You can thank that fucking douchebag Dave Witvoet and his crew for that gift. Their calls and non-calls were equally terrible, hence the disparity above, and the result in the books.
"However, if you see a flood of penalties from Michigan it might have a real impact on the game."
Ummm, gee, ya think? Michigan and its fans clearly aren't accustomed to getting the short end of the stick in this area. Your outrage after the 2005 Alamo Bowl illustrates my point well. Getting shafted like that vs. a higher profile program happens almost annually to programs like Iowa (again, see Michigan 2005), who all too often need to beat not just the other team, but the stripes as well.
Here's to a curbstomping so nasty it won't matter, a la 2002 - GO HAWKS
Decent advice from iawolve on parking at the softball field, but I would only go there if you need your vehicle to tailgate. When you leave, don't follow the flow of traffic up Hwy 6 / 2nd St to I-80. Instead, go straight on Hawkins Dr / Rocky Shore Dr across Hwy 6 / 2nd St. Follow this street until it dead ends at Dubuque St. Take a left on Dubuque St - it takes you right to I-80.
If you're really serious about hitting the road right after the game (and I suspect the result will only strengthen this resolve ; ) ), and you don't need your vehicle to tailgate, park on the EAST side of campus - at the IMU Ramp or one of the ramps (parking garages are ramps in Iowa parlance, much like a shopping bag of any sort is a sack) downtown. It's solid tailgating for at least a quarter mile radius around Kinnick so you can find something no problem or just roam.
Motor out of Kinnick right after the game, and you should make it back to your vehicle in less than 20 minutes. From there, head east on any street to Governor St and take a left. Governor St merges into Dodge St and takes you to I-80.
Either way you'll save a lot of time - the latter route is especially painless. Good luck and drive safely. GO HAWKS
Shakers, it's solid tailgating for about a quarter mile around Kinnick - they're all good spots. You can also walk down the street with drinks - as a matter of policy, open container is not enforced. Try not to laugh too hard at the Per-Mar carnies security guards.
