During the course of the pandemic, we've said to ourselves, hang in there! The day will come when we'll be allowed back in to our favorite places, like Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Well, for Iowa Hawkeye football fans, that day is coming this spring. The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports that the Iowa football program has announced that it will host two practices this spring and they will be open to Hawkeye fans.

The two spring practices will be held on April 17th and on May 1st, weather permitting. There will be a limit on capacity at Kinnick Stadium to 50% and masks will be required when entering. The Gazette reports that Iowa will also bring back the annual FryFest celebration on September 3rd, the day before Iowa's season opener against Indiana. The National Iowa Varsity Club will be celebrating the 2021 Hall of Fame class at the event as well.
