Okay, so I’ve been meaning to share this for a while now, and I finally got around to putting it all together. It’s about figuring out the seating situation at the Iowa Hawkeye football stadium, you know, Kinnick Stadium. I’m a huge Hawkeyes fan, and I’ve been to enough games to know that where you sit can make or break your experience.
So, I started by looking up stuff about the stadium. I found out that Kinnick Stadium is pretty massive, with about 20 miles of bleacher seats. It’s also 79 rows high on each side. They did some upgrades recently, called it the “Kinnick Edge project,” which actually reduced the number of seats to around 69,250. That’s still a lot of people!
Digging Deeper into Seating
Next, I wanted to figure out the best places to sit. I saw that if you’re on the Iowa side, rows 60 and above in sections 123-130 are your best bet to avoid sitting directly in the sun. I’ve been in those lower rows before, and let me tell you, the sun can be brutal during those afternoon games.
- Started with basic stadium info: Found out about the 20 miles of seats, 79 rows, and the recent capacity change.
- Looked for sun-avoidance tips: Discovered that rows 60+ on the Iowa side are ideal for staying out of the direct sunlight.
- Explored seating charts: Used various online seating charts to visualize the layout and understand the different sections.
Visualizing the Stadium
I spent a good chunk of time looking at seating charts online. They have all kinds of them, some are even interactive. These charts are super helpful because you can see exactly where each section is, and some even show you the view from specific seats. I was checking out ones labeled “Kinnick Stadium Seating Chart” and “Kinnick Stadium Seat View” to get a better idea.
Gathering More Intel
I also stumbled upon some other websites like “Living in Iowa City” and “Think Iowa City,” which had some more information about the stadium and the surrounding area. There were pages about support for different sports teams, like football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. There was even a “Give Now” option, which I thought was pretty cool.
Finding Ticket Information
Then I found this website specifically for Kinnick Stadium tickets. It had these interactive seating maps, which were really detailed. I could click around and see the different sections, prices, and all that. I also looked up the address of the stadium, which is 886 Stadium Dr, Iowa City, in case I needed it for my notes.
So, yeah, that’s basically what I did to get a better handle on the seating at Kinnick Stadium. It was a bit of a deep dive, but I think it’s worth it to know where to sit for the best game-day experience. I used a bunch of different online resources, looked at maps, and even jotted down some notes. Now I’m all set for the next football season! Go Hawks!
