Our Grass Field and Spring Football

[FallOf81]

THAT should be interesting. How many games before potentially unplayable?

Spring football will not happen

 

[CyCrazy]

Who cares won't happen.

 

[BCClone]

Just keep it frozen and it will be fine.

 

[Bigman38]

Good point, perfect time to replace it.

With Iowa weather I don't know how you can host a home football game in at least sometime in March without having to worry about snow covering the field. I could care less what the grass looks like in March, I just hope we have enough snow melt off to even play a game.

I don’t think spring football will happen or is a good idea....but...you can move snow.

The turf always looked somewhat dormant in April for the spring game. Playing a game in March will be like that Drake game.

Spring football will not happen

Fall football won't happen either

ISU and U of I will be playing in the UNI-dome or we‘ll see you September 2021.

If spring football happens, I think we see ISU installing turf with heating under it.

Not a fan of spring football, but mid-March games wouldn't be that bad. There seem to be a lot of Clone fans partying outside at P&L District in KC. And KC might be 5-7 degrees warmer.

February games would be hit or miss. No way games could be played with weather in Iowa 2 years ago. The only option might be UNI Some.

When we talk about "spring" football, what months are we really talking about?

 

[Gorm]

Spring ball won't happen. Its Fall or bust.

If it were to happen, I'd guess the conference would have the northern schools on the road to start the season and at home later in the season.

Not sure how to handle non-conference. I'd guess we'd be looking at a shortened season anyways, so maybe you don't have that.

So we're bringing back baseball

What’s behind the certainty there will be no Spring football? Maybe things will be looking up in six months. Maybe not, but who knows.

There's just too much money on the table to not try as hard as possible to make spring football work. Spring football has a better chance than CBB just because of the financial implications.
