UI Athletics Welcomes Mullets as Presenting Sponsor of the New Tigerhawk Beer Garden

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa Athletics announced on Tuesday that Mullets will serve as the presenting sponsor of the new Tigerhawk Beer Garden, an exciting pregame destination located in Krause Family Plaza on the south side of Kinnick Stadium.

Designed to elevate the pregame atmosphere, the reimagined space gives fans a vibrant location to gather, enjoy food and drinks, pose for photo opportunities, shop for Hawkeye merchandise, and take in live music and entertainment. The beer garden also sits directly along the route of the Hawk Walk, allowing fans to cheer on the Hawkeye football team as they arrive at Kinnick Stadium approximately two hours prior to kickoff.

"We wanted to create a place where Hawkeye fans can come together, enjoy great food and beverages, experience Hawkeye traditions and celebrate gameday,” said Matt Henderson, Deputy Director of University of Iowa Athletics, External Relations. "The Tigerhawk Beer Garden gives fans another way to experience the excitement surrounding Kinnick Stadium, and having a great local franchise such as Mullets to be the presenting sponsor makes it even more special."

The Tigerhawk Beer Garden is free and open to the public; no game ticket is required to enter the space. The area will open approximately 3 to 4 hours prior to kickoff depending on game timing, serving as a hub of pregame activity for the entire Hawkeye community.

Presented by Mullets, the Tigerhawk Beer Garden will feature water, soft drinks, traditional beers, seltzers and Mullets' famous Bloody Marys. In addition, fans can enjoy Mullets' official Bloody Mary mix at select concession locations inside Kinnick Stadium throughout the season.

For Mullets, the partnership represents an opportunity to bring the restaurant's personality and game-day experience directly into the heart of the Hawkeye community. 

With its combination of football, food, beverages, music and Hawkeye spirit, the Tigerhawk Beer Garden presented by Mullets is poised to become a new game-day tradition in Iowa City.  Additional details regarding operating hours, entertainment schedules and game day programming will be announced prior to each home game.
