The Rose Club

Welcome to 

The Rose Club began as a community of friends and fans united by their passion for Iowa football and the cherished tradition of tailgating during the season. What started as a way to celebrate game days with food, fun, and friendship has grown into something much bigger. Today, The Rose Club not only hosts one of the most spirited tailgates on Melrose Avenue, but has also expanded its mission through The Rose Club Foundation. While the tailgate focuses on creating unforgettable game day experiences, the Foundation carries that same spirit into philanthropy—supporting Iowa student-athletes, raising funds for local charities, and giving back to families in need. Together, they represent two sides of the same passion: celebrating Hawkeye traditions while making a meaningful impact beyond the field.
