Founded in 1895 in Cedar Falls, the Northern Iowa Panthers set the standard for FCS toughness. UNI has claimed more than a dozen conference championships in the Gateway and Missouri Valley Football Conference, piled up 20-plus FCS playoff appearances, and reached the 2005 national championship game. Icons like Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, Bryce Paup, and All-Pro back David Johnson keep the Panther legacy in the spotlight, while longtime head coach Mark Farley continues to steer a hard-nosed program. Game day at the UNI-Dome is something special. The indoor setting traps noise, the purple and gold student section never sits, and tailgating outside rolls from morning to kickoff. When the Panther Marching Band hits and the crowd swells, Cedar Falls turns into a football furnace.
