As many know...at home games the team arrives by bus from their night stay in Cedar Rapids. They are met by hundreds of fans on the south side of Kinnick Stadium off Melrose Avenue. In what has become a tradition that started in 2005, Iowa fans line the walk the players take to enter the stadium. This tradition is similar to the walk by other teams around the nation through campus to the stadium. However Iowa's is from the bus parked along Melrose, past the Nile Kinnick Statue where players, staff and coaches pat the bronze helmet at his feet before entering the stadium that bears his name.
Attached are photos of the walk prior to this year's Iowa - Iowa State game.
