HOW MANY IOWA FANS INVADED UN'S STADIUM TODAY?

sounded loud and looked like a lot of Hawks but appeared spread out all over the place

 

[Hawk12345]

Counting the 4 of us in my family, I would say maybe 7,500.

 

[LuckyNed]

I think about 15,000

 

[Sett1997]

Wow, sounded really loud on tv when we made big plays.

A few times the Iowa fans sounded really loud, aoat like it was a home game! Though at the beginning of the game it sounded like the nebraska fans were extraordinarily loud so it may have just been where the cameras and sound equipment was set up

It wasn't 15,000.

To me, it seemed like Iowa brought bigger crowds to Lincoln two and four years ago. The crowd today was vocal, but I think I've seen bigger crowds from Iowa in the past meetings. I attribute it to 1) the weather, and 2) bigger trips coming up that fans are saving their money for (Indianapolis and big time bowl/playoff game)

Really didn't look to be that many on the wide ABC camera shots.

I agree, seemed like less fans this year. Also cold weather may have had fans in black instead of gold this year. Our group was in Husker section in all black. Remember 4 years ago it was warm and didn't even wear a jacket.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

It looked like 80/20 to 70/30 Nebraska.

 

[icu81222]

I thought it seemed like same or more than other 2 times just that fans were spread out and sprinkled in so it didn't appear to be as many.

 

[youflog1hawk]

I was there and I think it was 10,000 at least. Although this is a WAG I saw a lot of hawk fans and it was great

I was there with my kids and my dad and my brother and my cousin. A LOT of hawk fans made it into Memorial stadium. It was awesome!

I was at the game, and the crowd is much more speckled in person than on TV. On TV the sea of red is a little more intense.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I'd put it at 7,500 - 9K IMO. It was definitely more than two years ago as I was there in 2013. A lot of Iowa fans were wearing black and kind of blended in, as opposed to wearing gold to stick out. I know I was in mostly black, with just gold writing on my hoody.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

No team takes over Memorial Stadium like Hawkeye fans!

This is a true statement!

This is a true statement!

We are only 50 miles away.

The streets and bars were overrun with Iowa fans, you could hear go hawks echoing throughout the stadium. Most including me wore black so it was hard to tell when looking around the stadium but it was very close to 15,000 btw the stadium was far from being a sellout crowd.

 

[Hawkeyestate81]

Was there Hawk fans all over the place. Easily 10k plus and I wouldn't be surprised if it was 15k.

A sell-out means all of the tickets were sold, not all the seats were filled. All of the tickets were sold last summer. There was a hole in the student section (as many were home for TG), and some empty club seats because people were watching from inside, otherwise most seats were filled.

As of a week ago you could still purchase single game tickets from the University.

That is correct, those are all single seats and were purchased by boosters to keep the streak alive and the AD office sells them on their behalf for a fee.

1. Not even close to a sell out but their red seats hide it well.

2. Most Hawk fans were in black so they blended in. My guess is around 10k+ as well.
