Building Lego Kinnick Stadium

[GoUIowa]

My 10-yr old son just decided on his "rainy day" summer project: build Kinnick Stadium out of Legos. I've seen a real small version (maybe 6"x6" or so), but we're looking to make one maybe a couple feet long. Anyone else ever tried this? If so, post a pic.

He already has a ton of Legos to experiment with, including pieces to make the arched entryways, etc. We're stopping at LegoLand in July, so we'll have a good idea of what extra pieces we'll need by then and all the right colors.

This sounds like a super cool idea. What a great summer project! I hope to see pics of the finished product!

Is he planning on complementing the stadium with a water tower? If so......

Lego does not allow this as it would cause the plastic to melt.

Damn you, Danish iconic company....

Good luck. This is a better project and playing video games!

Is this due to the fact that the Hawks are such a hot team right now?


I'll go back to 6th grade now.

I'm old, take that into consideration.

OP, I'm disappointed that you've not come back with a progress report and a pic of the progress. I'll give you another option to satisfy this board, though:

Pic of wife?

Are you sure you want to see that? I mean, he is working on a lego stadium. Kidding!

Good point, but I was asking more for the sake of the board as a whole. Also, please note that this is his 10 y.o. son's idea, and it does involve Iowa sports. So the guy isn't a total dork!

I'll post pics occasionally as we go along. Not dorks or ugly wives to worry about. We're doing this right, and I think you'll be impressed. We're initially looking at about a 30 to 36 inch long Kinnick.

Not sure if it will be big enough to place figures on the field, but check out Amazon.com and search for - Iowa Hawkeyes NCAA OYO -
Awesomeness!
