Sorry if this is a repeat but can anyone tell me where that game will be played and at what time? Trying to figure out logistics to Des Moines? Anyone who knows of nice hotels near the game site would be appreciated too. I was thinking of staying at Embassy by river......any other suggestions?

Go Hawks
 


The open practice will take place at Valley Stadium in WDSM. Located just east of I-30 on Mills Civic Pkwy. Not sure on time. If you're looking for a hotel 'near' the stadium you'll want to stay out by Jordan Creek Mall. There are a couple of hotels just west off I-30 on Mills Civic Pkwy that would be a 2-5 minute drive to the stadium. (Drury Inn & Holiday Inn Express). DSM is not big though so even the Embassy downtown would only be a 15-20 minute drive to Valley Stadium.

You don't want to take I-30, because you won't even be in Iowa. I-35 will work though.
 












Yeah, don't do the downtown hotel, you are better off in the west burbs for access to valley. Should be a fun day ill see you there
 


Wait, people are planning coming from far enough away that they can justify booking a hotel room to watch a spring practice? I think it is weird enough that there is enough interest that the university even considers holding a practice 2 hours from home. If you are that interested (read: creepy) you should probably do research to figure out where the team is staying so you can get close to them...

or we can't make it to Iowa City the following week and are curious as to what the team we donate hard earned money for looks like after Doyle's workouts and 3 weeks of practice. Additionally, the withdrawals of not seeing Hawkeye Football for almost 5 months might add into the reasoning for staying as well. Not to mention there is some shopping that can be done there as well. Guess I'm creepy for having logical reasons to watch the football team I'm highly passionate about.
 


We used Mariott points to get rooms in West burbs somewhere. Hopefully its nice weather. Will be nice to see some friends and family and see the team.
 








Results the last couple years haven't been good, but I like my KF. The notebook and the gun chompin are kind of funny though. I think we start a thread for what goes in the notebook. We can do it here if you'd like. Ill start.

Damn, I gotta get kok back!
I showed you djk!
Just need to execute.
I wonder what Mary's up to?
Remember to get nephew job.
