Iowa to host Pittsburgh, Minnesota at night

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa will play its first night games at Kinnick Stadium in three years with a pair of primetime contests this fall.

The Big Ten Network and the league announced Monday that the Hawkeyes will host Pittsburgh on Sept. 19 and Minnesota on Nov. 14 in primetime.

It will be the first time Iowa has hosted multiple night games in the same season. Since Kinnick Stadium is one of the few nationally without permanent lights, temporary lighting will be brought in.

Iowa last played a night game at home in 2012.
