2024 Season Updates

Beware of Fraudulent Tickets:
The UI Athletic Ticket Office is anticipating high demand and fraudulent ticket activity for the remaining football games. Fans should be aware of potential scams and always purchase from a guaranteed source. The UI Athletic Ticket Office will only be able to assist purchases made through The UI Athletic Ticket Office or SeatGeek, our official secondary ticket partner.

Security Enhancements at All Entrance Gates:
Beginning this season, all gates into Kinnick Stadium will be equipped with the latest technology in walk-through metal detectors that guests will need to pass through for entry. Fans will not need to empty their pockets or belongings unless instructed by stadium security. Please note that steel-toed boots and hard eyeglasses cases can set off the sensors, leave those items behind if possible. The clear bag policy remains in effect.

Best Crowd Management:
UI Athletics recently announced a new partnership with Best Crowd Management. BEST will provide event services at Kinnick Stadium and other UI Athletics facilities. BEST is prepared to assist with customer service, ticket scanning, ushering services and various security roles that contribute to critical crowd management functions.

Concessions:
Our concessionaire, Aramark, has added several new Hawkeye-themed items in the stadium, including a "Herky Hot Dog" (pulled pork and coleslaw) and "Swarm Nachos" (loaded with pulled pork and street corn dip with peppers).

Round Up to Support SWARM:
Fans can support the SWARM Collective's student-athlete NIL experiences by "rounding-up" at the concession stands. At each concession point-of-sale, customers can round-up to support NIL activities. In addition, a portion of each Powerade sold in Kinnick Stadium goes to support the SWARM Collective.

Sensory Accessibility and Inclusion:
As UI Athletics seeks to have Kinnick Stadium certified as Sensory Inclusive by KultureCity, many event staff are undergoing sensory inclusion training. Sensory Bags will be available on a checkout basis at new Guest Services locations located on the concourses at each of the four corners of Kinnick Stadium. The packs provide individuals in need with gadgets and sensory experiences to help them regulate their sensory experiences and improve their overall sense of well-being.
