Pressbox and Iowa state team on wrong side.

[TheOne1]

Why doesn't ISU get this correct. Home team is on side of press box, opposite the chains. Get chains out of way, Plus we cross with opposing team coming on to field. Simple solutions, all the losing was done on that side of the field, let the visitors have it.

I'm way more concerned with this than our five wins in the last two seasons.

Its all about getting the players on TV.

The new press box will probably be built on the other side. Problem solved.

 

[WIB]

I would be pretty ****** if they switched it. I enjoy yelling at opposing players quite a bit.

 

[clones26]

do you know how many people would have to be reseated for that to happen? No way its worth it

Score touchdowns and win games and that shouldn't be a problem.

Exactly.. how else was everybody who watched on TV supposed to know they should be mad at players dancing on the sidelines?

 

[SoapyCy]

if it's really a case f the home team on TV, which sounds legit, why don't all schools do this?

I was told back in the day someone had the idea the Cyclones would be nice and warm in the afternoon sun on those cold late-fall afternoons, while their opponents cowered in the chill of the shadow of the west stands.

simple solution - people worried about this should simply watch the game in a mirror - that'll fix everything.

Can't do that. Except for a couple situations press boxes are all on the west sides of stadiums so the camera isn't looking into the sun

Yeah, I wasn't serious.

 

[CyBelieve]

Plus later afternoon or evening games early on, coaches are looking into the sun. Makes no sense that the home team is on the east side. Even though I sit on the east side, I am all in favor of the switch.

 

[RubyClone]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if the coaches and/or admin thought this was a problem - they'd change it.

Translated - they don't find it to be a problem

 

[Cyvilian]

They addressed this before they started using the new locker room and tunnel. Rhoads likes the east side. Something was mentioned about late fall sun, shade and a chill in the air. They also mentioned that something like 20-30% (don't recall the exact number) of stadiums have teams crossing paths.

For marketing the ISU brand, we are opposite the press box because the main TV cameras are in, on, or around the press box and our school administration (not sure if it started with Pollard or before him) wants the ISU team and fans in the background of every shot. They like the sea of Cardinal!!!

With seasons like the one we just had, not sure I would want to be seen on TV.

Instead of filling the bowl why dont we build up to actually increase capacity. We'll sell out no matter how many seats we have
