I went to Dayton and went north to 13th St. and got on I-35 southbound at that interchange.
Going to the Dayton/US 30 interchange used to be my go-to route until they started closing that on-ramp maybe two seasons ago. I assume they thought it clogged all that traffic trying to exiting from 30 eastbound to 35 south. I never thought it was a problem though, not that many people used Dayton.
It was definitely a problem. You had all of the traffic backing up on 30 because the Dayton on ramp basically turns into the 35 S exit ramp... It's much smoother now.
This could be new thread worthy, but gameday is getting worse for me, and one of the biggest culprits is the whole review process for on field calls or lack of. A buddy and I were chatting and we both had a good laugh about how the review process is exactly what everyone said they did not want before it was put into place. (interrupts flow of game, still not conclusive, a crutch for referees). The last few years it has bothered me, on Saturday, I had serious thoughts about how much more I would enjoy the game being at home. I estimate 20-25 minutes was wasted on Saturday from play stoppage whistle to play starting again. Is that too high? It felt much longer while actually sitting and staring angrily.
I think it always feels longer when you are in the stadium.
Yep, got to the intersection and flipped a uturn right in front of the parked cop car knowing he wasn't going to pull me over. Instead he gives me a dirty look lol.
Was told by a donor (who always had passes in the past) that the athletic department pulled most of the sideline passes this year. He didn't have a reason why.
Yeah, and the tv time out time ref now has a stop clock you can see how much will be wasted this go around.
Kind of. They call it CyRide. I park at the mall (free) and ride CyRide from the mall to Hilton and walk to Jack Trice. It costs $1.00 each way. You lose the tailgating experience, but that's fine with me. Cheapest parking I've found and I get back on Highway 30 quicker than I did when I'd park in Vet Med on most Saturdays.
The ride away from the stadium after the game can be a bit crowded, but most people are courteous and offer seats to elderly, or needy and by the time we're past the Ames library there is usually a seat for everyone.
I feel the TV breaks are worse than the reviews. 2.5 minutes per break, at least 2 per quarter it seems.
Replay has been a bad change to football because they still can’t quite get it right. Make the call and move on.
I also heard this from my cousin, who worked for the team last year and still has friends that work on the team. Said they were doing aeay with a lot of sideline passes but didnt say why.
I just want to streak across the field and destroy that clock!!!
