We got our tickets to come see the Hawkeyes vs. the Badgers on October 14. First time on the road at Iowa. We'll need tips about what to do in Coralville/Iowa City.

Love the new court! And they moved the court itself so it is not centered in the arena. This accomplishes having one end of the bowl seating close to the court instead of a gap at each end. And then adding some divider curtains and on-court seating on the remaining "open" end. Smart.

Depending on when you get in, there are quite a few golf courses in the area. Backpocket Brewing is near the arena and there are plenty of restaurants between the arena and Coralville strip for a variety of food choices. There are some decent hiking trails near the Coralville reservoir if that is of interest. If it were 25 years ago, I'd probably have better suggestions for you🤣

Definitely go downtown Iowa City...just a 10 min (or less) drive from the Xtream Arena area. It is the heart of the city and the social heart of the campus. Tons of restaurants, bars and shops in a 3-4 block radius. Go to the Ped Mall and just walk around and there are tons of great places. And that is just a block from the Pentacrest, which is where the Old Capitol is. Walk over that way...it's really quite beautiful. Happy to give more specific ideas, depending on what may be looking for. Feel free to send me a personal message if want. Glad you are coming down!

yes, getting a brand new arena is so disrespectful Jay, the arena does not belong to the team, the athletic department, or the university. The athletic department leases the venue for volleyball to utilize the space when hockey is not playing. I promise it is a minimum of 12-15 minutes from Carver Hawkeye. It’s not convenient for freshmen students to attend matches. Can it work? Yes, if the team wins at a high level like women’s basketball did this year. I still know that the staff and players prefer practicing and playing on campus at CH. Pretty sure this venue for VB blows away any 15,000 seat arena with no air conditioner.

Might end up coming down and check out the new arena when UNI plays in the invitational during that last weekend of nonconference. Will be the first time that the Panthers and Hawks face off (outside of spring scrimmages) in 17 years.

Will be the first time that the Panthers and Hawks face off (outside of spring scrimmages) in 17 years. How have those 2 schools not played in 17 years?? Why? Glad to see they are. Also, this pic is impressive. VB has come a long long way. I remember seeing 1 coach and a student trainer back in the day. That’s it. /photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1559935219037257729%7Ctwgr%5E8529b7b82420c4d3502017a97bdba64e6bd06b88%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fvolleytalk.proboards.com%2Fthread%2F79963%2Fiowa-2022%3Fpage%3D43
