the World Cup was a huge loss financially to the city

I'd put our CyTown Amphitheater up against anyone's, west of the Mississippi.

It’s the guy celebrating at a table with all his friends, and the girl stopping to take a shit, who do it for me.

The ‘Cylo’…
I hope they really lean into that concept.
They can get their concessions at The Feedlot. Stop by the bathrooms at The Outhouse.

Come to Ames where ISU fan‘s rural poverty is celebrated by Sukup six Saturdays a year.

I don’t even think that’s Jimmy Rogers, but I want to believe it is

He’s selling a hardcover book for $65. About ISU athletics. Oh, ADJP wrote for forward? That changes everything.

If the state was smart they’d only fully fund Iowa but that’s never going to happen. Instead they’ll both be dragged down
