[NU Sports] Iowa?

[Jonathan Hodges]

As has been documented at various places online, including Lake The Posts,
NU has been responding to many of the gameday issues, some documented below:

- concessions: reportedly, they have not run out of hot dogs this season.
- traffic: the university will be conducting a traffic survey tomorrow,
using spotters in the air and on the ground.  This work will go towards
future gameday traffic flow improvements and/or the athletics facilities
study that is currently ongoing.
- restrooms: hopefully this is something that will be addressed during the
facilities upgrade sometime within the short term future.  Until then, I
usually go during the 2nd TV timeout or later in a given quarter, since the
lines are way too long at the quarters and especially at halftime.
- parking: everyone knows there is no parking at the stadium unless you have
a pass.  Otherwise I've never had a problem finding a spot somewhere on
campus for free.  Yes, you have to arrive ahead of time and wait for the
shuttle, but it's hard to complain about free parking.
- Iowa fans: not much you can do about them except win.  Hopefully Fitz can
repeat this year what he has done the past 2 seasons.
- your pessimism: not much I can do about that either, but I'll always root
for the 'Cats to win and hope for a victory.

Go 'Cats!!!
