With the improvements for kinnick stadium on the way in the next few years does anyone else agree that a nice yellow tiger hawk at midfield would really give the stadium another nice upgrade. We seem to be one of the few P5 schools to not have one. #GoHawks

Something on the water tower would be really nice too.
A Tiger Hawk between the 45s would be a nice addition. Old Kirk hated the idea, which is why there isn't one. Maybe new Kirk could be talked into it--if anybody can find him.
This is the first time I've heard this idea.
I'm now intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Heck, New Kirk might very well approve an animated picture of Hayden Fry between the 45s. There's just no telling what that sly riverboat gambler will do next.
Senor Martinez, that's an awesome idea, and you could be right. Now if only we could find this elusive New Kirk. 
I prefer a block 'I". The OCD in me craves symmetry.

The OCD in you should have made sure you had your initials correct! I say this as a fellow OCD'er.
Even ND has a logo at mid-field, complete with their circa 1970's high school scoreboard.
I think yellow with black trim around it would look great. That is our logo color anyway....
I think it is a mistake not to have mid field tiger hawk. Branding is important and the tiger hawk is one of the most recognizable logos in the country and 3 hours of it burned into people's eyes on home games is just good marketing.
UI athletic department should know that.

It's interesting you propose this during a stadium update... Not exactly a costly update were talking about here.
All focus needs to be on the water tower. I want more than a tiger hawk - that baby would look great decked out in Hawkeye gold. When I make my first billion I'll get it done

I can't help you if you don't understand the importance of marketing.
Yes like above posted...huge mistake by athletic dept. on this one. One of top recognizable logos in college sports and we decide to NOT use it during our most marketable place and time. Makes zero sense.
The only thing I would add is I think it would be better to go with a black logo with yellow trim. Goes with the end zones better and also yellow on field turf streaks more and the black hides that. They might be due for new field turf about the same time...think it was 09' when they added it.

Why is there one at mid-court in Carver and not one at mid-field at Kinnick? Makes no sense. Get it done.
So tell me Mr Marketer, after watching a three hour football game on TV how is this logo going to help?
So you have no answer. You just like colors and logos cuz you think they are cool. I thought so.
Three freaking hours of watching the game seeing logos on the helmets and uniforms and some dipshit needs a logo at the center of the field so he needs reminded of who's playing. That's a dipshit that will never get the message.

They are collapsible. Pull a pin to lower them to prevent the crowd tearing them down.
I heard that A.J. Epenesa loves everything about the Univ of Iowa football program, but there is just no way he is going to play for a team that doesn't have their logo painted at mid-field.
That same day, I ran into several people that wanted to buy some Hawkeye paraphernalia, but since there was no logo on Iowa's 50-yard-line, they didn't know what it looked like.

Wait, you hung out on here for an hour at around midnight waiting for me to respond to you? Hahahahaha.
Like I said before, as others have noted, a big reason is simply marketing the brand. Not doing so is a lost opportunity.
Is it a major deal? Not really. Is it an issue though? Absolutely.
With your brilliant logic, Nike and thousands of other brands should just stop putting their logo on many things because.......well, you are just a moron so I can't continue on with this. Be smarter. K? Thanx, bye
My PC , phone and sometimes TV is all the hawk sites 24/7. I find it LOL you check up on me.
You still can't answer the question and I've asked twice. The logos already on the field, on the helmets, gloves, shoes, football they play with, Kirk's shirt and a dozen other places I haven't listed. What so special about the 50 yard line? Recruits won't come? To remind the fans watching so they won't forget who they are watching?
It's only an issue to the people who want it to be an issue. I know I backed you into a corner and you can't come up with anything to defend it. Just let it go, l have.
The playing field is for the battle not cosmetics. Oh and there's the brand in the end zone.
I like the fact that we have no logo at midfield. Midfield logos are too clichéd. Almost everyone else has one and I like that we are different.
There is nothing important about the 50 yard line; the only thing that matters is getting into that beautiful Black & Gold end zone. Our turf design has plenty of visual "pop". I think we currently have the best looking field in any stadium in the country - college or NFL.
