21 Jaw-Dropping College Stadiums That Put Pro Arenas to Shame

21. Kinnick Stadium (University of Iowa) – Iowa City, Iowa

What Kinnick Stadium may lack in flash, it more than makes up for in heart—and one unforgettable tradition. Home to the Iowa Hawkeyes, the stadium’s most iconic moment comes at the end of the first quarter, when the entire crowd turns to wave at the children watching from the adjacent children’s hospital. It’s one of the most emotional and unifying moments in sports. Beyond the tradition, Kinnick has invested heavily in fan experience, adding club seating, upgraded concourses, and improved audio-visual systems. With a capacity of over 70,000, it’s a loud, proud, and deeply meaningful place to watch a game.
