About the Springfield Ozarks Iowa Hawkeye Club

We are the Ozark Iowa club of Missouri. Fans find when they need more than a zip code—we are handshake energy, eye contact, and the shared language of On Iowa echoing off brick walls downtown.

Mission

Gather University of Iowa supporters across Springfield, Greene County, and the broader Ozarks region; host premium watch experiences; amplify Hawkeye news; and represent Iowa values—grit, hospitality, and sportsmanship—without apology.

What makes our chapter different

Plenty of cities have alumni bars. Fewer have a cinematic, community-driven rhythm: curated RSVPs, coordinated charity moments, and digital hubs (football, men's basketball, women's basketball, news) that prove we are active year-round.

Leadership and contact

Joe Tonkinson anchors day-to-day member communication. Call (417) 299-6674 or use the homepage join form for fastest onboarding.

Hawkeye traditions we protect

From the swarm entrance to the wave at the children's hospital, we translate Iowa City traditions into Ozarks language—same respect, same timing, same refusal to let cynicism win.
