Iowa fans earned a strong reputation at bowl games with large travel rolls. Officials note repeat turnout and jackets visible in away venues, citing nearly 10,000 tickets sold for the 1996 Alamo Bowl and about 8,000 in 1993 at the Alamodome.

Cedar Rapids plans to raise funds for a RiverRun redevelopment along the Cedar River with a 28 million city and 10 million county commitment. A 25 million Vision Iowa grant is sought to spur pools and riverfront work, with voter approval possible by 2004 and a potential 1 percent local option tax ending this year in most areas.
Citizens attend the fifth of seven RiverRun sessions on redeveloping 350 acres south of downtown for the Czech Village area. The plan seeks a 25 million state Vision town grant and features a costly sports park with white-water rafting and trails at a near closing city landfill site. About 40 percent of the 154 million total cost is to come from private developers drawn by cheap land and tax incentives. Last night’s City Council session hinted at mounting conflict ahead between opponents and supporters.
Lincoln Way Village resident Wait Simmons says RiverRun targets youth while older residents pay. Scott Olson of Skogman Commercial Group argues the council has heard only the dark side and that RiverRun offers attractions for his age group. He warns a community that does nothing dies.
