Sorry to take up a whole tread on this but I have a question for Iowa season ticket holders and others in general. My season tickets were section: EE row: 16 and my big ten tickets are section: D row: 32. Of there isn't a bad seat in the house but I was kind of surprised at how far back my group is sitting. I would assume this is because each school has sections within the arena so getting close is difficult? I purchased the tickets as soon as they were available. How do these seats compare to other peoples season ticket seats? Thanks in advance. Go Hawks!
Big Tens Seating Question
- Thread starter melace
- Start date
There was a picture of Carver showing where each school is allotted their seating. I don't recall the letters, but guessing that your section was in another school's place. As for us, we are in MM for our season, still in MM for the B1G tourney, but back several rows.
Someone posted the seating chart on a thread here somewhere......tried to find it, but it must be buried somewhere.
Chart and other tourney info are on this B1G championship link

Maryland's claim to fame in BIG wrestling you do not want to be sitting anywhere near him.Scream's constantly and he is a lawyer I guess that would make sense.
Or if we could get a fan to sit next to him and put a laxative in his drink.....
My season tickets are in NN and my Big Ten tickets are BB. Same row but I figured I would get my season ticket seats. Does anyone know why they moved some of us?
Priority points from donations, etc. At least that was the explanation I received when I called.
Level of donations to I-Club/university are top points for seating priority. Other things that factor in are number of sports you buy for, number of tickets you buy, number of years you've bought, and probably a few others. Not sure exactly what order. There is an obtainable list somewhere, I've just never cared enough to check into it. I've found that we get better seats for NCAAs on years I donate, but the years I'm too broke we get hosed. We have had anywhere from 5 to 12 season (most years 9-11) tickets for 34 years, but that doesn't get you many points. We got bumped out of the seats we had for over 25 years when they reseated the arena several years ago. Guess I should have made sure I donated that year. I guess I figure I've given them enough money with my second son in the school of Engineering there currently. It was a lot cheaper for the first one 15+ years ago.
All that being said, we got moved back 4 rows and to the opposite side of our section (instead of seats 7-10, seats 1-4) in a few rows.

Part of the reason for the re-seating of tickets (from your season tickets) for Big Ten's was because the first 5 rows on each side of the arena are portable bleachers that are pushed in to make room for the 4 mats, tables, etc.! Obviously, those 5 rows on each side are typically filled with season ticket holders that have to be moved somewhere!
Yeah, you will easily know where the Super Fan is sitting. During the Iowa/Maryland dual, he didn't stop chanting until the end. I've seen posts on Twitter that the press/radio guys just "love" sitting next to him!
