Walking through the packed parking lot of a University smelling hotdogs and hamburgers has football game-day written all over it. It’s Iowa, so you’re almost guaranteed to see an empty can of beer roll past you as it gets carried with the wind. Everywhere you look you see maroon and black, the colors that Morningside fans wear with pride. Here, Saturdays get treated as a holiday as hundreds of fans swarm the bleachers to cheer on their hometown heroes.
Morningside University is in Sioux City, Iowa and it is the home of the Mustangs who are multiple time national football champions. Across America, going to, or watching, college football games on Saturdays is a tradition. Today, the Mustangs host conference rivals in Northwestern University so you’d bet that you want to be at the game feeling the catastrophic atmosphere as opposed to watching the game in the dorms on a twin bed.
