IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) – Doctors and nurses from UIHC, along with additional medical students from Carver College of Medicine. UTV’s from Johnson County Ambulance Service in parking lots. An air-conditioned tent.
These are some of the ways the University of Iowa is working to make sure fans are safe this Saturday when temperatures are expected to climb above 90 degrees.
That’s when the Iowa Hawkeyes will play the UMass Minutemen for a sold out game at Kinnick Stadium with a 6:30 p.m. kickoff.
Fans can take in one sealed water bottle of any size when they head into the stadium for the game. Or, they can bring in one empty refillable water bottle.
There are other ways fans can stay cool. That includes an expanded rest area outside the First Aid Station in the southeast corner of the stadium, which will have shelter, cool air and hydration. Or there will be an air-conditioned tent in the Krause Family Plaza. Johnson County Homeland Security & Emergency Management Agency.
And as mentioned before, those UTV’s will be in parking lots ahead of games, allowing for quick response for an emergencies, as well as more medical staff.
