This morning, the city council of Chicago determined that they will rename the city to “Iowa City” on September 1st on occasion of the Iowa-Northern Illinois football game at Soldier Field.

“It just makes sense.” says Chicago mayor Richard Daley. “Financially, and convenience-wise. The process is rather simple. We will just be swapping the road signs in both Iowa and Illinos on I-80W and I-80E to match the proper amount of mileage to go to the respective city.”

It was considered to name the town DeKalb for the fateful day. But Daley said, “Yeah, we just realized we had been hot boxing in the meeting hall for several hours and that this was a bad idea. Does anyone even know where DeKalb is? What the fuck kind of name is DeKalb?!”, he exclaimed.

Tickets have been sold out for the contest for several months, and reportedly the crowd will be mostly Hawkeye supporters. Hardly surprising when you take into consideration the size of fan bases and quality of play displayed by both teams.

Kickoff for the contest is at 2:20 PM, September 1st.
