Siouxland is full of University of Iowa fans, alumni, and friends who love watching University of Iowa Hawkeye basketball. But driving 4 hours each way to catch a home game in Iowa City can be tough. So, it's super exciting that they've launched a new series of "home games" in other Iowa cities! Here's the info families need on these Hawkeye basketball games right here in Sioux City in November of 2026:

Where are the Hawkeyes playing in Sioux City?
The Hawkeye men and women will each play a game at Sioux City's Tyson Events Center. The official street address is 401 Gordon Drive in downtown Sioux City, Iowa. There is a large lot, and the Tyson website says $10 for regular parking and $15 for VIP Parking, or on the Ticketmaster site there is an add-on for $11.50 parking for the women's game. So, I'm not 100% sure if that's the same price parking will be on the day of the game or not but I would guess in that ballpark.
The Tyson FAQs say cash is not accepted, so make sure you have a card of some kind. If you are sending a tween or teen to the game who doesn't have a debit card, I can't make any promises, but have had success with my own teen using a Visa giftcard for cashless sporting events, so that's what I personally would try for this too. Be sure to register it online if that's an option-sometimes you have to register them online with your address and create a pin before you can use them out and about! I also used to always write down the card number and pin myself so that I could check the balance from home if my teen asked and that came in very handy several times.
When are the Hawkeyes playing in Sioux City?
The Hawkeye men are playing their Sioux City game on Tuesday, November 10th at 6pm. Doors open at 4:30pm.
The Hawkeye women are playing their Sioux City game on Sunday, November 15th at noon. Doors open at 10:30am.
Sioux City Hawkeye Fan Fun
The University of Iowa colors are black and yellow, so I definitely encourage people to wear those colors! Virginia Tech is maroon and orange and Vanderbilt colors are gold and black, so maybe avoid those unless you're intentionally cheering for those teams.
If you're looking for cute gameday accessory options, I love the Nickel & Suede University of Iowa licensed jewelry collection!
The Tyson has a clear bag policy, so be sure to check that out and make sure you are compliant or meet one of the exceptions.
Also, Caitlin Clark has a brand-new children's picture book EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams out this November, so consider reading that with your kids as you're talking with them about the great traditions of Iowa basketball. I'll have a full review up soon, but the short version is that it's very cute and encouraging!
How to Get Tickets to the Hawkeye basketball games in Sioux City
To get your tickets to see the Hawkeyes playing basketball in Sioux City, go to the Tyson Events Center's Primebank box office in person or online (through Ticketmaster.)
But don't wait too long--I took a look at the Ticketmaster options for both the men's and women's games at the Tyson and there were not many seats left. I hope that encourages the Hawkeyes to return to Sioux City often!
