Because they can't park inside.

If Iowa beats Nebbie, is competitive against Mich/OSU, and wins the bowl game, KF should ask Petras to take his COVID year and be a 4th year starter next year.

Between tailgaters and people actually going to the game, I'd bet there's easily 100,000-120,000 people in a 2 sq mile area, half of 'em drunk, and most of the really drunk ones are college guys thinking they're 10' tall and bulletproof. I'm glad they're there. Had a really drunk dude a few seats over bumping into little kids and spilled beer on one, guy next to me texted the tip line and 2 cops were there hauling him out in like 2 minutes.
They don't F with anyone who isn't being an idiot and you can walk around with open containers, why not have 'em around?

They had a history of this. Remember the PONY shoes? Those were da bomb.

I'd say that's a popular take, not an unpopular one. I've never met a Hawks fan who doesn't want it back.

Hawks colors are black and Old Gold with white as an accent color. Nowhere is grey part of that.

"Get off my lawn." -Fryowa, circa 2022
Just kidding. I personally really liked the uniforms they wore against Minny, though. No gray, just a lot of black.
I got more detail. It wasn't that the University didn't kick in or anything that was the cause.
It was just a pile of things. I think they've lost the loading/unloading zone (or partially lost) in Coralville. Or maybe one of the big lots is gone? Something like that. Some of the businesses out there also had troubles with people parking. And, it cost money. Etc. etc.
There was some talk, and still some talk about other things that could lead to options. But it just doesn't appear to be financially feasible. The descendant of the steam group up there that ran the IAIS steam locomotive now has two engines over in the Quad Cities, including the donation of the Challenger (almost as big as the Big Boys) class from Union Pacific. There was some chance of some additional maintenance/storage of yet another locomotive in Iowa City proper. Which could have fit the bill and whatnot.
But there's just too many small hurdles, plus the money. Pretty insurmountable in the end as it becomes a distraction. Fixing all the hurdles is doable. But solving one causes another. And then there's more to solve. And the time/energy of all it...plus the money. Just not worth it for anyone involved.
Yeah somewhere in the last handful of yrs that shoulda happened. It's almost not even fun to hate Neb anymore. Wisky had been a thorn in our side
The OP wanted folks to have unpopular takes not straight up lies
