When Iowa is playing at home and the first quarter comes to an end, the football game suddenly is out of sight and out of mind for a few minutes for everyone inside Kinnick Stadium and the kids watching from the nearby Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City.
The 70,000 fans along with players, coaches and staff for the Hawkeyes and the visiting team turn toward the hospital and wave to the pediatric patients and parents gathered on the top floor that provides a bird's-eye view of the field. The children wave back and hold up handmade signs.
