IOWA CITY, Iowa – Prime time events at historic Kinnick Stadium typically include much more than just a football game. This Saturday is no different. Here’s a short list of some of the many activities scheduled for Friday and Saturday night prior to Iowa’s 7 p.m. date with the Penn State Nittany Lions.
ANF Game Day!
Saturday’s game is the second annual ANF Game Day at Kinnick – a celebration of America’s farmer staged by the UI Athletics Department with the support of the Iowa Farm Bureau. Please consider adding a visit to the ANF Game Day tent inside the Krause Family Plaza during the afternoon. The tent opens at noon and will close at 5:30 p.m. Fans visiting the tent will receive an ANF car cling while supplies last, compete to win ANF merchandise in the ANF Tailgate Toss, and enter to win ANF items autographed by Hayden Fry, Kirk Ferentz, and former Hawkeye Dallas Clark.
Former Hawkeyes like Casey Wiegmann – this year’s ANF Wall of Honor Hawkeye, Robert Gallery, Jared DeVries, Tim Dwight, Brad Banks, and Ed Podolak will be available between 1 and 4:30 p.m. at the ANF Game Day tent to sign autographs. Here’s the full schedule:
ANF Game Day — Autograph Schedule at ANF Game Day Tent
1:00 – 1:30 pm: Jared DeVries/Tim Dwight
2:00 – 2:30 pm: Robert Gallery/Ed Podolak
3:00 – 3:30 pm: Brad Banks/Gary Dolphin
4:00 – 4:30 pm: Casey Wiegmann

Also, fans are reminded to purchase official ANF/FarmStrong merchandise at Herky Locker Room locations. A portion of the proceeds will support the efforts of the Iowa Food Bank Association across the state of Iowa.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. with activities kicking off at 8. The Blowout is an inexpensive and entertaining way to celebrate the start of what promises to be another exciting of college basketball for Fran McCaffery and Lisa Bluder’s Hawkeyes.
