    Well under the cirmstances he didn't have much choice. He argued with the usher and he probably was not the most sober on top of it so best to not get too worked up and just figure something out. It was complete BS at the time but getting kicked out of the Iowa game would have sucked.

    I guess I would have just walked over to where my seat number is and squeezed in, if someone was already there, I would make them move.

    They mailed an insert with the season ticket renewals about the seatback/cushion. If memory serves, ordering them before August it's $30 for the season, after the deadline it goes to $45.

    Those metal seats probably are great conductors of electricity....

    I would rather see a red brick and stone fasad put on the stadium.

    Re: Seat backs for Jack Trice

    I agree. Just because I'm smaller doesn't mean a big person next to me can take part of the seat I paid for!

    My suggestion had nothing to do with the comfortability of the stadium. If I'm not standing up, I'm on the edge of my seat constantly screaming and surveying the field. Adding seat backs to the entire stadium will get rid of that crappy cement look you see when you stare at the empty seats... which is around 358 days out of the year for 3 hours...right?

    I hope to never see that. I want the architecture consistent with the Iowa State Center. Concrete is our thing. It can be made to look good (C.Y. is an awesome building!) but Trice needs work. I honestly think the new fencing will go a long way in improving the overall stadium look, along with the new concourses.

    Re: Seat backs for Jack Trice

    Actually, thinking about it more, no one should need seatbacks because everyone should be standing the whole time!

    Re: Seat backs for Jack Trice

    Last year, I had the same problem. My wife and I got to our seats early (as usual) and the 3 seats next to me were empty until halfway through the first quarter. Then, these 3 smoking-hot drunk chicks finally took these seats. This prompted my wife and I to change seats as a) The one sitting next to me couldn't stay in her seat, and b) Divorce is expensive as hell.

    If looks could kill....

    As long as I have a lap, smoking-hot chicks always have a place to sit.
