The Hawkeye Wave found its way to Nashville during Saturday’s Music City Bowl.
The beloved football tradition has always given those at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium a chance to wave and give support to those watching the game right next door at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
While Iowa’s bowl game against Kentucky was far away from home in Tennessee, those present at Nissan Stadium still found a heartwarming way to keep the tradition alive on the road.
As is custom at the end of the first quarter, everyone in Nashville waved from afar to all those watching on television at the children’s hospital. It’s just such a lovely sight to see to close your 2022.
Pretty cool moment here at the Music City Bowl, during this timeout they did the wave tradition Iowa football always does for home games when they wave to the Iowa City Children’s Hospital kids! 👋
Gotta love sports bringing people together. 💪🙏 #BBN #Hawkeyes @MusicCityBowl pic.twitter.com/UzRRL2AoTx

Warm feelings abounded during that incredibly touching moment.
It’s always nice to see football fans come together and recognize something bigger than what’s happening on the field, which is what the Hawkeye Wave has always represented.
Nice job, everyone!
