Game Watch in Central Iowa

Anyone have plans for a game watch in Central Iowa? Des Moines or Ames?

Re: Game Watch in Central Iowa

Would the UNI Alumni Association, or some kind of similar group throw a game watch in Des Moines? I'm an ISU alum and fan, but my girl friend is a UNI alum, former athlete, and huge fan. We're trying to figure out where the die-hard Panthers are going to watch the game down here. We watched the KU game at Jethro's near Drake, and that was fun, but a lot of the folks were ISU and Iowa fans rooting for UNI, as opposed to a Panther game watch. I think it would be a better environment watching the game where folks were a little more personally invested.

I'll be wearing Purple as I always support UNI when they don't play ISU. I think the Panthers have a really, really good shot to advance, and I'm looking forward to the game. I'm sure I'll be back this fall to talk football. Good luck and beat Sparty!

Al 4 State;

I watched the game last week at 3rd Base in WDM. I can't imagine a better atmospher other than the Edward Jones Dome in the whole country than that. It was un-freaking-real. When my wife took me back Sunday morning to get my car, there were around 50 cars still in the parking lot, apparently they had as much to drink as I did.

Word to wise, if going to 3rd Base for 8:40 game, you should be there by 4:30 in the afternoon if you want to sit.

3 Bag is a good spot for sure! We live in Beaverdale though, so kind of hoping for something in that neighborhood, or downtown. I suppose Johnny's is kind of a natural spot for something like this to occur.

Let's take over Court Ave. and turn Johnny's Hall of Fame into the Panther Den for the game watch this Friday night.

Let's pack it with Purple and Gold!

Dress up in your best game day apparel, costumes, face and body painting allowed, bring you Panther friends and make your way to Johnny’s as we watch history being made for this UNI basketball program.

Mrs. Panthertrack and I showed up at 1:45 and didn't get a table for the game.

Jeg speaks the truth. Atmosphere was absolutely incredible. The free beer for 16 minutes after the game helped, too.

Not sure any of my crew can get to either place soon enough. Anyone interested in watching at The Game in Urbandale? They have food and the TV situation is pretty good, if I remember right.

The Owner of 3rd Base was on Mouth of the Midwest last night and hinted at Purple Beer for the game Friday.

Of course he did. We all know 3 bag is home to the Polk County Hawkeye Fan Club right? Won't they be watching their game at the same time?
