Same as Any other away game? I’ve been to several in the big 12 and I’ve always had fairly good interactions and never had others want to fight me in the stadium because I didn’t wave long enough.
Attending my first Cy Hawk game in Iowa City. What do i need to know/ be aware of?
- Thread starter Cyinthenorth
- Start date
We had a guy try to fight us because some hok fan threw a full beer at us and it hit him instead. And this was just us walking down a sidewalk with ISU shirts on. Been there twice and my now wife once and incidents all three times. I’m glad ISU fans go there to support our team, but you won’t catch me there again.
I’ve been threatened by hawk fans in Ames so I can’t imagine what the game is like in Iowa City. The little bastards are aggressive.

Had my name pulled out of a hat, got 2 tickets to the first game when they started playing again. Sat in the south end zone. We lost. I do remember there were unopened hard liquor bottles all over he place after the game was over. Parking was a mess.

At Iowa, party still going on
IOWA CITY, Iowa – It's a bird.It's a plane.It's ... a flying frozen chicken?"When someone threw a frozen chicken on the field last year, that really got me chuckling," said
I went in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. As an adult, you’ll probably just get told **** state, **** you, you suck, etc. otherwise it’s not that bad. I probably won’t ever go back, but only cause I feel like I’ve been there enough. It sucks going and getting completely beaten down on the field like 2010 and 2016.

I went once around '06 or '07 as a college kid. I survived. ******** abound, but if you're not an instigator you'll be fine.
Things you need:
A helmet for when you get full beer cans thrown at you.
A raincoat for when you get cups of piss thrown at you.
Ear plugs for drowning out the hok squawks.
A tissue to wipe the tears away when they do their special wave publicity stunt.
A shovel for dealing with all the BS.
A hok fans yard, since they have terrible parking and call peoples front yards their so called tailgate spots.

Husker fans say, "Hold my beer".
I've been there and really only had one semi-bad experience. Overall as long as you are cordial or keep to yourself there is a good chance you will have a good experience.
I know a lot of Hawkeye fans say the same about attending ISU games, although I've never seen anything out of the ordinary I can't say our fan base doesn't have a few bad actors as well. Just luck of the draw if you get stuck next to the drunk(s) who think they are funny and want to get a reaction out of you because they think they are safe with thousands of other Hawkeye fans in the area.
Just hope we cone out on top and then bring the umbrella to keep the beer cans from hitting you!
We would have an easy place to park but I would never go to a game there. They are bad enough at Jack Trice. Our friends who live not too far from the stadium have nightmare stories about what Hawk fans have done to and on their property.
Want to borrow my Fu&% Iowa shirt? They loved it when I wore it in kinnick back in 98. It's a cheap 100% cotton shirt I bought on Welch Ave, but worth every penny!
They would love this thread and have the honor to make it hard for visitor fans in their stadium.
Bring the battle! Get ready for responses.
