The Magic bus is owned and operated by the Iowa City Rugby Football Club.  We donate thousands of dollars each year to great causes around the area with the proceeds going to local charities.

We are also the self proclaimed Number 1 Hawkeye tailgating spot in Iowa City. 

The Magic bus has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Playboy Magazine and numerous local newscasts over the years. 

Come on out to any Iowa Hawkeye home football game and we will be there with plenty of cold beer and great music. We also set up multiple televisions for the game!

"The word has come in from the city of Iowa City this morning the Magic Bus has been denied its permit to operate. We will regroup and make a plan. The Magic Bus shirts you see as the profile picture are being printed today and will be for sale through the site by contacting me or the team. We will try to have some at Grizzlys’ Bar and Grill too. Each shirt will come with a vinyl Magic Bus decal. The Magic Bus fish from a shirt about 10 years ago. Proceeds once again will go to a worthy cause. Thanks to Erin N., our two lawyers, and all those who helped us with our battle. We will look for another site or a rich elderly lady without any kids who wants to adopt some rugby players."

The Iowa City Housing and Inspection Services Department had the sole decision on the new permit.  More information is expected later Thursday afternoon.
