and Purdue for our away trips this season. I've never been to a game at Kinnick. Of course looking forward to waving at the kids. Anyone got a rec for what to see or eat? Staying a couple miles from the stadium.

My college roommate is a professor at Iowa.  He just asked me if I was going to go.  Thought about it but I don’t think I can make it work.

@thehoosierhuddle Can’t speak to Iowa City, but in Davenport the obvious answer is The Machine Shed.  Great for both dinner and breakfast.

it's been a hundred years since I've been there but don't leave Iowa City without eating and gassing up  because there is NOTHING for 100 miles when you leave.

We're planning on checking out the Old Capitol Museum and the Museum of Natural History on campus Friday when we're walking around campus.  I have no idea of they're any good, but our camp site check-in isn't until 4pm, so we'll have time to kill.

 

**WARNING** It's their homecoming.  Might want to check their website so you don't find yourself stuck around road closures or something during parade times.  Unless that's your thing.

My wife and I will be there as well. Someone should definitely organize a meet up spot! (Sammy ;P)
