It appears to be a myth perpetuated by some Iowa fans and the networks hyping the game.
Facts matter. Results matter.

Kinnick night crowd is pretty meaningless.

LSU has lost at night at home. So has Penn State. Oregon just did. Quit crying. We've got an amazing home atmosphere.
That doesn’t assist in winning.
It's not the crowd's fault our special teams players were stupid.
Are you drunk? Did you see Ohio State last year? Michigan the year before?
Oh good, now Northern is spewing his shit on the football board.... YAY!

Also, plenty of coaches and players have said Kinnick, especially at night, is one of the toughest places in the country to play. I’ll take their word.

What do you have to gain with posts like this? You have a truly miserable existence
Because the results weren't what we wanted the Kinnick atmosphere is overrated?
Lol, sure.
Lol, sure.
I do know one thing after watching many college games yesterday and seeing how bad/small the crowds were at those games I am damn proud to be a Hawkeye fan and damn happy with how we tend to fill the stadium with a raucous crowd every week. go Hawks
I was there. It was loud and badass
Iowa > your team, especially if it's Wisconsin or Iowa State
I think what the OP is saying is that since Iowa lost last night, in Kinnick, the stadium, fans and atmosphere basically suck. He expected laser beams to shoot out of the press box, localized mirco-earthquakes to erupt on the field and the winds of Ragnarok to emerge from the heavens. All to the detriment of the guys in white.
Iowa comes in at #21 among P5 teams since 2003 at a 74% home winning percentage. The B1G teams ahead of them are Ohio St, Wisconsin, Penn St, and Michigan. It’s not too surprising that the better the team, the better the home field advantage.
Haven't seen him post recently or ever. Suddenly all over the board with negativity when we lose. Questionable.
Ya, da environment is not quite hilton magic, but close, amazing environment for a da football.
I've talked to some fans that attended the game, including my son, and let them know that I was not impressed with their effort. I've suggested off-season screaming and hand-waving training. And, for God's sake, where were the frickin' signs? I saw a limited amount of face paint, and that's just not going to get it done. Pitiful!
I realize some our fans are young, and some are only 2 star fans, but the effort simply wasn't there last night. The current situation is intolerable! After all, I have paid no money so I can sit in my family room and watch on TV, while they actually go to the games and put on that disgraceful performance.

Putrid Iowa 75% at home over the last 5 years. The great and powerful ISU, with Hilton Magic, at 82%. Congratulations, I guess.
Well then stay home and don't go. Sounds like Kinnick Stadium would be better without you there anyway.

BS, the crowd and the atmosphere were AWESOME! ( that can't be denied.)
Nope that one doesn't count......because f*** Wisconsin. That's why.
Name a better home crowd with a historically worse team than Iowa. Or even a team that you consider on equal footing with Iowa.

did you think Iowa was never going to lose at home again?
even the big dogs lose at home from time to time.
that was a moronic post......
Being at the game, there were a huge number of LONG, TV timeouts, it killed the crowd. it also became difficult for teams to build momentum. The crowd actually started to boo them. I think day games are better for this reason.
Daunting, huh. A daunting crowd would impress you. I’m laughing out loud typing this. Head back to the thesaurus for a word that actually fits your trolling.
