Little brother not so little anymore?

I don't recall them being as open about sales in recent years as they used to be in the early Pollard years. It seems the releases are rare and later than they used to be. I thought somebody on Cyclone Report actually counted available seats from the site that lets you pick your seat when you buy season tickets. I'll have to see if I can find that post and report back.Do I know for sure? Nope. I don't know much of anything for sure.
But can you recall a year when sales were good and the AD didn't issue press release(s) about it? This year we've seen nothing like that.
They did start to cap sales after overselling a few years back to the point people demanded their money back. I think they figured out what those hillsides could reasonably hold. If you look at the sold out games in recent years they all have the same reported attendance to the person. They have about 6000 more tickets to sell this year than last year. Two corners which were hillside tickets before SEZ construction are now regular seats, but they added additional seats beyond what they took away on the hillsides.

The NCAA changed the way capacity was figured. Previously you could only count permanent seats as capacity, which was kind of ridiculous since Iowa State sold tickets in areas with no seats.
Capacity was capped last year at 54,800. I think that was 2000 less than 2013 due to construction.
Thanks for the laugh....you've contributed about 8 pages to the thread
Yet the little bro syndrome from clone fans won't let it die.
Well this is just flat out wrong.
Hoiberg said all along he wanted to bring ISU back to prominence which he did. He also had told Jamie Pollard all along to coach in the NBA was his dream.
Sure....and Chizik said he would only leave isu for Auburn then Sanderson said he would only leave for the PSU job as well right?
Hey Is It, I love Pollards newest billboard. "Come to isu, we have more enrollment than Iowa but we will spend less on your education."
Iowa needs Kirkwood to fulfill their student ticket allotment. Kinnick will be unbelievably crazy with all of the underage associate or arts majors screaming at the top of their lungs when the hoks come out of the tunnel. Actually, it will be an upgrade from Vodka Sam. Well done, big brother, well done.

Two win, two win oh ah. Two win, two win oh ah. "Forever One." Win your Super Bowl against Iowa and you can coach forever at isu.
Oh and hey why is isu selling club seats as single game tickets? Big Brother has never had to do that.
No, you're right. Keep defending your beloved hoks at all cost. You guys are obviously on the right track. Carry on...
Don't throw stones in glass houses. Look at your dumpster fire of a program. Talk about being on the right track ISU is far from that. Even during a disappointing season Iowa has more wins than ISU has in the last 2 seasons combined.
Says a clone fan who is all for 5 wins not in one year but TWO.
Now tell us again why isu has to sell single game tickets for a new club section if they are so awesome. No one will laugh through really.
Your SOS argument is false, especially if you want to go back 15 years! Stupid thread and posts not based on fact? Here is the SOS ranking as far back as I could easily find. You guys are just killing us here....?
03-04 Iowa 21, ISU 55
04-05 Iowa 17, ISU 80
05-06 Iowa 9, ISU 15
06-07 Iowa 51, ISU 68
07-08 ISU 49, Iowa 85
08-09 Iowa 55, ISU 66
09-10 Iowa 17. ISU 74
10-11 Iowa 34, ISU 54
11-12 ISU 16, Iowa 30
12-13 ISU 43. Iowa 55
13-14 Iowa 29, ISU 47
14-15 ISU 41, Iowa 46 (Currently)
Oh my goodness how dare they take a pro active approach to sell seats with decrease in season tix that everyone in the state knows about.
ISU fans can say all they want but even with their new 61k stadium Iowa has reached that figure the last decade Plus for home games. It's like Iowa fans patronizing Michigan for not filling the big house last year when they still had more fans at games then kinnick holds.
SOS is meaningless. If it wasn't the Big 12 wouldn't be owned in the post season as it does for football and MBB.
But by all means tell us how it really is. No one will laugh really.

SOLD OUT of FB Mini-packs! Predict more sellouts this week. Cyclone fans are the best! Can't wait to set new attendance record.

As always clone fans will ignore any and all facts that proves their arguments bogus. Didn't you get the memo, SOS matters only when clone fans say so.
Chalk up another stereotype validated. isu fans are only left with arguments where they can be selective in time frames.
I win again.

Called it again. Pollard trumpeting a volume record AFTER discounting tickets.
I win again.
Marketing only counts when I4 says so.
"Come to isu where we have more enrollment than Iowa but we will spend less on your education." Will I4 have an answer?
I bet he won't.
isu has to sell single game tickets to fill their new club section. You nor any investors who bought the revenue bonds can laugh, I4 says so.
Wow you sold out a 61k stadium. Rest of college football must be so envious.
Again even with down ticket sales Iowa still sells more than 61k last decade plus. Post same analogy it's like Iowa fans throwing jabs at Michigan for not selling out their stadium yet they still have more people attending then the capacity at kinnick. Are we suppose to be amazed that many clone fans come out to see a losing team?
Where is Pollard's famous thermometer showing how many "mini-packs" he sold when he discounted the ticket prices?
Quit laughing I4 is SO PROUD.
Do you know how lame you sound trying to brag about filling your stadium that would rank 10th in capacity in the big 10?
Called it. I4 has no answer for "come to isu where we have more enrollment than Iowa but we will spend less on your education."
He also can't tell us why isu is so awesome that they have to sell single game tickets to fill their brand new club section.
I win.
Hurry clone fans the discounted season tickets that cost $175 and $250 in the end zone are going quickly.
But wait I thought isu was so awesome that they didn't need to market or discount tickets in order to sell them.
I4 will be along in four or five short hours to tell us how it really is. Or maybe he will do what all great clone fans do and just ignore what shows isu to be little bro.

Yep but according to I4 that is just brilliant marketing. Almost as brilliant as isu having to sell club seats as single game tickets. Pollard is great just ask him.
