The Big Ten conference is full of difficult road venues to try to win at.
From the Big House in Ann Arbor to the Horseshoe in Columbus to Kinnick Stadium, going on the road and winning in conference play is extremely difficult. Almost every team in the conference has a stadium that tests you and your resolve (sorry, Northwestern).
But, certain stadiums and road environments rise above the rest and stand out to the players in the conference.
Logan Jones, a preseason All-Big Ten center for the Hawkeyes this season, was one of Kirk Ferentz’s representatives at Big Ten media days in Las Vegas. He was asked about which road Big Ten stadium is his favorite to play at.
Jones gave an insightful answer, while also throwing a little jab at one of Iowa’s biggest rivals.
What is Logan Jones’ favorite road Big Ten venue?
When asked about his favorite Big Ten road venue to play at, Jones had this to say.
“I like playing at Nebraska. They have a pretty cool stadium. It’s a close game, it’s a fun game. I like kicking field goals there, too,” Jones said.
Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium can hold over 85,000 screaming and avid Cornhusker fans. It’s one of the toughest places to play in the conference because of how loud it gets there. It makes sense that Jones picked that for his favorite Big Ten road venue. But, it’s the last sentence of his quote that has Hawkeye fans laughing.
While Nebraska leads the all-time series 30-22-3, it’s been Iowa who has dominated the rivalry for the past decade. The Hawkeyes have won 10 of the previous 12 meetings between the two schools, including six in a row at Memorial Stadium.
Two of the last three victories for the Hawkeyes in Lincoln have come on last-second, game-winning field goals, hence the last comment from Jones. It’s a fun jab at one of Iowa’s biggest rivals and should set things up well for the 2025…
