Greats like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Buffett, Ratt, Lynn Allen, and "I need more Cowbell," Blue Oyster Cult have all played their hits at the LeClaire Park bandshell. It's a beautiful setting for an evening concert. The sounds of trains going by and riverboats on the Mighty Mississippi add to the atmosphere.

It is so nice to have a large venue that can bring in the concerts and I've attended many at this…read morevenue. But the one thing this place needs to get better at is the drink service. The length of time we spend waiting in line to purchase a drink is RIDICULOUS. Last night for Snoop Dogg I spent OVER 45 minutes in line for a beer. Unacceptable. And all the people waiting in line for a beverage creates massive congestion in the concourse.

I drove 3 hours for a concert here and will not be doing that again. It's nice and clean but so…read moresmall. Security has no experience and any little thing will hold up the lines for a long time. Since it's so small, it's hard to get around without bump into others and spilling drinks. The bar staff is probably the worst part. You will be waiting for 15-30 minutes in line at a bar for $20 drinks that are nothing but soda (2 oz liquor 15 oz soda), if they get that right. I ordered a vodka tonic that the bartender asked about 4 times and each time it was wrong! You are guaranteed to miss 20-30 minutes of any performance if you decide to leave to get a drink. Seat is like being on a small plane, extremely tight and narrow. If you move suddenly you are bound to hit the people next to you. If you stand up, you'll be blocking everyone. And being seated will make your knees and back cramp. The only reason they get 2 stars is due to cleanliness of the building, $15 parking and the view from our seats which is due to the size. Otherwise expect Chicago prices and attitude.

I can only speak for watching college basketball and graduations here, but it is a great place for…read moreboth. Watching Redbird basketball here is something anyone in the Bloomington/Normal should do and do often. Great atmosphere and usually a fun crowd. Concessions are a little pricey but usually go to a non-profit, school, or scouts so that helps.

Not a bad facility. I did notice that anytime someone would walk up and down the stairs the…read morebleachers would shake. WiFi is secured so you can't just randomly access it. $3 for a bottle of water. The bathrooms were clean. The coffee was weak. Parking was not so great but it was a big event so no big deal.

In my gut I know it is biased to give Kinnick a 5-star rating due to the glaring infrastructural…read moreissues with this stadium, but I just can't help myself. I can't overlook how magical it is to be an Iowa-native and walk into this roaring stadium on a Saturdays. The last time I came to a game was against Michigan State during Iowa's 2025-2026 campaign. Our guys should have stomped the yard against them and ended up winning on a field goal as time expired. Classic. Epic seats for that one as well. I'll be back again... and again... and again for years to come!

Kinnick, you're a gem…read more I've spent over a dozen seasons here. The electric victories, come from behind shockers and of course, heartbreaking losses. There's no place like Kinnick Stadium on College Game Day.

Bring your credit card. - Digital Tickets. Be sure yours are loaded in your wallet on your cell phone. - Alcohol is served in the stadium. Two beers per person at a time. - Clear Totes Only. 12x12 limit. - Checkout the Nile Kinnick statue! Oh, and don't forget to Wave! Between the first and second quarter fans are asked to wave to the UI Stead Family Children's Hospital. Make the kiddos' and families' day a bit brighter-- they are fighting to get healthy each day for various reasons. Overall, there's not a ton of amazing things to do in Iowa. But attending a Hawkeye football game at Kinnick is indeed amazing and worth a trip.

They also had metal bench swings overlooking the water and it was very pretty. I wish we spent more time there but the time we spent was very nice. Would be back soon.
