Cedar Rapids Game Watch

Goldfinch it Marion is technically the game watch bar but there is typically not a large crowd. I’ve never been there at the same time as an Iowa game though
Yeah unfortunately there is rarely much of a crowd at these things. We had a really nice crowd at the bowl game and watch against Notre Dame though.
I have debated getting involved and trying to make it something like the DFW club as there isn’t really a reason it can’t be.
I always thought the same thing. There are enough alumni in the area it shouldn’t be that hard. Regardless, there is a decent chance I go sit at Goldfinch by myself and see who else shows up
I might check it out then. Just mostly looking for an ISU friendly place hahahaha.
My one friend that was gonna join me is not coming anymore. So got check if a couple family members want to go out or just watch at home while the ladies are running errands.

It’s my wife’s birthday and she is having a girls day otherwise I would join you.
It’s been a chronic problem forever. Unless there’s a guaranteed say 50% of a bar noticeably wearing ISU gear l, it just doesn’t work. And who wants to commit to it without knowing if anyone else shows. Easier to stay home. Thousands of Clone fans in the area and can’t get 50 to show. No leadership in the area and I’m too lazy to do it either. A few of us should just buy a bar and be done with it. Anyone in?
As a born and raised metro Cyclone I am fairly serious about getting something more serious and engaging going. Will be time to put my effort where my mouth is once I convince my wife that being involved with/on a third board won’t be that bad…
Heading there for lunch. Probably head home for the game though. Iowa fans are insufferable.
My wife is adamant that we should open an ISU bar in the area.
As someone who has been a little bit involved in Cedar Rapids Alumni events, the problem is convincing a bar owner to go all in.
I think it would be great to have a full ISU place in CR. Lived here for 51 years. I'd rather watch the games at home though since they are all on.
Pretty confident in saying Gold Finch is not the game watch spot for ISU.
