Iowa to give Kinnick Stadium $90M overhaul

Sports

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa is moving forward with plans for a $90 million renovation of Kinnick Stadium. The Iowa Board of Regents on Thursday approved the design and financing plan for the project, which will renovate one of the stadium’s end zones.

The enhancements to the north end zone include a second deck for seating, new restrooms, expanded concourses and improved concessions. The project will begin after the 2016 season and be completed prior to the 2019 season.

Kinnick Stadium, which has hosted the Hawkeyes since 1929, last received an overhaul in 2006 that was highlighted by a new press box. The stadium’s capacity is expected to remain around 70,000.

Hawkeye players preview Wisconsin

Sports

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Hawkeyes will try to hang on to the Heartland Trophy this weekend when they host 10th ranked Wisconsin. Despite back-to-back losses to Michigan and Ohio State the Badgers look like the team to beat in the Big Ten West Division race. (click on the left side of the audio bar to hear comments)

That’s Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard. It will be a game featuring teams with similar styles.

That’s senior corner Desmond King. Iowa’s run game has made progress the past two weeks but faces a big challenge against the Badger defense.

That’s junior running back Akrum Wadley.

Chiefs’ Houston returns to practice after knee surgery

Sports

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since having surgery in February to repair a poorly functioning ACL in his left knee. The four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher was expected to do individual drills only as the Chiefs slowly get him back into playing shape, and coach Andy Reid did not say when he might be game-ready.

Reid did say it was a virtual certainty it won’t be Sunday against Oakland. Houston missed several weeks late last season with what the Chiefs thought was a hyperextension of his knee. He came back for the playoffs, but was limited in games against Houston and New England.

Deadline approaching to nominate Heroes of the Heartland

Sports

October 19th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The deadline is fast approaching for you to nominate someone to be honored as a Hero of the Heartland at the Iowa-Nebraska football game November 25th in Iowa City. Iowa Region American Red Cross communications officer, Kara Kelly, says a person can be a hero for several different reasons. “We’re looking for people who really have gone above and beyond.  Maybe there was an extraordinary act of courage,  it could be  a life-saving act, or it could be somebody who had donated countless hours to a special cause,” Kelly says.

The deadline to nominate someone is Monday, October 24th. “We have not received a lot of nominations so far,” according to Kelly, “I think we’re getting drowned out a little bit by a lot of news that’s happening. Whether it’s political, and we’ve had a lot of disaster news lately, both locally and nationally. So, get those nominations in.”

You can make you nomination online. “Go to Red-Cross-Dot-Org-Slash Iowa (redcross.org/iowa). If you do that there’s a picture of Herbie and Herky at the top of the page that you can click on and submit your nomination for the Hy-Vee Heroes game,” Kelly says.

A hero from both Iowa and Nebraska will be honored before a crowd at Kinnick Stadium. “We are looking kind of for those unheralded everyday people who have gone above and beyond,” Kelly says. She says its a privilege for the Red Cross and Hy-Vee and the two schools to honor the heroes.   I think it’s a real treat for those heroes to go out into the middle of the field, whether its at Memorial Stadium or again this year at Kinnick, and be applauded by the thousands of people in the stands. It’s a really fun day.”

People who are nominated to be a hero must be at least 18 years of age and live, work or go to school in either Iowa or Nebraska — but their act of heroism or good deed need not have occurred in either state.
