US Bank Stadium (indoors) NOT available this weekend for Iowa at Minny 3 game series

[Franisdaman]

MPLS/St Paul had 15 inches of snow over the weekend (Sat Apr 14 and Sun Apr 15); another 3 inches (wet and heavy) is expected Wed, Apr 18.

The series definitely won’t be played at US Bank Stadium (home of the Vikings,always 70 degrees inside, and with a roof). US Bank Stadium already has events going on there this weekend. Looks like Seibert Field is the only option; just hope they can get the 3 games in.

One bright spot: Friday, Sat and Sun look dry with temps in the upper 40's to low 50's.

I've been told they are searching for a reasonable neutral site to play.

interesting; i have no idea what kind of effort it would take to remove all that snow and i think their field is 100 percent turf

EDIT: Siebert has Mondo Sports Turf throughout the entire field, with the exception of clay at the mound and home plate. Seating 1,420.

Iowa City seems like a good location to me. Weather is supposed to be sunny and 50's-60's. Who cares where at this point, lets just get the games in.

The field won't be ready for Tues Apr 17; what about Friday Apr 20?
