They are presently "strong-arming" their fan base/season ticket holders, to see how many will pony up for mega-expensive
luxury suites and box seats. I have a feeling this is something Bradley wouldn't be able to do.
Iowa State is planning a coliseum/complex, and improvements to the football stadium, but the concerns are that many of the
big spenders in the fan base are more football oriented than basketball oriented, and Cyclone football has not been as dominant as it once was.

For comparison sake, the Carver-Hawkeye Arena (that Stave Alford's Hawkeyes play in) cost over $18 million to build in 1983, and that is not including land costs as the university already owned the land.
The costs for a similar arena today are being projected well above $100 million.
