Old Iowa Field, the "stadium" before Kinnick.

I see that space today and was always amazed that the stadium was once there. East stands over the railroad. Corner of the west stands dangling over the river. Adjacent baseball field where EPB sits now.

If you were coming down from Cedar Rapids, the Crandic was literally right there to drop you off right in front of the stadium, hell--right inside the stadium.

Very powerful, moving picture.

But an equally compelling and insane backstory! Won't give it away, but everything isn't as it seems in the pic.

That's something, thanks.

This is not really famous, but in my opinion this is the greatest sports photograph of all time.
