As many of you know, the U.S. Cellular Center is going under construction to become the new Cedar Rapids Center thing.. I'm not real sure what they call it.. but it will be going under construction. As many of you also know it is where Washington, Jefferson and Kennedy High Schools host their graduations, also is the home of the Iowa State Volleyball Tournament. Alot of controversey has been unravaling around this new project the city of Cedar Rapids is undergoing and alot of people are not happy about it.
My personal opinion.. is that this all came up so soon. They just brought these new renovations up and i think it was too short notice... When there are big occasions happening in a place like the U.S. Cellular Center.. they should wait to start construction at least in the next 2-3 years to allow acceptable time for Graduations, and State Tournaments to find appropriate accomodations for their events. You cant just schedual big events like this because of concerts/ other high school graduations and even concerts that have been schedualed in advance... Which has created a problem for next years graduations, and the State Volleyball tournament. I am glad to say however, that I will have the honor of being in the last class of 2011 to graduate in the "OLD" U.S. Cellular Center.. GO COUGARS!! :) construction begins August 11, 2011
