This New Field Is Stupid

PrintAs you might recall, Iowa is replacing the Legendary Kinnick Stadium* field after last year's total debacle of an ISU game. Well, we're happy to announce that Iowa has released the new field design, and here it is!
Okay, that's not true. I mean, yes, that is Kinnick, but they're not going full minimalist. That would just piss referees off.
No, there is going to be a new field design. Doubtless, the UI took special notice of BHGP's Design Roundtable and instituted our suggested changes, namely a pink sideline for the visitors, yes?
Sorry, but this is boring. Once again, there's nothing at midfield. The end zones look like the edges of the basketball court. And we'll just assume that we can chalk up the alternating colors between yard lines to artistic license and that Iowa isn't actually going two-tone on the field.
But criticism's nothing if it's not constructive. To that end, BHGP gladly presents our final plan for redesigning the field... the right way.

YEAH! Check that action out! We finally get a logo at midfield, a little excitement in the end zones, and even though you can't see it without clicking on the picture, yes, we included the pink sideline. This is going to be awesome, just like it says on the field. Barta, make this happen and all is forgiven.
*We might have to just start calling it LKS to save ourselves some time. Kinda weird, since we were pretty sure his name was "Nile," not "Legendary."

You guys get laid?

That's kinda what we're hoping for if the end zone goes in.

The strip club outside state college
is called the End Zone. Not sure if you can get laid there, but you can get a great lap dance.

I swear I've heard both phrases...
Dolph’s probably just confused when he does it. Does the PA guy use both?
I have no idea
I just know that every single University press release I read refers to it as Historic Kinnick Stadium with basically every mention, to the point that it’s become a running joke between my friends and I to always call it that.
I like the endzones, but why nothing at the 50?
And does anyone else think it would be a good idea if they painted a tigerhawk on that hospital watertower? That’s an idea I just came up with all by myself. I should see if I can make some calls up the ladder and get that done.
Don't stop at the Field
I was just at the University of Louisville campus and everything there is fucking black and red. Bridges, sidewalks, street poles, parking lots, and yes water towers. Please make shirt PAINT WATER TOWER BLACK and GOLD!!!!

If you're trying to make a point
It’s generally never a good idea to start your argument with “we should be more like Louisville, Kentucky”
Whenever people talk about painting the watertower
I always think of the “SAVE THE CLOCKTOWER!” lady on Back to the Future.

That pink sideline is more of a magenta, really
and what does that say, in the parentheses? “Stripper pole on our side (baked)”? Or is “a keg”?
I think I prefer the former. Has a very DA U feel to it.

YOU TRY COMING UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE PINK SIDELINES
Up in your tower, always nay-saying!

sorry but I disagree
I think I might do a little research on the top teams and what is in the middle of their field. Im sure the U of I saw that big FAT F in the middle of the U of F swampland and just let out a big fat..ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww like we do everytime we see it. F in the middle of the field. can you get anymore uglier than that. and the fact that most people associates the F word with Florida and its on the middle of the field…along with loser schools illinois and iowa splat putting letters or ever changing new logos in the middle of the fields detoured them away from that faster than you can say there goes another iowa state coach…and was a gentle reminder that nothing is better than some of the junk that clutters the middle of the field.
the fact that ohio state has the O in the middle of the field is part of their tradition just like nothing on our field is part of our tradition. but there is one think I would love to see on the sidelines or inside the sidelines at say the 20 yard line is this….
kinnick stadium
now that WOULD be sweet
