Going to be making the trip to Iowa this season as part of my "See all the B1G Stadiums" bucket list. SO far I've been to IU, ttun & Sparty. I now want to enlist the help of my fellow 11w in answering the following:

• Who has been before?
• Whats the best way to get there from Columbus (open to driving if needed)?
• Where are the best places to eat/drink?
• Any hotel suggestions?
• Any way to get cheaper/face value tickets through U of Iowa or am I best served to just go through Stubhub, vivid, etc.?

Thanks in advance for any help! Hope to see a nice sea of scarlet & grey out there in November! GO BUCKS!

Update: Tickets purchased (higher up in section 101), flying into Chicago Friday to spend the day, rental car to get to and from Iowa City. If its an earlier game I'll stay in Iowa City. If it is a later game I'll stay in Chicago Friday. IS IT FOOTBALL SEASON YET!?!?!
