Iconic water tower overlooking Kinnick Stadium to be torn down

The good news for those of you sustained by water: A newer, bigger water tower will replace it … northwest of the football practice fields.

I am so very sorry to read about the loss of your, um, water tower.

Thoughts and prayers to all during this difficult time

All this is moot as the water tower will be coming down anyway to make room for more UIHC projects.

Tigerhawk painting on water tower will start....

Well, probably never because it's been hard for Hawk fans to see their dreams come true, lately. BUT in the good news department, the 12Saturdays podcast is back! And you can get your fill of the fan perspective on this season, why it is a legacy definfer for KF and other fun stuff HERE or by...

Welp, looks like we need to meet @Mr_Galmaster at fight bar and take turns kicking him in the nuts. He did this. He ruined our fun.

Probably not going to happen-from BB forum

Many of us come to this forum to escape from the divisive nonsense but now, like everywhere else, it is unescapable so as with many non political forums, I am done. Goodbye! Its generally been a good fifteen year run but the end is here.

Now that those poor kids will have no water to drink?
Who knows?

A cool/attractive building in that space will look better than a very utilitarian water tower, even with a Tiger Hawk on it. Come at me.

The possibilities of the new tower are endless. Make it football shaped with the tiger hawk on the football. Or...

No way that is the first time it was discussed. It had to be much earlier than that.

So you’re saying that the chances are slim that we can convince @Mr_Galmaster to return and get beat up?? Weak.

What would be so bad about that? When I was a kid we we always stopped at the corn phallus while driving through South Dakota.

Why do you think they let it be painted? It was an early thought at the time, but the plan by the time they painted it was to eventually tear it down.

The Fieldhouse will also be torn down in the coming years as part of the broader plan.
