I have participated in the wave dozens of times now. I'm lucky enough to be in section 109, very close to the hospital.
I am not exaggerating, that I get a little choked up every single time. Because every single time, I look up and there are kids waving back who have never gotten to experience it before. Kids who are going through terrible times. I hope it helps them even just a little bit.
Kinnick is definitely way up there on the list, But saying there's a definitive top 3 is a stretch. I hate Penn State but having been to a night game whiteout there I have to say that is seriously impressive and should be on any college fan's bucket list. Imagine a night game with 40,000 more people than Kinnick all wearing white under the lights.
I wouldn't recommend spending the money on it this year, though.
