Why is Kinnick Stadium considered historic?

[dafarmer]

I believe it is the largest public urinal in the BIG 10, maybe in the US.

You are entitled to your opinion. Herbstreit has called games at both stadiums and disagrees.

I've been to both stadiums too.

Historic Kinnick Stadium is one of the best atmospheres in all of college football; acccording to Kirk Herbstreit, it is one of the five best, right along with Penn State’s White Out, night games at LSU, etc. And just think, that is before the North Endzone renovation that is going to make Kinnick even louder.

Does best atmosphere or noise level make a stadium historic?

There’s been more big games at Kinnick obviously. It’s an old stadium that’s seen a lot of great players play there.

@ThriceHawk you've attended a game at LSU?

Boone Pickens is an old stadium that’s seen a lot of great players and I don’t consider it historic.
When I think historic I think Camp Randall, Rose Bowl, Neyland.

What’s the difference between Camp Randall and Kinnick??

Kinnick is 500-600 times more historic - Iowa fans probably

Randall holds 11-12 thousand more.

Randall holds 11-12 thousand more.

So that makes it more historic?

He asked what the difference was. I said about 11-12,000. You assume a lot of stuff.

I don’t know WTF historic means. But, of the stadiums I’ve been in, the only one that I thought I was in the presence of football Gods was Notre Dame. I thought I could fee ghosts. Same thing with Lambeau Field.

For those of you on the board that might have went, didn’t ISU play at Army a number of years ago? What did you think of the stadium? I’ve been to Annapolis but not West Point.

People who went to that game raved about West Point. Really wish I could have gone.

Please take it easy on derpycy. After all his undergrad is from Iowa and Masters from UCLA.

Wait, did he actually say that? He also said he had something like 2 masters and a PhD from Iowa as HerkyFan on the Iowa rivals site. I remember it because it was the biggest load of **** I’ve seen on an Internet forum, which is pretty incredible.

Have you ever been to Camp Randall or read anything about it?

If you’ve done either, then you know.

 

[JP4CY]

No but it’s still more of an influence than your obsession over noise level ever will be.

Notre Dame stadium is pretty cool.
FYI, if you’re ever driving by on 80, I think the town is a dump, but the campus is beautiful. The stadium has had its gates open on the times I’ve visited and you can walk thru the tunnel to get a better interior view.

Believe it or not I was at the convicts vs Catholics game back in 1988. I was in school in Iowa City and went to Chicago with a friend his place. His dad was an alum and had an extra ticket. Awesome time.
