Why doesnt ISU just add a sales tax for Terre Haure businesses to cover the cost of the HC project and a football stadium?

Seriously? ISU isn't a government, why would they have the "power" to levy a tax on the citizens of T.H.
 
I'm not worried about the timeline for the HC renovation anymore. It'll get done. President Curtis will see to it.

In the meantime, I still like HC. And a winning team will bring the crowds.

Have you guys heard who the contractor is going to be for the Hulman Center renovation? No? Me either... February 2015 and nothing to show for it.

Meanwhile the CIB has selected Garmong Construction as the CM for the new convention center project. November 2017 the CIB first announced they would go at it alone and build a stand-alone facility. Less than a year later - things are still progressing and a CM has been selected along with several details about the project.

Well, shoot, when a member of the CIB stands to make a giant chunk of money by selling land he owns to the board he sits on, of course it's gonna move fast! More Vigo County politics for 'ya...

Pretty decent example of "conflict of interest."
 
Looks like Twitch knew want he was talkin' bout. Feel free to defend this bullshit.

This wouldn’t be so disappointing if we hadn’t seen the original plans. Since we have...this is a shit show.

Big whoop they were off a little bit on the budget...they could have solicited donations specifically for the renovation project when they sent out season ticket information.

Do things the right way!!
 
I can handle the boring exterior but making the upper bowl bleacher seats is just wrong. Too many seniors sit up there that will just refuse to go. It is easy to go from bleachers to chair seats but NOT from chair seats to bleachers..........
 
If I had upper bowl season tickets now, and a few years from now they want me to pay the same amount to sit on bleachers, I'd laugh my ass all the way to a Notre Dame game...

This is just disappointing on many levels. Once again, ISU can't get out of its own way.

I don't really care about the exterior difference that much, but the bleachers thing...that's super lame.

Never mind my question about bidding (I deleted it), I know not of the construction industry.

If you’re defending the latest rendering and the timeline at which we arrived at this then we will probably never agree on anything as it relates to this entire project so why even get into a debate ehh?! No one wins.

I’m just not going to bed tonight delusional about Indiana State and how they shit the bed on this project for the last 3 years. If you’re okay with the way all this unfolded I don’t applaud you - you’re part of the problem.

The “new” rendering is insignificant at best - we had the potential to have something special here. Why come to the defense of Indiana State?! Why? Especially when you don’t always come to the defense of our players, our coaches, our teams - why now? Cause you wanted to believe they wouldn’t get this wrong? Well they got it wrong!

This time-lapse will be amazing. They actually made each rendering look better and got us more excited with each released rendering and then... Well you already know how this ends.

2015: First they gave us this:

At least the orange seats will be gone. Don't kill me at the game tonight for making this comment.

I have always thought the orange seats were the worst part of Hulman Center. I now have mixed emotions as I may prefer 1970's orange seats over bleachers...I think that says about all ya need to know about the new plans.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the bleachers won’t be orange.
