The renovation of the University of Iowa historic Kinnick Stadium is nearing completione…so let’s celebrate!
A collectors edition souvenir button and t-shirt commemorating the rededication of Kinnick Stadium are now available at many retail locations throughout eastern Iowa including the Official Iowa Hawk Shop.
The button is an image of the new Kinnick Stadium shield with the date of the first game to be played in the renovated facility.

Kinnick: The Play at Hancher
The University of Iowa Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has teamed with Riverside Theatre in Iowa City to bring to the stage at the UI’s award-winning Hancher Auditorium Kinnick
.
Kinnick imagines a live, old-time radio broadcast honoring the UI’s lone Heisman Trophy award-winner, Nile Kinnick, shortly after his tragic death. It juxtaposes scenes recreated from Kinnick’s own diaries and letters with extravagant commentaries from sportscasters and gossip columnists of the time interspersed with singing jingles and advertisements as well as images and popular music from the period. The original script is by Riverside Theatre co-founder, Bruce Wheaton.
