I believe Pollard is trying for longer runway and airport improvements but, it's a complicated issue. If you want to land big jets there, The airport would need a control tower and staffing for that etc. It's not a simple investment
I think we could just put a room on the top of a 7 story press box at Jack Trice, get a really good pair of binoculars and call it good, no?

I don't really drink
I don't either. let's go for my Vice then. You could spend the extra time sitting in the back of West Street Deli eating an awesome sandwich and slurping down some really good soda. It is the best in town! And WSD is surprisingly rarely packed to the point you need to hurry.

That is not necessarily true. They could land there if it was lengthened but the teams flying in with those larger planes would need to fly on airlines that allow it in their SOP. It would be a CONSIDERABLE investment costing tens of millions and years if not a decade or more of planning.

NC Iowa rural roads are impassable do to the blowing and difting snow. Much worse than Tuesday. It took me 4 hours to move all the snow from my driveway down to the road. Now waiting on the snowplow to clear the road. I'm sure thier waiting for the wind to go down otherwise all their hard work is pointless. I totally understand. The wind was going down at about noon but has come up again so you can't see the neighbors again. Stay safe if your going to the game. I will be listening to John and Eric. GO CYCLONES.

I feel you but, I would bet the FAA would want something better

The NWS said that was going to happen. There would be a lull for a bit in the morning and then things would pick back up in the afternoon. There's a reason the blizzard warning is still on.

I was trying to stay home as I could in order to get year end stuff done for my clients.

Heading out now

Feels like the game is being delayed like a flight…. Delay delay delay delay and then finally canceled.

They landed. I'm not sure why there would be a rush to have the game at 6 at this point. Start it at 7:15 and give both teams the best chance at a normal pregame.
