What do you guys think are the chances of the grass student lot being open? I'm thinking it'll be closed, but some of my buddies are much more optimistic..

It will be open. Rain amounts do not look to be all that high right now, and the ground is about as dry/hard as it can be right now. At worst, they would prohibit buses and campers.

In marshall county yes. In urban Iowa no, very few do.

Really? Born and raised in the city (and suburbs) and most people had an SUV with 4WD in case the roads got bad. Ya know, being Iowa and all.

This kind of reminds me of the panic and stupid driving that accompanies the first measureable snow fall of the season.

Not sure where you guys are getting reports of moving it to the UNI dome, the Barn, etc. Just officially announced that they are assuming a direct tornado hit so they will be playing it in Oz. Fans may be a bit late getting there depending on the time of the tornado.

This is the only weather forecast people should worry about.

Moral of the story....it has been done before.

The Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech game this weekend is a makeup for their August game that was cancelled by the hurricane

In Des Moines, if there's a chance of snow, the grocery stores will be PACKED that evening. I think that the TV channels get a commission on those days.
