Fans, Players in University of Iowa Stadium Turn to Wave at Kids in Hospital

I am a huge Badger fan from southwest Wisc. A big fan of "jump around" that takes place at the end of the 3rd quarter at Camp Randall in Madison. But what takes place at Kinnick Stadium with the players, coaches and fans all waving to the sick children and their families is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever witnesses at a sporting event. Period. Way to go Iowa!!!

A beautiful tradition - I didnt know about this until just now, watching Hawkeyes v. Spartans

Love this so so much

I look forward to doing this in 3 weeks

Blessings! Off this and the hand holding as a team coming out to play. When NCAA Football 23 comes out I'm going to Iowa. 💪🏾💯❤

There is a reason the Midwest is called "The Heartland."

Such a wholesome tradition, love it!!!!

Wow!💙..

As a buckeye fan, Iowa is a class act program from the ANF campaign to this. Two thumbs up for the Hawks!

Absolutely fantastic. Great job iowa.✝️🇺🇲

I’m a Hawkeye fan and I have yet to join the big wave it’s one of my goals!

I’m so glad to hear that

A big wave from me. Best thing I've seen in a very long while.

One of your Hawkeye students, Carson Beck is misogynistic and supports sexual predatory behavior in professional sports and on school campuses

Whoever had the idea to put the pediatric hospital next to the stadium with that view needs a big pat on the back and an even bigger hug. Remember being a kid and college football players were like demigods? Now imagine how these kids must feel to have them all taking a minute to wave and acknowledge you! It's painful, sad and totally inspiring all at the same time! As a life long Michigan fan and Big Ten fan I have nothing but huge respect for the Hawkeyes; even if Kinnick Stadium has been the site of many shattered seasons. Go Blue, Go Hawkeyes!

The best college football tradition ever. It's not even close. Just became aware of it today. I don't care if Iowa ever wins another game. Their university, their program, their fans and their players will always be champions in my book.<wiping tears from my eyes>. I'm a cynic and hate efforts to try and manipulate me but this is real, important and beautiful.

This is what makes Americans great people.

Go Hawks!

I’m from New Jersey. Huge college football fan. This is my new favorite college football team.

BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES.

My favorite college tradition

Go hawks.

I’m impressed that an entire audience would pay sick kids attention. But please parents, stop forcing the sick ones to wave back! They’re sick for peep’s sake.

Never forget the innocents.

The world ain't a bad place after all

True love. Amazing 👍👍

Left, right, or center. You got to love America.

This touch my heart made me cry I really hope this make the children’s day love to all of them fighting be strong 💪🏾❤️🙏🏾

14 people went thumbs down here.....seek psychological help immediately...

I want to make it to one of y'all's football games just to do that! I find it impressive as well that the other opposing teams wave !

One of the most BEAUTIFUL GESTURES I have ever SEEN. The UNIVERSITY OF IOWA and VISITING TEAM, here the OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, waving to the to the children on the top floor of the Children's Hospital. Not just the teams, everyone is waving. This is FANTASTIC, GOD BLESS THE IOWA HAWKEYES.

As an Iowa State fan I hate Iowa but this is awsome

R E S P E C T
I had to cry tears of joy...
May All those Kids feel better soon 😍😍😍
Nice greetings from Germany

It's the best tradition yet. Which college or pro football team can top this?

As an Ohio State fan, dotting the eye is no longer the best tradition in college football. AWESOME JOB, IOWA!!!!!!! Big 10 proud!!!

This is awesome

That's class.

Waving 👋 From Michigan to The little Iowa State Hawkeyes Fans get well soon

Got to see this at the Wyoming game and it is so wholesome

That's literally the sweetest gesture in all of sports lol

Those 9 dislikes can go die

Come On. Can’t have one moment for Iowa without mentioning the goddamn buckeyes

Never been prouder to be an Iowan

Just a reminder to always remain grateful

Oh wow 9 dislikes

Well done Iowa.

This is stupid

Iowa has bad corn, but a wonderful tradition.
