Good morning –

Due to University of Iowa football games, we close some of the roads around the stadium in Iowa City, IA. Since these events are in the future, I was hoping you could schedule these road closures.

Thanks Geoff! We’ve set closures based on the best available information posted. I’ve worked with Shawn with the Event Management office in the past. If you wish I can reach out to you directly regarding any questions, but the plan is to have closures set up and ready this week to set the pattern to replicate from week to week as kickoff times are announced (so we have more accurate timing).

Any new areas of concern for ingress/egress?

Great to hear, thank you! I was unaware that Shawn had reached out. I’ve been hitting up all the map/navigation apps trying to get on top of it. My team works in the streets for these games, so anything helps! You can certainly reach out with questions! Thanks again!
