OWI check points

[NotMyKid]

Got this in an email this morning don't know how true it is or if they will be doing it every game but I thought I would share.

Better fucking safe then sorry:

The ICPD made the UI aware of the OWI Checkpoints it will have setup for the 2010 season in accordance with their effort to crackdown on tailgating. Here is the list so far:


1. Park Road – they will be randomly pulling cars into the Hancher Parking Lot
2. Burlington St – at the Power Plant just over the bridge heading east
3. Melrose Ave – University Club parking lot

Go down Myrtle Street or Newton if you are headed East or South.

Going west head by the arena and out on to 2nd Avenue.

Just have a D.D.

I know it sucks to have someone not drinking...but one run-in with the IC PD was enough for me.

UI Police announce safety checkpoints for football season

University of Iowa Police today announced the location of safety checkpoints for home games of the Hawkeye football team this season.

Random safety checks will be conducted at the following locations:

* Entrance to Hancher Auditorium, off Park Road.
* Power Plant area on West Burlington and Front Streets.
* University Athletic Club on Melrose Avenue.

Additionally this Saturday, the UI will set up an O.W.I. enforcement area on Melrose Avenue between South Grand Avenue and the UI College of Law’s Boyd Law Building.

UI Police say their goal in stepping up enforcement this football season is to ensure that people who drink do so safely, responsibly and legally, especially if they are operating a motor vehicle.

These efforts are part of the UI’s “Think Before You Drink” campaign. Learn more at
