In Game
UNI fans are some of the most passionate fans in the FCS making a trip to Cedar Falls, Iowa a must for any college football fan. You’ll witness the incredible fan support before the game even starts as everyone in attendance is in their seat before kickoff ready to cheer on the Panthers. You also won’t want to miss your opportunity to take part in UNI’s famous interlude dance, so come prepared to get down during your visit to UNI.
The fans aren’t the only thing that makes attending a UNI game a fantastic experience. The band and spirit groups put on quite the show. The marching band keeps the crowd engaged with their tunes, and the cheerleaders will get everyone on their feet at key times throughout the game.
The football at UNI is pretty good too. The Panthers are one of the most successful teams in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, having won 33 conference championships and producing great players like Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner. UNI is typically near the top of conference meaning just about every Panthers game has playoff implications.
There are few better places to take in an FCS football game than the UNI-Dome, so start planning your trip to Cedar Falls today.
