DePaul Universityâs womenâs basketball team commenced its 50th season by participating in a charity exhibition game against the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, breaking the all-time womenâs basketball attendance record with 55,646 attendees.
Kinnick Stadium erupted with tens of thousands of screams and roars at the Oct. 15 game in Iowa City. All net proceeds from the game were donated to Iowaâs Stead Family Childrenâs Hospital, which received $250,000.
