"'GO, HAWKS!' -- Just Not in My Yard

The Athletic Department needs to put at least a half-dozen porta-potties along Melrose Court, from its intersection with Melrose Avenue to the barricade at the intersections of Melrose Court, Myrtle Avenue and Greenwood Drive.

It's Homecoming.

For some football fans Iowa City is home. For others a second home. For still others it's just the home of Kinnick Stadium.

Unfortunately, apparently some fans came from a place where "home" means you can pee on your neighbors' lawns whenever you want.

Public urination is a real problem in the residential neighborhood visited by 70,000 football fans on fall Saturdays.

It's only fair that those profiting from this mob should pay the costs of dealing with the externalities that it creates.
