Home Sweet (Stadium) Home Print
Thursday, October 13 2016

A neighborhood association is suing the Iowa City Board of Adjustment to stop construction of a house that is modeled after the University of Iowa's football stadium, Kinnick Stadium.

The lawsuit was filed by the Neighbors of Manville Heights Association and requests the Board to block construction of the home. Neighbors have expressed concern about the home's size, potential for big parties and increased traffic. According to the plans submitted to the Board, the house will include stadium seating, stadium-style restrooms, a mock press box, a courtyard and several bedrooms.

The Board was split 2-2 to allow construction to go forward.
