I think it's fair to say it would be better if the opposing team and students didn't cross paths in a field storm and not have that labeled as an over-reaction. IDK if it's worth moving them or not, that's for some risk-assessment person in the AD to decide, but I can see why they would want to change that up.
I've been pro-moving the students since ISU switched sides of the field for this exact reason.
I just don't want the students to be moved into my section (section 1) because my kids like to go on the hillsides to play during the game.
To be honest, my favorite option is to put the students in 23-28 and 14-19 around the Sukup End Zone seats. Think you could get some really nice chants going (e.g. Cyclone Power) as well as volume by having them on both sides of the field. Just seems more logistically challenging to do that.
