Great time at the Airliner downtown on Friday night, after 2 hours the noise gets to be a bit much, great cupcakes at Molly's Cup Cakes 2 doors down from Airliner
It's great to see a University of Iowa football game here. It does get very crowded so come early. Bring layers of clothes as it can go from cold to hot to windy to rainy all during one football game.
There is no better football destination on a fall day in Iowa. The stadium and area around it becomes a massive black and gold party every home game Saturday. The Big Ten provides great football action, the seats are very close to the field, and the local fans are as into the game as any in the country.
Great place, energetic fans. I was there for media coverage and I will say that they have VERY tight sidelines. So if you are a member of the media, be ready to be walking on your tip toes.
Beautiful stadium. You are close to the action with the small sidelines. Food service not so hot - literally - food was lukewarm - but we didn't go for the food. Would have been nice to have the snow and ice cleared off our seat beforehand so we didn't have to chip it off with our keys but hey, it was all part of the experience!
We were there for the Iowa v Iowa State game as a family divided. This is a great, old, cool traditional stadium. Know that if you have seats way up, you will be walking up that many stairs and it is high up. There also was not a great selection of food and they don't serve beer (which I know some college stadiums don't). It is impossible to get a cab after a game and the traffic was a terrible mess, but that's not uncommon with stadiums built smack in the middle of neighborhoods like this one. We had a great time and my dad and I were happy to see Iowa State win which did not make most of the people there happy. Fun place with a really great college football feel.
If you're a college football fan and haven't been to Kinnick Stadium, you are missing out. The tailgating, iconic brick renovation, and rabid fans make for an unforgettable football experience.
Nestled in the heart of the U of I campus lies the stadium. It is a smaller venue but loud. Visitor sections are not so good where before much better. To walk up Riverside Drive and Myrtle street to get to Melrose Court thus the stadium it is uphill both ways. hawks fans are generally friendly as long as we win Go Hawks
Hawkeye football + Iowa = God's country.Most beautiful place on earth! Most amazing, considerate, dedicated fans in all of the B1G
Nile Kinnick Stadium for the University of Iowa is named in honor of the former Hawkeye halfback and 1939 Heisman Trophy winner. It is the only stadium in America currently named for a Heisman Trophy winner. It is a great place to visit for the history as well as the tradition of great football and fans. (Nile won the 1939 Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Trophy (nation's most outstanding football player), was a consensus all-American in 1939, all-Big Ten in 1939, named to numerous All-American teams in 1939, and as Iowa's and Big Ten's Most Valuable Player in 1939. He was the No. 1 Draft Pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1939. His No. 24 is one of two Iowa football numbers retired.
