Neighbors are now suing Iowa City to block plans for a home modeled after Kinnick Stadium. 
 
 The Neighbors of Manville Heights Association filed a lawsuit against the Iowa City Board of Adjustment Wednesday. It asks a judge for an injunction to block construction of the home and repeal the city's building permit for it. 
 
 A Decorah couple wants to build the home modeled after Kinnick Stadium on Lusk Avenue. The plans include stadium seating, stadium-style restrooms, a courtyard and several bedrooms. 
 
 Neighbors protested during several hearings on the request for a building permit. Most neighbors worried the home would become a party house and create traffic and safety issues. They argued it did not fit standards for a single-family home. 
 
 The Board of Adjustment, however, granted the permit saying the home met all of the city's guidelines. 
 
 No date is set for a hearing on the lawsuit.
– Iowa City residents are suing to stop a couple from building a 7,500-square-foot home that's also a replica of Kinnick Stadium, home of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, the AP reports. The home would feature brick siding and a press box just like the actual football stadium. According to the Gazette, it would also have a sports court, an industrial kitchen, stadium-style men's and women's restrooms, and a home theater. Other planned features include stadium seating and a courtyard, KCRG reports. After three meetings and 12 hours of hearings, the Iowa City Board of Adjustment approved plans for the home Sept. 30, ruling that it met city guidelines. On Wednesday, the Neighbors of Manville Heights Association sued the board. The group wants a judge to stop construction on the home and repeal the building permit. During public hearings, neighbors complained that the stadium replica would be more of an entertainment venue than a house. They said they worried about increased traffic, safety risks, parties, and more. The couple hoping to build the home, who live more than 100 miles away in Decorah, say they will use it for family gatherings. A hearing for the lawsuit hasn't been set.
