Card stunt at kinnick before game

[BergHawk7]

Anyone else here about this. Apparently for this weekends game, on cue during the national anthem, everyone will hold up a card making a design around the stadium of the us flag. Then after the national anthem, we turn the cards over making a black and gold design with ANF incorerated in it.
I think this will be an epic fail, but will be amazing if it works.

[DuffMan]

it doesn't sound so complicated I can't do it completely **** bombed hammered.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Oh boy...surely they don't expect 70,000 "been drinkin' since 7am" fans to be able to pull off a stunt like this!?!?

From a friend who saw it on the hawkeye gazette, and then I saw it on hawkeyesports.com

"BLACK AND GOLD SPIRIT NIGHT, "CARD STUNT"
Saturday's game against Northwestern is the UI's annual Black and Gold Spirit Game. To "stripe" Kinnick Stadium, fans in even sections are asked to wear gold and fans in odd sections of the stadium are asked to wear black. UI students are encouraged to wear black. These instructions are the same used for last year's Spirit Game against Penn State. The UI is also working with the Iowa Farm Bureau to stage "ANF Day at Kinnick." Included among the activities for this salute to America's farmers is a "card stunt" involving all 70,000 fans in attendance. Two card stunts are scheduled, one during the national anthem and another immediately afterward. The UI is asking fans to arrive early at their seats in time to participate in the event.:

As a student, I am pumped for this game. Hopefully the rest of the students aren't too drunk to know how to flip a card..

 

[SixAMtailgate]

yeah, the university was fortunate last year and they are setting themselves up for an ugly failure I think. But I will do my part.

Alot of these replies sound exactly like how many thought the Black and Gold out would go.. We all know how that went.. I'm sure all will be fine!!

 

[SixAMtailgate]

the biggest problem is going to be that half of the people are going to put their card down to take pictures.

Really?

 

[DBorwig316]

I think this is going to look awesome. I won't be putting down my card to take a picture. That's what my DVR is for.

Has a stunt like this ever been done or worked properly in a college stadium? Any one have an example?

Thats insane, the big difference fir us will be, the whole stadium will have cards, so if the announcer gives good instrunctions like they did in those videos, the stadium will look amazing. So lets hope fir the best

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

The reason this is going to fail is because the stadium will be at most 3/4 full at the time of the national anthem.

Not for a night game Sash
