I'm not really arguing anything here. My point is is you guys just put nearly a hundred million dollars in a renovation project. Personally I think the end zone looks pretty sweet but you couldn't put in some simple stormwater management infrastructure?

Nah nah nah...”historic” storm water management.

After seeing this photo, it begs a question or two.....or three:

Does adding this new addition mean Kinnick remains historical...or....

is it now considered hysterical....or....

with this addition is Kinnick now historically hysterical?

Is it true the flooding was due to a coach in Iowa City clogging the toilets?

Not exactly sure.
There was flash flooding in Iowa City and 82mph winds by the stadium, I don't think anyone would be playing. The field was drained within 30-45 minutes. The bubbling process is actually a way of reducing stress on the pumps by pushing excess air under the surface of the grid.


Happened in frost city to both fields there. You are making crap up with that. Know those guys and know what Austin MN has and nothing is even close to your dope smoking.

It is very ugly, no doubt there. It doesn't match up with the rest of the stadium at all. Like you said, it's basically just a straight line across and none of it matches up with the sides at all.

And then they have that awful field turf on top of it. Players do not like playing on that crap anymore at all. It's more dangerous to the athlete. And who knows how safe it will be on Saturday with all the damage done to it with yesterday's storm?

Here's a pic I found showing how horrible this looks.....

Lol at Iowa State fans saying the renovation looks ugly. Every single fan in America (other than some of you, apparently) would prefer Iowa’s renovation to having a scoreboard that looks like an exit sign on I-35.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...you're comparing a 2018 end zone project to a 2011 scoreboard?

The SEZ upgrade at JTS looks a million times better than what I'm seeing so far with this NEZ little flood thing you guys got going on

You're talking based on the assumption I expected you to agree. You have people here actually saying Iowa's NEZ is ugly and that Hilton is better than Kinnick LOL... of course you're going to make up something like that as a response.
