Saturday marks the 68th meeting between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones. It’s also the second consecutive meeting that will feature ESPN’s College GameDay on campus.

The 2019 Cy-Hawk pre-game with ESPN Gameday was when Carson King pleaded for money for Busch Light ---which turned into $3 million in donations to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.

Iowa’s roadways in and around Ames on Saturday will definitely be a bit congested for the Cy-Hawk game at Jack Trice Stadium as #9 Iowa State hosts #10 Iowa.

All parking lots will open at 6 a.m.
