Earlier this week, the University of Iowa unveiled the brand new renovations of the north end zone of Kinnick Stadium. The $89 million project which gave substantial upgrades to restroom facilities, concessions, and seats, while removing the stadium’s extra seats, which had been used as the Kirkwood Community College student section for the past few seasons.
Late Wednesday afternoon, custodial staff at Kinnick Stadium found substantial flooding in the new north end zone facilities, as well as a small pond covering nearly half the field.
Initially, university officials believed heavy rains in eastern Iowa to be the cause, however, upon further investigation, plumbing issues have been identified to be the primary culprit.
