Coming soon to The University of Iowa's Kinnick Stadium:
The Tigerhawk logo will be installed midfield at Kinnick Stadium when crews put in new field turf this summer.
It's the first time the logo will be added to the field since the end of the 1980 football season.
Additional information from University of Iowa Athletics website:
The stadium playing surface has not had a University logo since a block "I" adorned the center of the field from 1972 through 1980. Artificial turf was first installed prior to the 1972 season and the block "I"appeared at midfield until a new surface was installed prior to the 1981 season, without a logo at midfield. With the Tigerhawk at midfield, the north end zone will now feature the familiar IOWA, without the Tigerhawk. The south end zone will continue to display "Hawkeyes" and will not change. The end zone surface will remain black, with the lettering in each end zone in gold featuring the Hawkeye Font of Iowa Athletics. Also in the Hawkeye Font will be the yard line numbers on the east and west side of the field.
Iowa's home opener is September 2nd against Wyoming.
