A tigerhawk at midfield would be awesome! So therefore it won't happen.

At least they finally painted a tigerhawk on the water tower

A Tigerhawk was added to the practice field when that turf was replaced last year.....maybe?

If you are are going to post a fake pic, at least make the tiger hawk proportionate in size.

Maybe we should replace the turf with muddy grass so other teams will not have a speed advantage.

Hey I would love to go back to real grass. That's how football should be played. The NFL is taking football away from us. Can't hit anyone, can't tackle anyone, very few grass stadiums. Lets start bringing football back and start with real grass in Kinnick

From what I know, there will be a Tiger Hawk at midfield.

I can't believe I missed that! Needs to be in black though. Hope they ask me for my opinion!

from what I know, I'll be sitting in my same seat inside Kinnick next year, probably a tad bit intoxicated

Iowa got rid of real grass because they were having issues with it not growing/recovering well. This is very common for stadiums were the field is below actual ground level. That is why they went to turf.
With regard to the logo, I believe Barta said that the turf is being replaced after this coming season ends and they are considering adding the logo. Time will tell.

In addition, real grass is a maintenance whore. A lot of staff time and $$ to maintain. Now they just throw it in and I suppose have a riding vacuum to periodically clean it.

It was. And that "I" at mid-field was the site of one of the greatest nights of my Freshman year.
You broke in Kinnick and went horizontal with a girl on the I? Nice.
