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.
