If you don’t live in Ames or won’t already be there, I would strongly suggest staying home. Travel will be almost impossible tomorrow.
I made the round trip from Johnston the other day for the ISU v Houston game. That drive was undesirable, but nothing compared to what’s expected for tomorrow. I suggest staying home, grabbing a couple drinks, and enjoying the show in the warmth of your home.
Does anyone in West Des Moines or Ankeny (or anywhere in between) have an extra Johnnys pass for tomorrow? We are going to try to get up there still to root on the Clones, and are short one wristband.
Sounds like todays match will be moved up to 5 and closed to the public.

Funny note, but one time in college I had a dual at UVU and they had a winter storm. The storm knocked out power to their arena. However, their wrestling room was in a different building that had power. Needless to say, we wrestled the dual in the wrestling room. There were probably 15 fans there standing in the room. Yes, this was a division 1 dual in a wrestling room, pillars and all.
That's an ultimate SICKO fan experience right there
