America does keep getting Fatter!!
That was one where you knew it was gonna suck going into it. Just a constant 40 degree rain.
Hopefully not like Carvers seats. Couldn't be more uncomfortable.
Don't entirely disagree but I'd take Carver seating over Kinnick where three grown a*s men are expected to squeeze into and share a bleacher space of 45 inches. Lol.
They’ve priced almost everyone out of that parking lot. Fewer than half the spaces are used. Incorporating half of it for your idea is doable and a solid idea.
Would rather have them fix the passing game and tighten up the defense than any of this - just my 2 cents
Absolutely agree with you as I travel half way cross country to watch the Hawks play 3/4 times a year… so I get it as I understand your point of view for sure
I do not have the seat backs, stopped using them years ago. I sit behind folks that have the new ones and the are not friendly to us. The plastic backs give more when they lean back and the plastic edges will dig in my knees or pinch fingers when clasping my knees.
I like the idea, and it wouldn’t need to be the entire lot just enough to draw people out of the tunnel and provide breathing room.
We had them for the first game, saw the issue, called Learfield and had them removed for the rest of the season. We were not going to do that to the people behind us.
Evy suggested some sort of roof way back in the 1950s, about a decade before the first domed stadium opened (Houston Astrodome, 1965).Retractable roof. Got it.
It used to be even worse at Kinnick. I believe they widened each of the bleacher seats by 2" back in 2005/2006 so prior to that seating was extremely cramped. The seat widening was largely responsible for Kinnick's capacity dropping under 70,000. I would welcome wider seats going forward but it would cause an additional drop in capacity.
I'm 6' 5" and they hit mine. Depends who sits in them though. First couple games were smaller people then a larger couple started using them and the trouble began.
It is closed already yes. Police park there and the opposing team buses pick up team there. Not sure when it reopens post game, but that street gets closed pregame. We walk right up the middle of it to get to our gate.
I think ambulances go in at next street east. Just not sure how quick the reopen it post game. Usually see opposing team buses lined up on it waiting for players, so maybe when they depart they reopen.
Yeah the guy ahead of me doesn't like my knees cracking the back of his head. I swear when I look down his head is between my knees
. Aisle only seat to stretch the legs.
I rode the train once and waiting in line can take hour(s).
