How Small Are We?

To give you an idea of the approximate size of University Heights compared to our neighbor to the east, north and west, namely the University of Iowa, here is a tidbit from the online version of the Cedar Rapids Gazette:


UI officials plan new Kinnick scoreboard, sound system

IOWA CITY — Kinnick Stadium will get a new scoreboard and sound system under a University of Iowa proposal that will go to the state Board of Regents next week. UI officials want to purchase a new video display and sound system for Kinnick from Daktronics, Inc., at a cost of up to $4.5 million, with the total cost of the purchase and installation of the system, equipment and infrastructure needs for installation not to exceed $8 million, according to meeting information released Thursday.

The UI is spending 4.5 million to buy a scoreboard. The FY 2014 University Heights municipalbudget approved at our March city council meeting totals $1.16 million.
