JTS does not need a press box or sez. It was already named the best field in Ameirica
Someone call me when Kinnick wins anything that cool.
Yeah thats the turf, not the structure.

You USC uni guys crack me up.
Before we looked like the chiefs.
Iowa looks like the Steelers...ON PURPOSE.
Kansas looks like the Giants
TTech and Cincy have looked very similar
Delaware looks like Michigan
The Powercat for KState is pretty much an exact replica of the Tigerhawk, as is Southern Miss logo
Wisconsin and Nebraska games look like a spring game...except the one in Madison this year...whoa!
etc
etc
etc
etc
GET OVER IT. There are only so many colors that can be combined in different ways, and invariably some are going to resemble eachother, as are logos, chants, songs, slogans, again etc, etc, etc, etc...It is just a really lame and tired arguement.

Hey man you have to start somwhere. It still nice to be the best in somthing. Now all the announcers will have to say JTS is the nicest field in America on the TV for all to hear.
JTS will never be a Cadillac (sp) in terms of what other fields around the country are. ISU is not a wine and cheese crowd and does not have the same culture as southern schools. JTS is not bad on Big 12 standards. Things will continue to get updated here and there but the SEZ and such will take time to get done. JTS is a work truck that runs well right now and it helping make the company money. When the owners (JP) see it fit and profitable to upgrade they will. Until then lets just take pride in knowing JTS is not garbage and has some neat qualities that make it a unique and nice home for ISU.

How do I 'splain this....uhh...here:

I buy the KState - Iowa similarities, but Southern Miss and Iowa aren't even close to the same style. The only similarity is that they both represent the head of a bird of prey and you'll have that when their mascots are both birds of prey. (Although actually Iowa's isn't so if anyone is in the wrong it is Iowa since theirs should be an avian eyeball.)
Actually it would be this:
The mascot is based off a character in Last of the Mohicans. Which is dumb.

I think you're confusing the state nickname with Alan Alda's character in M*A*S*H.
Press box is fine. I've seen nothing from JP that implies we are going to expand the size of it. He has said on multiple occasions that the interior needs to be upgraded (amenities, etc.).
Iowa Hawkeyes football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[h=3]Mascot[/h]Iowa's mascot is Herky the Hawk, a black and gold caricature of a Hawk. Herky was created as a cartoon in 1948, and first appeared at a sporting event in 1959. Herky was actually named after the Greek God Hercules. The term "Hawkeye" originally appeared in the book The Last of the Mohicans and was later used in its plural form to describe the people of Iowa. The University of Iowa adopted this as the nickname for its athletic teams.
Iowa Hawkeyes Football History - College Football
Herky and the Hawkeyes
The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago.
The name Hawkeye was originally applied to a hero in a fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Author Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them.
In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison.

Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawk-Eye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval.
The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawk, was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism.

I mean I guess if Southern Miss and Iowa's logos weren't similar this wouldn't have happened?

Der, der, derrrr.

So? Two old judges opinions on legality means little in terms of perception.
Nevertheless, other schools having similar colors or logos to each other does not suggest such ISU having such a similarity to another college program is a positive.
CyDude16, you need to get laid, son, you are far too angry about this.
That's rich. I'm okay with the whole needing to get laid thing. Got that pretty much under control since I'm still in college.
Thanks for worrying about me though.
I'ma have to agree with Klamath on this. There's a difference between disagreeing with someone and calling them an idiot (before changing it to der, der, derrr).
Hawkeye was named after the character in Last of the Mohicans. The Hawks were nicknamed after the state (and indirectly after the character too). We're both right.
Yeah, after my last post, I went back to what I was doing and finally thought to myself...you're arguing over the origins of the Hawkeye...WTF. Decided not to delete it just because I was lazy.
Carry on, as you were...at least we can agree on Ribs and Whiskey.
