Grapple on Gridiron - Kinnick setup

[loonhawk]

Sorry - this has more than likely already been posted, but can someone provide a graphic (or description) of where the mat will be located in Kinnick?

Thank you

Probably standing on or close to the mat in this picture. Maybe moved into the end zone some more.

As good a thread as any to ask this. Can the Kinnick scoreboard handle riding time? If not, will they have a clock on the field or will we just have to take their word for it?

Don't know for sure but I would bet this scoreboard can do anything they want it to do.

I mean the main board.

I'm getting pretty excited for this event. Too bad we can't use the 90' circle any more... Imagine how quickly the dual would go with no one going out of bounds!

But that's a pay board...at least this one is free.

This view brings to mind the goal post. From what I hear, they're leaving it up. Since the goal posts in Kinnick are collapsable, I wonder why they don't just put it down for the meet and put it back up for the game. I suppose they'd have to move the mat toward the 50 a little if they put the goal post on the ground, but it wouldn't be much of a move.

Maybe I heard wrong and they're going to put the goal post down for the meet. Anyone have any insights on this? Not a big deal -- just a curiosity.

I hope the goal post is left up, so that after the Hawks win, the crowd will rush the field and tear down the posts and carry it out of the stadium..........

I had heard they will be leaving the goalpost up. The reason why I bought seats on the sideline instead of the EZ.
