25 Bucket-List College Stadiums to Visit Before You Die
23. Kinnick Stadium – University of Iowa

While Kinnick offers a tough, old-school Big Ten football atmosphere, it’s a unique tradition that places it firmly on the bucket list: "The Wave." At the end of the first quarter, nearly 70,000 fans collectively turn and wave to the patients watching from the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, which overlooks the stadium.1 It's a profoundly moving moment of unity and compassion that transcends sports, showcasing the best of the college football community. Experiencing this heartwarming tradition amidst the passionate Hawkeye crowd is truly special.
