I just feel like it’s too big of a risk to play on a court outside in October? Condensation issues I am sure is the reason why.
May not be wise to play outdoor game in October?

Early but right now it looks to be mild and dry. Temps in the mid 60's with a 10% chance of precip.
I've been wondering what they're going to do for a floor. Surely they wouldn't bring the CHA floor over. Going to guess that somewhere rental synthetic floors are available.
I played outside in the snow when I was a kid
Condensation is not an issue. The court surface is roughly the same temperature as the outside. The only time condensate would form would be if the court was placed over a very cold surface like ice and the surface temp dropped below the dewpoint. This has occurred at the United Center where the Bulls and Hawks share the same facility as well as other venues that do the same. Drying out the inside air is the solution on those situations.
Addressing Surface Condensation in Multipurpose Arenas
Now commonplace, multipurpose arenas make sense for a variety of reasons, but challenges can arise once a porous slab of maple, which is naturally sensitive to temperature and humidity, is placed over ice.

Sure but then only 13500+ fans of the 55,000 or so sold tickets get into the game.
Me too! We would rotate balls as they froze up and you couldn't dribble them...in the house they went to warm up and out came another one! Those were the days.
PS. I also walked uphill, both ways, to school.

My understanding is that two different tickets were sold. One ticket for a lower price was for Kinnick only and another at a higher price was for Kinnick or Carver if the game is moved.
Yes that is correct. BUT the whole idea for this was to set the all time record for attendance at a womens game which is 29000+, and that only happens if they play in Kinnick, so I'm sure they will do their best to make that happen.
Would would cut the fingers off of those brown cotton gloves and play winter basketball on the driveway also! Good memories!
In my day we didn't even have fingers, we cut those off too sissy!
Did this!!! Did you also get some cheap floodlights and an extension cord since it got dark at like 3 in the winter?Me too! We would rotate balls as they froze up and you couldn't dribble them...in the house they went to warm up and out came another one! Those were the days.

We also mowed a baseball field into the empty field at the nearby park.
Kids today suck. 😊
The ticket office told me today that they were going to decide Thursday morning and we will all get a email.
Could you imagine the outrage if Clarke blew out her knee?
