Herky the Hawk
In the fall of 2008 my friend, TJ Anderson - a member of the University of Iowa's Herky the Hawk mascot squad - took note of an unused space in the southwest corner of Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. And the idea of "Herky's Nest" was born.
TJ envisioned creating Herky's Nest - a home for Herky - that also serves as a premium seating area for children and families from the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. The goodwill gesture brings the community together in a lighthearted and meaningful way.
