I understand +3 @ Minny, but they lose so much on defense that I don't think they'll be able to keep up, especially early in the year. And I still loathe it being on Friday.
An empty Kinnick would break my heart. Hopefully if that happens it's only for the early games. Look if fans are in the targeted age or health group they should sell their tickets. Let some younger fans catch the Hawkeye fever. Watch it safely on TV, come back next year.
