The field at Jack Trice was designed to handle and drain 2” of rain per hour, iirc.
Weather for Saturday
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
Cyclone turf just posted a picture. They actually did cover it for the first time in at least that crews career. I was surprised they did
Yes, it definitely depends on the scenario. Try to keep the field as dry as possible and hope the runoff doesn’t pond.
I also unpacked the ponchos before we left. Still hearing about it from the wife.
Same. Last week, I unloaded our cargo trailer and left two totes on board. One was the rain ponchos and umbrellas!
The field was covered before the Drake game last year.

I believe that’s the grow tarp but not certain.
This is a flat tarp. One in that article they can pump warm air into.

The weather is going to suck but the game will be played, just like last weekend's. Control the things that you can control. I'd like to assume after last week's weather problems and also the way the game ended, Coach Campbell will have this team ready to play their tails off rain, shine, delays, etc.
weather.gov showing showers and storms 8am-2pm. Might see another delay, but hopefully we get lucky and the storms are done by 11.
I will have ponchos.
I will never not pack ponchos again.
I am prepared for a 6 hr game.

Front may be coming in a bit slower, which would help, but I'll wait and see what this afternoon brings.
