Iowa City residents are mounting a campaign against plans by a Decorah couple to build a house modeled on Kinnick Stadium

Posted: Tue, Aug 16, 2016 9:16 AM

Opposition continues to a plan by Decorah residents Reed and Sandy Carlson to build a nearly 7,500-square-foot replica of Kinnick Stadium as a home in the Manville Heights neighborhood of Iowa City.

Neighbors have started a website, https://nilesaysno.wordpress.com/, which includes an on-line petition drive to get 200 signatures in opposition to the plan.

The website also includes a way for residents to get yard signs to post in the neighborhood.  Already 126 people have signed the petition drive and the Iowa City Press-Citizen reports yard signs went up over the weekend.
An appeal filed by neighbors with the Iowa City Board of Adjustment will be discussed at 5:15 p.m. September 14th.
