Heather and I were super excited because this would be our first ever experience at a Iowa Hawkeye football game!
We made it to Iowa City and found a great place to park and tailgate! First things first...a quick pit stop at the Port Jonny.
After a car ride of convincing, we finally got Brent to take off his navy blue coat and put on something black and gold!
The egg bake got two thumbs up, complete with soy milk and 1/3 of it without cheese.
Brent, Chad and I enjoying the egg bake before the game.
Our tailgate crew!
After breakfast, we made our way to...
...Kinnick Stadium!
...and then found our seats!
These seats were amazing! North end zone, front row. I can't say enough about how good our seats were!
Heather and Shay are all smiles before the game gets underway, and yes that is the field in the background!
The marching band gives us a little pre-game show.
Here come the Hawkeyes!
Even though Heather and I aren't big Hawkeye fans, we can't help but have fun!
Herky the Hawkeye proudly waving the Hawkeye flag as the Minnesota players come out on the field.
...and the game is underway!
From where we are standing, I feel like I am a part of the huddle!
...and I think Kirk Ferentz might have been looking at me for play options.
Kinnick Stadium was completely filled up!
Iowa with the ball...
...they keep moving it down the field (towards us).
...getting close to the end zone.
...and the hand off for the touchdown! 
And Herky came by giving us all high-fives as the first half ended!
Our friend, Derek was also at the game. We saw him before the game started as he was walking to his seat. At half time he sent me a txt msg, so I turned around to see the one guy standing up in the crowd...D.P.!
The marching band played "Thriller" complete with dancing around and walking like zombies!
Here is the whole crew...still smiling, we even got a smile out of Brent!
...and here come the Hawkeyes for the start of the second half!
Iowa's incredible defense was put to the test with 1st and goal for the Golden Gophers...
...and Iowa held 'em for all 4 downs!
As the game ended, Iowa won 12 - 0 and the fans rushed the field, we followed suit and walked out onto the field!
Rob gave me a thumbs up as he jogs on the turf!
...and all the Iowa fans!
All in all, we had a great time! From the egg bake to the awesome seats to the great company to the Hawkeyes winning, it was a memorable first experience at Kinnick Stadium! Big thanks to Rob for getting the tickets, to Chad and Shay for driving, to Heather for the egg bake and to Brent for the laughs! Go Hawkeyes!
