When do we know?

[wxman1]

Flight plan is not filed as of yet but I will post it when it is.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Probably leave noon or 1ish. Chartered flights so they come directly.

There are no chartered flights scheduled into DSM



There are no charted flights scheduled from LFT either

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

So I am guessing they didn't file the flight plan yet or they are going commercial

Eh, I don't think the game will really be played. I suspect they are using the same technology/studio they used to fake the moon landings to fake the game.

At this point, ISU had no cases in the athletic department as if Wed, so it is pretty safe to say they are good to go, even if they get a case or two. More concerned about Louisiana. Covid has been fairly bad down there. I'm sure there is a lot of pressure on their coach to field a team. The payout from ISU is probably a big part of their budget. Not sure if ISU has to pay if they can't play. Guess the postponement is still available. Lots of complications this season.

Louisiana and Iowa both seem to be coming down from recent spikes.

Pretty clear the ISU AD is doing a great job if they really have no cases compared to the general student population having nearly 1000.

Ames airport?

How about going commercial from Lafayette to DFW to DSM. I see some flights DFW-DSM at 12:35 PM and 3:02 PM.

Nothing scheduled coming into or out of Ames the rest of the day. Plus I am not entirely sure the runway is rated for a bigger plane.

What about later, based on below

Based on UL message boards from the other thread my understanding was... UL players getting tested this AM, they are the quick tests so they'll know results midday and team plane departing 2:30pm with all eligible players.

Sounded like no issues in the team as of Wednesday testing (they have to follow same testing protocol), so fingers crossed it seems like everything would be set up for football tomorrow unless there was an outbreak within the last 48 hours on either side.

See that makes sense until you get to the size of the plane. You can't fit 50 people on that plane let alone football players

I have an Embraer 170 and a Bombardier CRJ-700 making those flights, seating around 70-80. Wondering if that would be large enough.

 

[Aclone]

Did I read only 53 are suiting up for both teams?

The one from DFW might be big enough but even on American's site, the LFT to DFW is an ERJ140 and this is the seatmap.

Not a chance they are going commercial.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Ooooo I think I found it. I think they are chartering from Sun Country. They got a 737 coming in to LFT in the next couple hours and it doesn't have a flight plan out of LFT yet.

No, that is the minimum that must be active before a game is canceled/postponed.

This is some Grade A CF game week content, folks. So much better than COVID bickering.
