Our Story

The Greater SW Florida Paradise Iowa Club is where Hawkeyes in Southwest Florida find each other. We are alumni and supporters of the University of Iowa, from Fort Myers to Naples. We watch the games together, we raise money for causes close to home, and we keep the black and gold flying a long way from Iowa City. New in town or just down for the season, there is a seat for you. Go Hawks!

It's Game Time

The IOWA ROOM gets you the full Kinnick vibe: one big screen dedicated to the game, a crowd of fellow Hawks fans, and the Iowa Fight Song. There are raffles with Iowa prizes supporting the club's charitable work, and the schwag bags are back. Bring a friend, wear the gold, and find out how many Hawkeyes live down the street from you.
