message: Until 1972, Kinnick Stadium was known as Iowa Stadium, not Iowa Field. Iowa Field was the university's previous football venue and was located on the east bank of the Iowa River from 1890 through 1928. There is a separate entry with linked pictures verifying its location in Wikipedia for Iowa Field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_Field).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcpetjstn (talk • contribs) 14:44, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

message: There are no permanent lights for night games.  Musco lighting still brings in portable light trucks for night games.  They do have permanent supports for the lights on the top of the new press box.  The lights for the top of the press box are brought in by Musco and lifted onto the pressbox with cranes.  They are removed shortly after the night game.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djwohls (talk • contribs) 01:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
