Weather for CyHawk Game?

[TOFB4ISU]

I was on a fairway at golf course in Champaign/Urbana in June and they had so much rain the fair looked like a huge tumor. I saw the Forest City turf, but have never seen natural grass do that before.

Stone Creek. Amirite? Place has always had problems.

For kinnick drainage, a real problem is that the stadium is so far below grade. It was done that way because it was much cheaper to build way back when.

Shive-Hattery was the chief architect and engineering team for the project. Their site says it was designed to handle 20 inches of rain an hour.

I wonder how many ISU engineering and architecture grads worked on the project?

Didn't they drop the field to add seats awhile ago? That is one thing I'd heard, why the seats are even closer than any other old stadium.

Keep up all the talk about bad weather. It will help discourage people from coming and drive down the price of scalped tickets so that I can get a steal! Thanks all.

The problem is within 10 minutes of a light spring shower Kinnick is flooded to the seats. It’s like that **** hole has zero drainage system.

So in summary you're saying:

No. At least significantly. There have been no seats added to the sides.

Damn, you are going to have a blast in both of those cities.

Kinda makes you wonder how many Cyclone flags are buried in Kinnick.

current crest forecast for Cedar River in Cedar Rapids is 17.5 feet for sunday; 1.5 feet above major flood stage. and the rain keeps dumping in eastern iowa. this could turn into a bad situation this weekend. stay safe out there.

We found out that the Ames High game with IC High on Friday night may have to happen on their practice field which is turf. Their field much like Kinnick is in a toilet bowl and is grass. Seems they take so much pride on their field being grass, they don't want to tear it up as it could be a mud fest there from what school officials are saying. I guess one good toilet bowl deserves another......
