Wow, much higher up. If I walked up the steps from the ground all the way up, I'd probably pass out by the time I made it to the top.
So will Kinnick be louder because of this? It certainly is higher and seems more imposing.
So am I hearing correct, the only thing that won't be finished with the new north endzone stands by the first game September 1st is the scoreboard?
I heard a rumor that they are going to add really bright strobe lights to the club area and that those will be turned on whenever the opposing team is on offense. So the QB will have to deal with them when trying to pass if they are driving that way and the WRs will have to deal with them when they turn to make a catch if they are going the other way. It's honestly the best idea I've heard from our athletic department in years.Hell yes it will be louder! To be quite honest, that picture doesn't do the size justice. In person it's much more imposing.

Are they requiring the full $1900 donation plus ticket prices for this year even though the facilities aren't complete? Was this disclosed going in? I would probably blow a gasket if I dropped that much coin on seats and had to piss in a porta potty and couldn't go inside to warm up and grab a beer.No, none of the suites will be completed, nor the restrooms, or concession stands, if I recall. I can't remember if they will have porta-johns in that area or mobile concessions stands, but I don't believe so. I thought the scoreboard would be done, but maybe I'm incorrect.
Great, then all those fans will be hoarding my bathroom location. I'm press box side, 35 yrd line north end-zone. Maybe I'll bring a couple plastic bottles to piss in, hope the people around me won't mind.No, none of the suites will be completed, nor the restrooms, or concession stands, if I recall.

Geez, imagine if they used that sort of design for the South End Zone...as if Kinnick wasn't intimidating enough! Hard to believe they built it that big and managed to reduce the seating.
Wait until the ticket demand gets high enough and they close in the corners! That's when it will get REAL loud. I know they have the ability to do that, as it's been mentioned before. At least in the south endzone, I know they can.
I'll still be here, bitching about our punter.Hawk in the middle of the field. Water tower painted now. What are we now going to bitch about?
