What is the Iowa Wave? Explaining college football’s best tradition

It may not be that old of a tradition, but the Iowa Wave is one of the best in college football.

Even though it is only four seasons old, the Iowa Wave, or the Kinnick Wave as some people call it, is one of the best traditions in college football.

After the first quarter of every Iowa Hawkeyes home game, the crowd turns to University of Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital that overlooks Kinnick Stadium and waves to the children watching the game from above. It is amazing this tradition is only four seasons old, but it is one that pulls on the heartstrings of every college football fan who watches any Iowa home game.

Here is FOX’s Jenny Taft going into detail about everything you need to know about the Iowa Wave.
