        Decent stadium. Looked fairly nice on television. How new is it?

        Reminds me a little of SIU, except way nicer. Or maybe a mini Jack Trice.
        The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

          The stadium opened in 1981. The end zone complex was opened before the 2003 season I believe. The stadium was designed to be expanded to 30 thousand by enclosing the open end zone should the program ever make the move to 1-A. That was the hope of former AD and coaching legend down here Jim Wacker who led us to two D-2 championships the first two years the new stadium was open, 1981-82. The field is named for him.

            Oh and on the Trice note, you are correct. When I first saw Trice in 1999 it reminded me of a big Bobcat Stadium. Haven't they put some end zone seats at one end of Trice in the past couple of years?

              Yeah they did, i sat in them last year when UNI faced ISU in football(ohhh bad memories) Yeah your stadium looks a lot like it. Move up to I-A. uh oh now we're going to have to start calling it the big 13.....hahahaha
              Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP


              What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.

                  It's listed at a little over 15,200 on the website but we sold a little over 15,400 to the game Saturday. I think the extra 200 or so were in the suites in the end zone complex. I know there were many of us hoping to sell more but the NCAA doesn't allow temp stands or standing room tickets to be sold, at least according to the paper. Seems to me I saw a heck of a lot of people standing at your New Hampshire game yesterday.

                    JC... I know if it was a Saturday game, you weren't gonna be able to make it down there. Now that we know for sure it's Friday - you gonna make the trip??!!
                    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
