Take this with a grain of salt...... but every U of I athletic staff member I've asked has said smirking, "I guess you'll have to see soon." It definitely seems like there will be something different about the playing turf.
There Will be TIGER HAWK at MIDFIELD as new turf installed;67% VOTED CORRECTLY(Voting started Apr 9)

No paint is used with the field turf we have. They just use different color turf and piece it together.
If it's anything OTHER THAN the Mediacom logo I will be extremely disappointed ...
99 to 1 in favor of a Tiger Hawk at midfield says Coach Ferentz..
am I to assume the 1 not in favor is Kirk?

What's the deal with spelling his name wrong? Twice?
On the hawk central radio in an interview with Chad leistikow, Ferentz basically confirmed the logo will be there. I'd say it's a lock at this point
Okay, but did he say anything about the water tower?
Would not be surprised if ANF gets out there somewhere. Farm Bureau paying the $$$$.
There is a kids camp in 6 days. Last year it was mostly in Kinnick. I guess if they are working in there they will have it over on the practice fields. I guess we will see on the 14th.

Wait, won't putting the Tiger Hawk at midfield offend someone? I think the logo could be interpreted as "unnecessarily unfriendly toward non University of Iowa fans." We cannot possibly have that. Iowa already had to put a smile on Herky's face. I propose this:
i heard its gonna be the psycho Tiger Hawk, just to piss fans off!
Will this happen as well?
The missing ten yards on the practice field is one of the reasons our offense has struggled to find the end zone on game day over the years....
Absolutely. I've seen a lot of the big boy stadiums up close and personal (LSU, Stanford, Alabama) and the character and things they have in place to pull fans in is fantastic. We could definitely do better.
The water tower needs to happen.. I don't know who hee haws over painting it.. the money to paint and maintain can easily be accounted fori heard its gonna be the psycho Tiger Hawk, just to piss fans off!

Just asking, but why would they want to do that? With the volunteer work the team does there, and KF and Mary's philanthropic efforts for the Hospital, guess I don't see that.
I would like an outline of the state. After all we are THE University of IOWA. Put a tigerhawk inside it.
When asked about the midfield logo on Hawk Central Kirk said he's not tone deaf. Sounds like he has no problem with it if people want it.
While I believe Barta has done a very credible job as AD, I really cannot figure out why he is treating the fan base like a bunch of 2nd Graders. If you are putting the Tiger Hawk at midfield, or not putting it at midfield, just inform the fans one way or the other. This "Hide the Weenie" tactic is rather insulting to one's intelligence (even at the 2nd Grade Level).
They didn't vote for no logo. They voted that they don't think Iowa will actually put one there.
Iowa fans could be like my wife? Love surprises, but less enthusiastic about hide the weenie.

Wait! A pig hugging a donkey? Either the pigs or the donkeys are going to be offended.
If GB and Co. have proven anything it's their unparalleled ability to drain the excitement and energy out of pretty much anything that gets the fan base buzzing.

Hawk Tex my man........... lighten up a little. He's building a little hype. And it is kind of fun. Pull dem panties out of your rear and have a little fun my friend.
It is well known in this area that the UIHC and the athletic department and especially football, dont have the best of relationships. The hospital wants the land the stadium sits on as well as the frustration of game days and events messing up their normal procedures. They do a good job of putting on a nice public face though.
