*** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

The Ames runway is 5700 feet long. A google search indicated that a 737 needs a 6000 foot runway.

Ehh, length is always exaggerated so I’ve heard. Just go as far as you can.

wish they would announce something. I need to run errands in Ames before the game and don't want to leave to early if the game is postponed until 8:30

Hence my statement “on the ground.” Blowing out the brakes to avoid running off the end of the runway into the snow by the Danfoss warehouse would still be “landing,” by some definition … but they’d have a very hard time getting that plane back up in the air from there.

Theres also this, from Boeing’s own 2005 publication about B737s for airport planners (I do realize different models of 737s have different runway requirements):

It might have been 20-30 years ago that an Omaha bound 727 landed by mistake at Council Bluffs. The approach to Omaha did line up with the CB facility, but it was 7 miles away from the planned destination. The plane actually landed OK, but the runway way was too short to get it back in the air. Boeing had to bring in a crew to strip out the seats and as much of the interior as they could to allow for take-off on a shorter runway.

CW said on Twitter that as of an hour ago ISU said we're still planning on playing today.

Can't play without an opponent in the building though.

You could… but it would be a pretty boring game.

I’m about a block from where our track team plane crashed right now. I would rather they stay in Okie city if it’s unsafe

"Heartland College Sports" (?) is saying it's moved to an 8pm tipoff.

 

[NoCreativity]

He should ask St. John's how they were able to make it to Omaha all the way from NY for an 11am game but they are struggling to make a short 90 minute flight to Iowa work.

They're 'wacky crowd participation theme that nobody does'-ing this.

Odds are good their "source" is this thread.

Plane has taken off, arriving in DSM in about an hour.

And with how people show up for things like Johnnys, which would open in a bit over an hour for a 5p tip, its very much time to make an official call.

This has LA football game 2020 vibes.

Hopefully the outcome is better.
