The University of Iowa recently announced they are ceasing operations for The Hawkeye Express. The announcement cited social distancing concerns, the need for future equipment upgrades and increased operating expenses. Although we understand the legitimacy of those concerns, I believe we can find other alternatives to address them so we don’t lose a cherished piece of Iowa football tradition. I am requesting the University of Iowa Athletics Department, Iowa Northern Railway Company and Iowa Interstate provide information on what would be needed to allow The Hawkeye Express to continue operating and enhancing the game day experience for thousands of Hawkeye fans. I am confident that together we can develop a marketing strategy that will reach University of Iowa alumni, former players and faithful Hawkeye football fans across the country to ensure the Hawkeye Express keeps making those Saturday trips for everyone who wants them.

Save The Hawkeye Express!
