I've been to both. I like both. Turns out, I can drink beer anywhere and have a good time with my friends and people around me. Who knew?

I've done this before too, it's not a bad route to take. You can park in coralville and hop the train to Kinnick. Then you can go anywhere.
True, but doing it in someone's front yard 5 miles from the stadium isn't quite the same experience as doing it with 20,000 fans right next to the stadium. I know, I've tailgated at both places.
Laugh all you want, but despite its size, its an old dump. There's a line between 'historic' and just 'old' and Kinnick is definitely on the side of "old"
When were you in college? Obviously it was before the $80 million dollar renovations to Kinnick in 2006.
Magic bus is gone, last time I heard. It was a big deal a year or two ago over here, big urination match between them and the city, they set up this permit system for folks setting up shops/tailgates around the stadium. Basically, the city decided they wanted to shut the magic bus down, so they passed this ordinance, then when the bus folks pointed out that it affected everyone else down there too, the city was going to put it in for everyone, then everyone *******, then they changed some stuff, and if I recall, in the end, the magic bus still didn't come back.
I will, and thank you for keeping me entertained on a Friday afternoon at the office. Next you will say that Jack Trice is a better venue.
Had you ever been to kinnick before the 93 mil upgrade? There's a reason it took that much $$ to make it look like it does, which is sill not all that great. Not saying JTS is better, its just not great. Only thing I'm jealous of is how closer the seats are to the field. So yes... It was really ****** back when we went to

While your there I'd recommend a vaccinationshot to prevent contracting Herkies while in Ia City.
I've used Finkbine in the past but its been a few years.

Dress like the guy on the left and tell me about your experience after the game

I have had some pleasant experiences of tailgating in IC but they were always hosted by a hawk fan.
That's some garbage right there, I mean for 10 dollars it was all you could drink and you could watch the game on the tv's plus they had bands at halftime on a stage. It was always a good time
Some pretty good insight here... 
Anyone got anything? I understand IC is not conducive to tailgating... I didn't really choose this event, just responsible for organizing it.
Honestly going to the Field House or something to watch the game is the most enticing suggestion thus far.

I tailgated there quite a bit in my early college days with friends who went there, even dated a hawkeye fan for a while and never had a bad experience, just the normal hard time given to visitors. But admittedly haven't been back since maybe something like 2005.
I did see a dude in an ISU shirt get sucker punched in the port-a-potty line in '02. That was crazy.

This is the typical tailgating experience over in that dump of a town for Cyclone fans...
