Bring The Family Out For Iowa Hawkeye Fun For Kids Day At Kinnick

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for college football Saturdays.

The Iowa Hawkeyes kickoff their 2024 season against Illinois State on Saturday, Aug. 31. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. but the Hawkeyes are still practicing before kicking off the season.

Fans of all ages will have a chance to see their Hawks practice and step inside Kinnick Stadium for the first time in 2024 with Kids' Day at Kinnick this Saturday, Aug. 10.

During the practice, the 2024 Kid Captains will join players on the field for photos following an exclusive “inside look” at Kinnick Stadium. The Kid Captain program, a partnership between UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the University of Iowa football team since 2009, features the inspiring stories of 12 current and former patients throughout the football season.
