I agree with all of this. However, despite all of those disadvantages, I've been in Carver multiple times when it has been rocking and an intimidating place to play. The level of play from Iowa bball has been for the most part bad for the last 20 years with a few good years here and there.
He’s split between dooshbag and moron. Not ISU/hoks.
When has Carver ever been rocking? I've been to multiple Iowa vs ISU games there and it's one of the worst road venues I've been to
I saw Garth Brooks in there many a moon ago. Long ass way down to the floor and up to the bathrooms.
Been a while for sure. During the 80s and most of the 90s it was a good atmosphere. I recall Kendall Gill saying something like it was the toughest place to play in the Big 10 at the time. Alford had a few years where it was good too and it wasn't too bad during the Aaron White years. But you are right, for the most part of the last 15 years or so it hasn't been good.
For most Hok fans that was, literally, yesterday - the 80s never really went away.
I wish they would return. Very good to great football, basketball, wrestling and women's bball programs. That decade will be hard to repeat itself.
Like they say, how many hawkeye basketball fans does it take to change a light bulb?
10.....one to change it and 9 to talk about how great the old one was.
The fans sat on their hands until a little over nine minutes to go during the Pitt game the other night. We sat next to the student section, small and not very knowledgeable. They also don't have much more room for students so it isn't going to be rocking during many games. I was sitting in the Pitt section.
Carver has been going downhill for years, but it was rocking back in the early 2000's yet. Once the Alford era went downhill and Lick did his thing it hasn't been the same since.
So what did you disagree with in my statement? I've been to many road venues and Carver is one of the worst
You implied Carver has never been rocking with your initial question. That's what I disagreed with.
When I lived in C.R. after college it dawned on me that many people there and from the surrounding area really stayed stuck in their high school modes/egos so this adds up.
