[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1225391, member: 590800"] My first time in CU was with my family in 2005, don't remember it too well. Been back pretty much yearly from 2011 until now, and watching the transformation of Campustown and downtown has been exciting. Again, I don't have the sentimentality of the old establishments or campus traditions as you guys, but it's worth noting that I've taken several Iowa City natives whose parents have described CU as a dumpy town in the middle of cornfields that has a nice campus and not much else, and they've come back home wanting to return to Champaign because it's so much fun and a nice city, bewildered by their parents' totally off-base description of the town. I get the change can be sad for those who've always loved the town, but Champaign is slowly but surely changing its reputation into a really cool college town that's a great time, and that can only be a good thing for the U of I and its sports.
