WATERLOO, Iowa-The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum is hosting a special autograph signing with Dan Gable at the UNI Dome on Friday, March 30 at 11 a.m.
The signing will take place during USA Wrestling's Folkstyle Nationals.
"This is a great way to generate interest for the World Cup in Iowa City the following weekend," said museum namesake Dan Gable. "I'm proud to be part of two successful USA Wrestling events on back-to-back weekends.

The UNI Dome has been an excellent facility for wrestling competitions. The UNI Dome was also where Dan Gable won his final NCAA tournament as the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes in 1997, setting the record for most points scored at 170.
All are welcome to attend this special autograph signing at the UNI Dome.
