I don't see the point in requiring people to stick around after the game. I assume it's done for everybody else so have set up in the driving areas of the lot. But c'mon.

I know it is hard to believe, but there are actually people out there that want to spend more time in Iowa than the absolutely have to.

It's not requiring them to stay after the game for four hours. They only have up to four hours to hang out afterward before they get out. At least that's how I'm reading it. So, for an 11 am kick, you'd have to be out earlier than you'd probably want to be, especially if it were a gorgeous fall Saturday. (Not doing the math because NO MATH!!)

This is correct. It's just a way to clear everyone out efficiently and not let anything get too out of hand.

Generally for an 11 am kick, it would be nice to have a little longer, especially with a short drive.

Finally hit 100k on The Fifth. It's a 1999, I bought it in 2001 with 20K on it. Thank you, short work commutes.

Named "The Fifth" for "Brenthoven's Fifth" (the pun on Beethoven). She's also known as "Rosie" after the AC/DC song, "Whole Lotta Rosie." :)

Got it.

My first vehicle when I turned 16 was a 1971 toyota land cruiser. Maroon with black tinted windows. 33" tires and a lift kit. Cruising in the summer with no top nor doors with Ratt cranked on the stereo. What I wouldn't give to go back to those days..............

First car: 1989 Corsica (4CYL): The Deadmobile, due to the giant "Steal Your Face" logo handpainted on the hood. Sold that to my bro for $100 when it hit 200K (it was the car both of us learned to drive on so many hard miles on it, and I got my:

Second car: 1990 Corsica (6CYL): The Blue Torpedo (it was sky blue). That got broken into after a couple years of having it, and the one-piece dashboard was wrecked, couldn't find a new one at any junkyard, so sold that to a mechanic friend of my bro's for $500 (had about 220K on it). Then I bought The Fifth.

Good evening Lodge. Relaxing in my room. Long travel day today. I drove from the San Fran airport to our office in Walnut Creek. Not sure if the GPS in my phone detected traffic somewhere but the route I took had me exiting off the freeway and cutting thru a part of Oakland to get on another freeway. Weird. I had to drive to the hotel where our athlete is staying. She was supposed to be staying at this hotel but the PR agency booked too late and this hotel was sold out. I had her head shots shipped here so I had to drop them off at her hotel about a mile away. And saw an In-N-Out Burger across from her hotel. Score!

Watching hockey now. The "late" game is on and it's only 7:15!

So today is my dad's 80th birthday. He is at the Red Sox game. My mom is with him because I'm here in California. Anyway, I arranged to have a Happy Birthday message put on the scoreboard. I hope the see it! I saw on Facebook a friend of the family was at the game and posted and she posted back that she saw it so at least I know they put it up there. I also emailed his season ticket account manager that he was going to be there, that he's been a season ticket holder for 44 years and it's his 80th birthday and she said she would put a little gift bag together for him. I hope she did! I will call them tomorrow to see what happened.

right, and I'm ok with that, I thought we were talking about late night game issues.
