Game Day Iowa

Living in a university town has taught me many things...HOW to park downtown and avoid bicycling students, WHEN to time my downtown shopping to miss university students and last but not least...WHERE to shop for all my U of I Hawkeye needs! Now, this may not sound like a biggie to many reading this....but let me assure you. Just because a store totes "we have Hawkeye items" does not mean the items are of high quality and often can actually mean the HIGH part is in the price. So it's important to know where to find the popular black and gold items and save some green for the game as well!

I admit, when I first moved to the area, I was drawn downtown to the big building on the corner who seemed to be a legend in the land of the Hawkeye. I believed that I would find a fair price AND great variety. BUT...as the years have gone by I have come to realize that not only did I NOT find the best prices downtown, I also was missing many interesting items that could have been found had I only known about Game Day Iowa.
