Thanks a lot! Never knew there was enough room to have the fields run that direction. I guess technically there isn’t enough room, but for practice there’s no need to have a full length field.
Yeah. Especially when there's three of them right there.

Is the I State Logo at "midfield"?
Nope Jack Trice stripes. JK. It would be interesting to see what the stripes would look like on both sides of Cyclones and Iowa State in the endzones. Might be too busy.

A few interesting observations from the RV Village.

Each grass area has gravel near the road, presumably for parking.

Some of the sod is looking good, but much of it is drying up. Some rows have both good and dry areas. This week will be tough on the sod.

For the three practice fields they could do the Cyclones primary and secondary logo on the outside fields, then trice stripe logo in the center of the middle field.

Drove down to that area about 6:00 last night. A good amount of sprinklers were going at the RV Village. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to run through the 20 or so sprinklers running.

Seven Saturdays this fall, I’ll travel 75O miles round trip each time to vacation in Ames. I’ll also get an appreciation for Ames while in Iowa City, Lawrence, Austin, Stillwater, and Fort Worth on the other weekends.

Dang impressive. How many years have you done the full FB schedule, just making the home games would have been impressive to me.

Id guess the gravel is for turning into the spots.

Probably right. In the guidelines, they say that no part of a vehicle can stick into the driveway.

I have attended every home ISU FB game since 1970. I have attended every away ISU FB game since 1976 except for one in 1985. That’s 536 of the last 537 games, excluding the 3 games I was not allowed to attend during the pandemic.

Impressive. You have seen some serious clunkers in that stretch.

What was the old stadium over by Friley Hall like back in the early 70s?
