Last night the home of Hawkeyes football was inundated with country music fans from across the state for an all-day party. An estimated fifty thousand people made their way to Kinnick Stadium for the Back Porch Revival. The first-ever concert to be held at the stadium featured country acts David Ray, Morgan Frazier, Big & Rich, Blake Shelton and more. Proceeds from the concert benefit The Native Fund, a charity created in 2008 by former Hawkeye and NFL football player Dallas Clark and actor Ashton Kutcher to help Iowans in need. Check out these shots from the event!
