POINT/COUNTERPOINT THE DAILY IOWAN Which Iowa alum in the NFL is having the best TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2011 rookie season? 5 Hawks’ ‘Old Barn’ bids adieu By TORK MASON [email protected]

The University of Iowa’s Field House is like an aging star — Michael Jordan with the Washington Wizards, say,or Larry Bird with a back that had deserted him, or Willie Mays stumbling, trying to make an outfield catch with the Mets. Situated east of Kinnick Stadium, the Field House isn’t what it once was. But it has left fans and athletes with memories of past greatness. The Field House was considered state- of-the art when it opened in 1927. There was “no finer or larger building of its kind … in the world,” according to the dedica- tion program published on Jan. 13, 1927. It housed what was believed to be the world’s largest competition pool at the time. But after eight decades of housing Hawkeye athletics, the Field House’s days are numbered. Once Phase II of the Cam- pus Recreation & Wellness Center is com- pleted — the plan is currently in the design phase and will include the addition of another swimming pool and more bas- ketball courts — the Field House will bid adieu. It will be torn down to make way for expansion of the UI Hospitals and Clinics, said Harry Ostrander, the director of Recreational Services. Many have fond memories of the Field House, but not everyone has shared in the nostalgia. The building’s inadequacies have been well-documented. Steel pillars once obstructed the views of some fans attend- ing basketball games or wrestling match- The Iowa men’s basketball team squares off against Iowa State on Dec. 11, 1978, in the Field House. The Field House staged Iowa’s basketball and wrestling es. The roof leaked. The temperature was events until Carver-Hawkeye Arena was opened in 1983. (Contributed Photo) hard to control. The years have left few features recog- nizable. The arched windows in the Field House pool are still there, but the maligned steel pillars are barely visible from behind newer drywall on the main deck. A part of the arched roof from the armory remains, and a few pictures on the east wall of the main deck show what things used to look like. But the last, most visible remnant of the “old barn” hangs from the west rafters: the Flying Herky logo that once hung over the pull-out bleachers. As the Field House’s time dwindles, an observer might ask: What sort of eulogy could its walls deliver? The atmosphere “It was electric,” said Jim Zabel, the leg- endary voice of Hawkeye athletics for more than 60 years. Zabel provided play-by-play football and basketball coverage for WHO Des Moines from 1947 through 1996, pre- and postgame shows from 1997-2000, and The Iowa gymnastics program still uses the Field House facilities; the basketball and wrestling programs now hosts “Sound Off,” the football relocated to Carver-Hawkeye Arena in 1983.
