Was thinking about making the drive down there, just googled it and it's 6 (!) hours from Coralville. Might re-think that plan now

My fiance and I made the tip down to Carbondale in 2012. It took 8 or 9 hours from Cedar Falls. I remember the trip went well until we started getting closer to Carbondale. The GPS couldn't find any routes and we ended up taking all sorts of country roads, even some dirt roads. The entire town seemed completely out of the way and removed from the rest of modern society. But, yes, it is a farther trip that it seems. Almost to Kentucky.

I have even heard that it is difficult to get cell phone reception on campus because it is so far out of the way.

That was a painful game btw. UNI punted the ball into another players butt and SIU recovered for a TD. SIU intercepted the ball with UNI something like 5 and goal, and they ran 100 yards for a TD. Hoping for some revenge this weekend.

The time before that we went to OT (blew it to even get it to OT), threw 4 straight passes and lost.

I made the trip out to Carbondale in 2007 and will probably never return.

The town is a dump, the stadium was a dump, and the drive is terrible.

Should emphasize WAS a dump. New stadium is much better. Can't argue with the rest.

Kyle, I agree..the drive was..eh. not as enjoyable as going to Chicago or anything. Carbondale is a St. Louis ghetto dump burb. I haven't been in the new stadium yet but the old one was baaaaad.

Not sure what you are thinking about, but Carbondale is nearly as far from St. Louis as Cedar Falls. It is not a St. Louis suburb.

This is not true. It's a 2 hr drive from St Louis to Carbondale. Definitely not a suburb but it's also certainly not the same 8-9 hr beast of a drive that it takes to go from CF/Des Moines to Carbondale. I'll actually be in St Louis this weekend and would consider making the trip if I weren't already committed to something else.
