The Fieldhouse will be "closed" on game days!

ALL of the entrances to the Fieldhouse have either been blocked off or converted to emergency exits. The only way in or out is now through a security turnstile just outside the South Gym (and then across the walkway above the pool).

You can still shortcut through the Fieldhouse using the hallway next to the South Gym, but everything else--including all the bathrooms--will very likely be inaccessible on game days anymore.

It sounds like it will be inaccessible all the other days of the year as well. No more free strolls down memory lane.
 
Because they don't want anyone to be able to use a real bathroom while tailgating??? Add it to the list...

Come on now I've been with you on many of the issues the University has done to sterilize tailgating but if it is closed other times I'd think there may be a reason for it.

Wonder if the University Hospitals will be closed too.......?? plenty of folks stroll thru there on the way to Kinnick and on the way home - good shortcut and bathroom facility.....;)
 
They closed the old access points because they are now charging to use the facility. It use to be mainly free but no longer.

Maybe that has something to do with the new rec/fitness center built on the corner of Burlington and Madison? I was wondering if they would close down the Fieldhouse when that was completed.
 
Now students will be able to use the new facility on burlington (which is awesome), the fieldhouse, and wellness center west (out by the new tennis courts). Pretty nice for the students...not so good for the general public IMO but those are the times.
