Kinnick Stadium was named after 1939 Heisman winner Nile Kinnick, Iowa's one and only Heisman Trophy winner. It opened in 1929, simply known as "Iowa Stadium." Kinnick tragically passed away on June 2, 1943, when his F4F Wildcat crashed into the ocean at the Gulf of Paria. This led to the eventual renaming of the stadium in 1972. As part of the most recent renovations, a statue of Kinnick was unveiled on September 1, 2006 just outside the stadium. The statue portrays Kinnick as a student at Iowa, with a football helmet at his feet.
The University borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa (also known as the Hawkeye State) many years ago. The state of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James G. Edwards of Fort Madison.
Burlington had been established in 1833 after the Black Hawk War of 1832.
Mr. Edwards proposed the nickname "Hawk-eyes" in 1838 to "...rescue from oblivion a memento, at least of the name of the old chief," Black Hawk. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his newspaper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye in tribute to his friend Chief Black Hawk.
The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name and were rewarded when territorial officials gave it their formal approval.
