It's getting close to opening week-end for college football. A good reminder for you fans to dress according to weather conditions. Early games always come to mind when hot days are still the norm. When attending the early Hawkeye games, it amazes me how many loyal fans wear lots of Black along with the Gold on a late August or early Setember game. Especially if they are sitting on the east or north sides of the stadium right into the sun. At least the blue-bloods on the west side get the luxury of some shade with the now gigantic press box. Just dress smart.
Years ago, I took my oldest grandson to his first Hawkeye game in Iowa City. We left from Marshalltown in the morning and it was cool, over-cast, and drizzling. He wore this really snazzy, ALL BLACK, slick, athletic looking outfit and was pumped for the big day with Grandpa.
We stopped uptown, Marshalltown, for an early pastry at a local bakery, later a quick breakfast at a eatery along highway 6 in Amana. On to the game and a Hawkeye victory. At half-time the sun came out in full force. All of a sudden I heard; "Grandpa I'm burning up." Good thing he was young and looked good when he took his top off and watched the remainder of the game topless! Grandpa should have brought that white T-shirt along.
