They hyped this thing so much only to have pretty much the same damn design

I noticed they did change the "Iowa Hawkeyes" along the baselines to a gold outline only, rather than solid gold. And there is a subtle "I" pattern throughout the black sections outlining the court that is a nice touch. (You can see it easily if you get a larger view of the photos.)

Overall, looks fine. I wasn't opposed to a more significant change, but this keeps everything very on-brand, which I'm sure was the goal.

I think they will add a sports bar situation at cha. You see this at a lot of newer and remodeled arenas nowadays.. a place to sit down at a bar or tables and get decent quality food and have a sports bar atmosphere.

I enlarged the photographs and did notice the subtle I in the black along the sidelines. Flashy doesn't fit the program and I agree this looks nice and maintains the brand. I think the bigger impact will come when they change the seating and get the students closer to the court. You can modernize and still keep things traditional.

Would it be out of the possibility to take four stairs/aisles and turn them into escalators or people movers to get to the concourse and back down faster?

Essentially... It's much more cost effective to make improvements to Carver, spend the money on players, and maybe develop an area for a few bars/restaurants closer to Carver/Kinnick.

I haven't been there lately, but did they not think of making the first floor of the new parking ramps have space for some bars/restaurants?

They should take the UI property that has the Womans softball field and track that stretches to the bottom of Hawkins Dr. Develop it with Bars and resturants. Think Big Grove. It would be a place to gather to party/eat prior to and after games. Close enough to get to Kinnick walking.

Maybe a Bridge to CHA too, Jaime?
