Remembering the Titans in Kinnick

It is perhaps one of the most iconic sports movies in cinematic history.

Remember the Titans, the story of an African-American football coach and his team during their first year after becoming racially integrated, is a must-see for any sports fan.

This weekend, the movie can be watched on the most respected ground for Iowa football fans — Kinnick Stadium.

The movie will start at 7:30 p.m. Saturday; it was chosen by fans via online vote. Admission is free, and people will not need to claim tickets ahead of time. Gate G opens at 6:30 p.m. for season-ticket holders and Junior Hawk Club members, while Gates E and H will open at 7 p.m. for everyone else.

Those in attendance can watch the movie from the field or the north and west grandstands. Guests are allowed to bring blankets and one unopened bottle of water but no outside food. There will be minimal concessions available.
