Iowa: Hawkeye Fans Wave Love to Children's Hospital Kids

During the Iowa Hawkeyes' home gridiron clash, the Kinnick Stadium crowd paused in the first quarter for their signature tradition: a thunderous wave to patients at the adjacent Stead Family Children's Hospital, where young fans watched from bedsides, feeling the roar of support like their own touchdown.

Family pride moment:

Over 100 hospitalized youth lit up rooms with signs and cheers, with parents tweeting emotional thanks; it's a ritual that weaves college sports into healing hugs for the littlest fans.
