While the University of Iowa appreciates the sentiments expressed by the mayor, his order does not and cannot apply to the University of Iowa. As a state agency, the university must comply with state law and our governing body, the Board of Regents, State of Iowa. The Iowa City mask mandate recently put in place does not apply to Kinnick Stadium and other UI athletics facilities. The University of Iowa strongly encourages the use of face masks, especially when in the classroom and office hours, but it is not required.

I’m going to continue to encourage every student, coach, staff member, and Hawkeye fan to get vaccinated until we can beat this virus. I also strongly encourage fans to wear a mask to Hawkeye Football games this fall.

-Gary Barta, Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair

In order to provide a safe, in-person gameday experience, the University of Iowa Athletic Department will continue to rely on guidance from the Board of Regents, State of Iowa; the Iowa and Johnson County departments of public health; the Big Ten Conference; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At this time, masks are not required for those who have been vaccinated.

TICKET REVOCATION POLICY

The University of Iowa has a long-standing history of promoting good sports-like conduct, appropriate fan behavior and providing an environment that is safe and enjoyable for all events sponsored by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. All spectators who engage in unruly or disruptive behavior, or participate in illegal conduct are subject to ejection from all athletic events. Ticket holders are responsible both for their own conduct and the conduct of those who use their tickets to gain admission to athletic events. This also applies to tickets sold on the unauthorized secondary market (internet auction site, ticket broker, etc.). Ticket holders to all University of Iowa athletic events purchase, hold and use their tickets subject to compliance with the following policy:

LETTER OF WARNING – A letter of warning may be issued by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to any ticket holder whose ticket is used to gain admission by any individual who is subsequently ejected from the event by law enforcement, security or event personnel for any reason. In the case of severe conduct or repeat ejections, the ticket purchaser’s ability to purchase tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked.

REVOCATION OF TICKET(S) – The ticket used by an individual to gain admission to an athletic event may be revoked for the remainder of that current sport season for, but not limited to, any of the following conduct or offenses committed within the confines of any University of Iowa Athletic facility:

• Transport to a health care facility by law enforcement or EMS for incapacitation due to excessive drunkenness or the use of illegal drugs;
• Citation or arrest for throwing objects, resisting arrest/obstruction, battery, public urination or disorderly conduct involving violent or indecent behavior;
• Arrest for any violation of the Code of Iowa.
• Any violation of the Iowa Athletics Fan Code of Conduct Policy.

Any such revocation of ticket(s) will include a refund of the purchase price of the ticket(s) on a pro rata basis for the remaining events included in the ticket package. In the case of repeat revocations, the ticket purchaser’s ability to purchase tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked. Questions concerning this policy should be directed to Marcus Wilson, Senior Associate Director of Athletics at 319-335-9247.
