Common Statements
The following common statements are broadly reflective of ideas gleaned by the Design Team from interactions with all stakeholder groups.
- Maintain the tourist attraction
- We LOVE the Corn Palace
- Two courts minimum, three courts desired with improved sightlines
- Better distance for wrestling
- Retain Armory court (used seven days/week)
- Needs education lobby - history, growing and using corn, agriculture
- Entrance and ADA Accessibility are issues
- Would love loge seating/premium seating opportunities eight to 10 suites for six to eight people each
- Anchor sponsors
- City Hall (Art Deco style) is on the National Registry
- Need breakout rooms. Could use jointly with City Hall
- Concessions are not user-friendly. Need more counter space and space behind the Concessions Counter
- Must be versatile
- Must add to seating capacity. The existing seats are too tight. Add cup holders!
- Ability to showcase farm equipment and similar large items
- Needs good broadcasting booths (accessible, private interviews, technology)
- Needs a welcoming space for people to congregate
- Everybody dreams to play in the Corn Palace
- The locker and green room need major upgrades. Too small.
- The training room location is bad
