Is game sold out and curious how many hawk fans actually will be attending? Prices are $100+ on Stubhub with only a few tickets for sale. Assuming it will end up being mostly BC fans due to location. Personally don’t see many Iowa fans payin $500/night for a hotel.
Pinstripe Attendance
- Thread starter ChiHawk21
- Start date
Why does it matter at all? Can we just enjoy the game?
Ummmm? I was curious. Prettttttty prettttty defensive over there.
Wadleys family and 7 other hawk fans.
I just checked and there are 53 Iowa fans attending. If we could have gotten to 55 it would have made a big difference.

I'm curious too, OP, but I guess we'll have to wait til game time to find out. Capacity is about 47,000, and with Iowa alums in the NYC area, maybe 5,000 Iowa fans will be there. BC says its fans are excited, so maybe they'll have 30,000 or so. Just another road game for the Hawkeyes, and they've been great on the . . . ooops. Well, maybe today's the day they will be great on the road. I just hope Akrum Wadley has a Ruthian performance with at least two or three home runs.
Average attendance the last 7 years is 40,996.
If you use Google you can find all kinds of interesting facts.

For about the 78302nd time. Who the hell is paying for $500 a night for a hotel? Even in times square?
Wadley said he had to come up with around 50 I believe, and ISM needed a bunch as well, as they went to the same high school in Jersey. Each player on the team has access to six tickets. I would think with the Iowa folks out east there will be around 10k at the game.
Ya me too. We’ve ridiculed the bowl, but now that it’s here, I’m excited.
So far Pinstripe is the highest attended Bowl this year, though I assume Texas’ game will surpass ours once it’s added to this site

I'm very happy the Hawkeyes won and all, but this venue really, really sucks.
23 degrees at kick off, 12 degree wind chill. Just goes against everything the bowls are supposed to be - a warm weather reward for a job well done for northern climate teams and their fans.
I seriously considered a last minute trip out to the game a couple days ago and I decided against it. Even though they won and it was a fairly exiting finish I still didn't regret not pulling the trigger and going because of the craptastic weather. I've never felt that way about a bowl game before.
Been to a few on last minute decisions and skipped others at the last minute, like the Rose Bowl debacle a couple years ago. Even though they were spanked, I still regret not going to that just because it's the Grand Daddy of em all and Southern California weather.
If they're good enough to get a warm weather game next year, I'm there.

The NCAA Football Bowl Committee should never
have allowed the NY Pinstripe Bowl to exist. Bad
weather state for December or January. Too many
meaningless Bowls already exist and teams with a
6-6 record should not be invited.

Dude, Lute, you were all about the pinstripe bowl and the yankees and championships before the game started.
they need to keep it....BUT it needs to be a b1g/sec game!!!

Lets see -- official paid attendance
Pinstripe Bowl 37,667
Las Vegas Bowl (Oregon & Boise) -- 36,432
Independence Bowl (Florida St & Southern Mississippi) 33,601
Cactus Bowl (Kansas State & UCLA) 32,859
Birmingham Bowl (Texas Tech & a G5 team) 28,623
Heart of Dallas Bowl (Utah & West Virginia) 20,507
Quick Lane Bowl (Duke & Northern Illinois) 20,211
Armed Forces Bowl (Army & another G5 team) 35,986
Everything else all involving G5 teams anywhere from 13,000 to 29.000
Is that just around 38.000 great? No. But it's more than anyone else so far and most everyone else played in warmer weather places

What?? You realize those are shittier bowls with shittier teams (for the most part, go army) and you're pimping this shit ass attendance against those?? Did you see the stands?
You're only paying $500 a night in NYC if you are staying on Times Square on New Year's Eve. Yeah things are more expensive but not the way people are acting.
It looked so cold on TV. Props to the fans that went. I want the B1G to get out of this bowl as soon as humanly possible. NYC is a great town, but it's expensive, and the weather is miserable in late December.
No. We've done our time and now don't have to go back for 7 years. Let's make others in the Big Ten do their time.

The reason you go to the Pinstripe Bowl is neither for the warm weather nor the beaches. You go to be in NYC. I am sure NYC during the holidays and especially New Year’s Eve is something special. NYC latterly gets millions of visitors every year. If it is not what you consider ideal then good we will not be back in NYC for at least 8 more years.
Admittedly I agree sitting in 23deg weather watching a football game would not have been fun but think of all the tens of thousands of Redskins and Giants fans that will be MetLife stadium this Sunday.

This was added for Rutgers, Maryland and the NY market, period.
38K for a bowl game in 17 degree weather is impressive. With that being said, I believe the allotments to each school count as tickets sold regardless if the school sells them.
So this game's attendance was right around where the average attendance is for this game. There have been two outliers but those had a reason for it.
ND/Rutgers-ND's Subway alumni and Rutgers being so close.
PSU-going to a bowl after not able to participate in bowls because of sanctions.

It would be hilarious to see the pin stripe attempt to get an SEC team to play in that bowl.
Yeah, I'd say the attendance wasn't too bad and hope all that made it to the game had a great time.
I'm ok keeping this bowl with the conference. Gets some nice exposure for the Hawkeyes in NYC, and really, I've spent Christmas in the city quite a few times and it was never cold like this. Just bad luck to have this frigid cold sweep through. I do like that other poster's idea of getting an SEC partner to come in for the game though.

NYC sucks anyway you look at it.. I have been there a half a dozen times and worked there for months at a time and everything from the people who live there to everything about it is as trashiest at its best ... it's the worst site of any bowl game period and a punishment to be forced to play there. If you don't believe me ask the 30,000 other fans that didn't make the game.

Wait a minute ...... you didnt like something? How odd.
I have no idea really, but I find it very hard to believe that 37,000 were actually in attendance. That must have been paid attendance and I'm guessing that the full Iowa allotment counts in those ticket sales since they have to buy that amount from the bowl.
