The Final Four party starts Friday in Cleveland and Iowa women's basketball fans will no doubt be showing up in impressive numbers. How many Hawkeye jerseys did we all see in the stands in Albany? But if you can't make the trip to Ohio this weekend, you can watch the Iowa woman at the official home of the Hawkeyes!

Hawkeye Sports reports that the University of Iowa Athletics Department will be hosting a watch party for the Iowa versus UConn game on Friday night. The event will be held at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and is FREE and open to the public. Doors will open at 7 p.m., about 90 minutes prior to Iowa's tipoff against the Huskies in the Final Four.

Fans who plan on attending can enter the arena through doors at the North, South, and West entrances of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Hawkeye Sports reports that fans can watch the game on the jumbotron at Carver from the east side of the arena in sections NN, N, M, L, MM, LL, and KK. Parking will be free in all surrounding lots with no reserved parking at the event.

Even though the game won't be played on the court, it will still feel a lot like an Iowa home game. There will be in-game entertainment and the Hawkeye Fan Shop and concession stands will be open. Patrons can even enjoy beer and wine on Friday night, according to Hawkeye Sports.

A reminder to all fans heading to Iowa City for the event, the University's clear bag policy will be enforced.
