35 Must-See Stops on the Most Legendary Football Stadium Road Trip
32. Kinnick Stadium – The Wave That Moves a Nation (Iowa City, Iowa)
Small-town charm meets national tradition at Kinnick Stadium, where the Iowa Hawkeyes play before a devoted sea of black and gold. But the real magic? Every game, at the end of the first quarter, the entire crowd turns to wave at the children watching from the nearby Stead Family Children’s Hospital. It's become one of the most emotional traditions in all of sports—one that transcends rivalries and records. Add in a rowdy student section, punishing Big Ten matchups, and crisp autumn air, and you’ve got a stadium experience that’s as heartfelt as it is fierce. Home of: Iowa Hawkeyes (NCAA)
