Grass Lots for TCU

The AD sent out an email a few minutes ago saying the grass lots will be closed, but I don't see any announcements elsewhere about it
 
Ours was sent to Sukup ticket holders. Maybe they're using different lists:

The Cyclones are back at home this Saturday in MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium against the TCU Horned Frogs. The game will kick off at 11:00am and will be aired on ESPN2. Stadium gates and the Sukup End Zone Club will both open at 9:30am.
Parking lots will open at the following times on Saturday:

  • Cyclone Club/Donor Lots:
    • Cars – Saturday at 5:00am
    • RVs – Friday from 8:00am – midnight; Saturday at 5:00am
  • Public Lots:
    • RVs – Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center Lot: Friday from 5:00pm – 10:00pm; Saturday at 5:00am
    • All other public lots and vehicles – Follow posted regulations at all local and campus parking lots.
  • Due to recent rainfall in the Ames area, along with forecasted rain in the upcoming days, the Iowa State Athletics Department has announced that all grass lots surrounding MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium are closed for Saturday's game vs. TCU.
o Patrons with G7 parking passes will be re-routed to the paved lots at Vet Med.

I love how usually a forecast can ebb and flow throughout a week but 10/5 has been stuck on rainy all week, and it's between two decent forecasts on either side.
 
I've parked at the Agriculture Student Learning Center for both Iowa and ULM, it's an easy walk and you can tailgate in the lot.
 
Some of my fondest memories of G7 were sitting in our truck and watching people drive to drive out of the mud pit.

Maybe it's the farm kid in me, but most people don't know how to drive in the snow or mud. :confused:

Spinning your wheels = bad.;)

Can this season have worse FB weather?

Iowa game -- horrid
Louisiana-Monroe --- horrid
Baylor --- stifling oppressive dangerous heat

Ames forecast next 6 days? ?

~ Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday -- SUNNY
~ Saturday? 90% chance of rain

I loved the grass field for 20 years. I have done a 180 degree turn. Get field turf please

If the field does get a good amount of rain Saturday I can only imagine what condition it will be in afterwards. I guess one good thing is they would have 3 weeks before the next home game to try and get it back into decent condition.

99% chance of this being a dumb question but...is that enough time to tear it up and put a new one down?

Yeah you could if you want to spend the $$$. Don't believe it would be cheap though. NFL teams redo their sod if needed quite a bit. Especially down the middle of the field.

It's already in pretty bad shape. CW was talking about it on KXNO last night when they had John Walters on.

It can be tricky though. Sometimes replacing mid year makes it worse especially with more rain. Hard rock stadium in Miami has done it and one year the NFL almost moved the game due to how poor the field was.
