Some universities offer the large city atmosphere.
Others offer the college town experience. The University of Iowa is uniquely situated to offer student-athletes the very best of both of these different worlds. Once the state capital, Iowa City is considered one of the truly great college towns in America. The city swells with excitement on football Saturdays when more than 70,000 Hawkeye fans from across the Midwest converge on Kinnick Stadium to tailgate and cheer the Hawkeyes to another victory. Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the home of Iowa basketball with a seating capacity of 15,500, is the site of performances and concerts by some of the more popular entertainers and musicians.
