This tradition has gotten to the point that even the opposing team and fans take part.

[glennvanzandt]

As a truck driver, Iowa is one of my favorite states. The people I've met there are so nice.

[custardflan]

I'm an IOWA STATe Cyclone fan and don't normally root for the Hawkeyes but this is the best tradition in sports.

[JonathanLawson]

The architect that designed that wing of the hospital to look over the stadium was genius

[dreamsxs]

Being a life long Iowa fan, and seeing this video over and over, I still tear up. What a wonderful trandition. Love your reaction to all this Maddy. Proves to me that you are a loving person.

[thomaslee]

This one gets me every time. It's also refreshing to see so many people appealing to their higher angels for others in distress.

[jasoncomstock]

I was at the very first game when this great tradition started and I don't think their was a dry eye around. Great reaction and thank you for reacting to it!

[scottwontorski]

As a resident of Iowa, I have seen this up close, having been to a game at Kinnick since this tradition started. I was never so prouder than I was that day, I was giving back to the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in her voice box and vocal chords in late 2010. The University of Iowa Hospital was able to get my wife the treatment she needed and eradicated the cancer for her. At the time we were not full time residents of Iowa we had a P.O. Box in Dubuque, Iowa but it was enough for them to get her treatments and the insurance she needed to get through it. I am a fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide and have been since 1979, The Hawkeyes hold a spot in my fandom for what they did for my wife and I as well as what they do for the children in that hospital. All of the Hawkeyes sports teams have the Kid Captain program where a child from the Hospital is an honorary captain for the team. Football, Basketball (Men and Women), Baseball, and Softball to name a few. That school is amazing with what they do with those kids there. This video drives it home for me that there is hope yet for our country.

My daughter spent 6 weeks with a view of the Iowa stadium from the 9th floor at Stead. ❤. Nothing but amazing care and compassion from every person that walks the campus at Iowa. ❤❤❤

[McLeod]

this react is the most sincere I have seen.

[sirkat]

Since this began, opposing teams have joined in the wave as well. A great tradition for Iowa.

I say this to all who react and share this video, but thank you. Thank you for sharing something that, as a member of Hawkeye Heaven, my late mom and I played a miniscule role in sharing and promoting online. I cry watching this video everytime. And I will NEVER stop watching it. But everyone needs to realize this kind of tradition exists. Not to promote the university, but to promote the love and kindness we all still have in our hearts, even as divided as we may be. These kids don't see that division, and we don't show it to them. Instead we show them unity and strength in a fight they don't deserve tofight because they have so much ahead of them. Again, as a black and gold bleeding Hawkeye, thank you.

I was hospitalized there when that children's hospital was being built. I was hospitalized for 15 days when i went in premature Labor at 30 weeks. Luckily they got it to stop and i jad her at 37 weeks. My oldest goes there for his checkups. He was born at 35 weeks and spent a month in the NICU and then at 19 months he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Hes a healthy almost 14 yr old now and my daughter recently turned 9. I cherish that hospital 🏥

[RonHouck-ebcn]

As an Ohio State fan, that is is probably the neatest game routine I have seen Cheers out to the Iowa Hawkeyes, their opponents, and the fans for reaching to the kids there and showing them they aren’t forgotten

[billwell]

My wife is from Iowa and is a huge Hawkeye fan. This "tradition" makes me a little teary-eyed.

[MoreKellBellPlease]

I've been at several games and it is special every time ❤

[johnquick]

Finally was able to watch the video. That was a tough one to watch. 🙏
