What a cool environment! Just a great place to watch the game, live or on TV. The place was hoppin', active and alive. I love the old school gymnasium with the old clocks. I would think the players loved playing in that arena, even though a small croud.
What a great treat for the fans from NW Iowa to have a chance to drive "locally" to a game, at least a relative short distance. Maybe Iowa should make this a yearly "neutral" game just to treat the fans from NW Iowa. Having a footprint and developing a stronger relationship in that area/city couldn't hurt, either. This with the occasional recruit Iowa may be able to pull out of there in all sports. Iowa could be that area in South Dakota's favorite P5 team. Just sayin'. Wouldn't hurt.
Iowa could gain big benefits compared to the small $$ they may miss out on one game.
