I'm struggling to really come through with a good "2 inch event" joke so I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your phrasing.
This isn't a chest pump since ISU has grass but I'm pretty sure whenever you can play on grass the better if it can be maintained.
There was flash flooding in Iowa City and 82mph winds by the stadium, I don't think anyone would be playing. The field was drained within 30-45 minutes. The bubbling process is actually a way of reducing stress on the pumps by pushing excess air under the surface of the grid.
your point is founded on times when people posted photos to Twitter? Nah ... I'm interested in information that can be verified. It might not be there, and that is okay.
Now to the pump, and air bubble claim.... where is that?
Oh yeah, everything is great for Saturday... unless it rains a lot during the game, then they switch to water polo.
I've heard it is a lot more severe than they're letting the public know. That stuff doesn't just lay back down like a rug
Of course it is. This is public relations 101, or perhaps 301 in Iowa City. I'm sure that company is scrambling right now.
I wonder if it'll look stretched in some areas and if that Zamboni thing can fit it
It is very ugly, no doubt there. It doesn't match up with the rest of the stadium at all. Like you said, it's basically just a straight line across and none of it matches up with the sides at all.
And then they have that awful field turf on top of it. Players do not like playing on that crap anymore at all. It's more dangerous to the athlete. And who knows how safe it will be on Saturday with all the damage done to it with yesterday's storm?
Here's a pic I found showing how horrible this looks.....
What do you expect when the good architect school is in Ames? As for the turf, it will be pretty funny if it turns out like the BIG title game last year when the turf by the end zone was ripping up like a zipper and they had to pause the gameplay to fix it. How embarrassing that was.It is very ugly, no doubt there. It doesn't match up with the rest of the stadium at all.

Going to look so badass.

The way it was before fit in a LOT better than this does. It's as if they just wanted to find something to spend some money on?
It's even uglier in that picIt is very ugly, no doubt there. It doesn't match up with the rest of the stadium at all. Like you said, it's basically just a straight line across and none of it matches up with the sides at all.
