The school's sports teams are called the Hawkeyes. They participate in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Big Ten Conference. Iowa's football team plays its home games at historic Kinnick Stadium, named after former Iowa football player Nile Kinnick who won the Heisman Trophy in 1939. Kinnick Stadium hosts 70,585 fans. The stadium will unveil a new look in 2006 with the completion of a 90 million dollar renovation. The renovation included new stands in the south endzone and a new press box. In the past few years, the football team has enjoyed much success, making five national bowl appearances since 2001 including Big Ten titles in 2002 and 2004. Iowa battles Iowa State University annually for the Cy-Hawk Trophy, a traveling award. It also has a Big Ten rivalry with Minnesota. The two schools' football teams meet yearly to battle for Floyd of Rosedale, a traveling trophy in the shape of a bronzed pig. In 2004, Iowa and Wisconsin unveiled the Heartland Trophy, a bronze bull, to be played for in their annual rivalry. The Hawkeye football team has won eleven Big Ten football titles. The school is also famous for its collegiate wrestling program. Through 2005, the Hawkeyes grapplers have won an amazing 20 national titles and 31 Big Ten titles. Coach Dan Gable's Gang won nine straight NCAA team championships (1978 to 1986) and twice won three in a row (1991 to 1993 and 1995 to 1997). Iowa's 47 NCAA Champions have won a total of 73 NCAA individual titles, crowning six three-time and 13 two-time champions. Furthermore, Iowa's 127 all-Americans have earned all-America status 258 times, including 16 four-time, 27 three-time and 29 two-time honorees. Sports Illustrated named the Iowa program one of the top sports dynasties of the 20th century.[2] The program again made the news on March 29, 2006 when it was announced that wrestling coach Jim Zalesky's contract will not be renewed. About a month later Iowa hired former 4 time All-American and Olympic champion Tom Brands as the new head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Carver-Hawkeye Arena seats 15,500 for Iowa basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, and wrestling. On June 23, 2006 it was announced that former University of Wyoming athletic director Gary Barta has been named the new athletic director of the University. Barta replaces Bob Bowlsby, who is leaving the University on July 9th to become the new athletic director of Stanford University.
