Ticket Talk
There are 8,700 tickets remaining for Saturday's game against Maryland. More than 6,000 tickets have been sold to that game in the last two weeks. Just 800 single tickets remain for the Minnesota game Nov. 14. Iowa's largest home crowd this season was 66,693 for the Oct. 10 homecoming game against Illinois.

I'm sure there are well over 10,000 available for Purdue, maybe 15,000. Perhaps if the team is undefeated, and we have some unseasonably nice weather, enough fans will trickle in and we'll have a crowd more like Pitt and less like N. Texas.
Swiped 2 of the single game tickets to see Minney ... Can't make it over this weekend. Go Hawks!
Come to Kinnick early and watch the wrestling dual. Going to be a great Hawkeye day!!
Will be going to Purdue game, really hope we can sell that out with it being Senior day and Iowa hopefully going for 11-0!
Man I hope the weather is dry that day. Going to the wrestling, then the tailgate, then the football game. What a great birthday weekend!!!
This link is mostly a nice article about Cole Fisher, but also mentions:
Tickets: About 8,200 remained as of Thursday afternoon.

A little over 62k right now. Hopefully that pushes upwards, though the weather won't help walkups.

Minnesota officially sold out
It's too easy for people to turn on the tv, save the money and still have 1/2 of their Saturday for other activities. It's a result of the culture and the economy.
I'd love to go to every game, I've said this before though. When you live 4-5 hours away, ticket costs, plus a night of lodging, plus food, etc... You are looking at $500 or so for a weekend when it's all added up. Not to mention get to IC on Friday, leave/eat after the game Saturday, get back around 12am or after on Sat Night/Sun Morn. It takes a toll. I've done it multiple times in years past, as of recently no. I went to Ball State & Nebraska last year. This year we are only going to Nebraska as it's in my area.
If Iowa is unbeaten going into Purdue, there wont be an empty seat. An Iowa win would clinch the West
I don't see Wisconsin losing to Rutgers or Maryland, but if they did drop one of those. Iowa could lock it up after Minnesota IF they can survive the next two.
Agreed.
One thing many don't take into consideration is that (obviously) Kinnick is located in eastern Iowa and in the past, central and western Iowa account for a good chunk of what fills up the stadium.
When a large number of folks decided not to renew their tickets or not to plan to come for games this season, it's fairly difficult for many of them to change their plans to now come.
Personally, I think that is one of the reasons. It's not easy (or cheap) to make plans for a 2 or even 3 or 4 hour trek for a game. People already made other plans and commitments and it's tough (and expensive) to change them. Particularly with the ease of watching on TV or internet.
I was waiting until the game time was set. With it being Halloween and having 2 kids, yea, 2:30 is not possible. I'm sure I'm not alone.
Wanna know what is pathetic and embarassing? You.
Always post like an ISU fan on the bball board, nothing nice to say about Iowa, nothing has changed.
enjoy your weekly beatings in your rinky dink stadium.
Instead of getting mad at the other fans, ask yourself why the attendance is down. It's not the fans' fault that there wasn't any enthusiasm heading into the season. The team has outperformed anyone's expectations, but that still doesn't erase the memories of the mediocrity and general malaise of the past few years.
If Randy hadn't embarrassed us so bad, more MD fans would be there Saturday. We'll give you our best shot!
Good luck tommorow!
Good luck tommorow!
Think the it's easier to stay home and watch on TV is overblown. Many of those people who hold tight to this excuse probably never have thought of getting ST be it 2002,2009,2015 or even 2012. Remember many does not mean all.
Truly think we are seeing a repeat of 2002 numbers. People make plans with their entertainment budget and decided to spend it elsewhere. Keep on winning and many of those budgets will include Iowa ST's in 2016.

Well, it looks like about 8,000 for tomorrow....
Can I help you in any other way this evening?
