Student season tickets have sold out

[ichawk24]

Is this a sign of increased student demand, or did they reduce the amount of student tickets to make sure they sold out?

[NevadaHawk]

Good, I hope they are LOUD and PUMPED UP! Go Hawks!!

 

[HawkIDrummer]

Now if we can just get em to show up by game time

 

[Wadzinator]

I'm wondering if they move them back to nw corner of stadium by new end zone should be much louder

 

[CO_hawk]

Why don't they put them way up top like they do at Carver? The corner of one of the endzones.

Probably neither student tickets have been sold out for the last 3 years

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

There was a time when students received better tickets depending on year in school. Freshmen got end zone, seniors and grad students got the north 30-yard line halfway up the west stands. That always made sense to me. But that system was abandoned a long time ago.

 

[retrodent]

Carver???? Lol there are more Pom pom’s and band than there are students

 

[Rustys Dad]

Nice job by the students. You want your students there. They help foster that incredible Kinnick environment.

 

[Herkmeister]

I thought they sold out the last several years.

I just hope they show up and add to the Kinnick experience.

I love it when the student section gets after it.

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

A great student section is huge in both basketball and football, but the basketball version has been embarrassingly weak in recent years, and there are many reasons for that. But why GB doesn't get the students in the bottom five rows from end line to end line opposite the TV cameras is beyond me. Make those seats first come first served and help create an actual home-court advantage. Most other teams in the Big Ten and around the country can afford to do it. It's asinine for Iowa not to. But then GB knows best.

The football student section, on the other hand, has been doing a decent job in recent years, but there's still room for improvement. I hope the kids bring it from the opening snap and are relentless in helping the Hawkeyes crush NIU and everyone else who makes the mistake of treading on the hallowed turf of Kinnick Stadium this season.

I did not realize that. That is great news.

Did they walk up hill both ways to school in 6 feet of snow too...lol

Yes, with a pony keg on their shoulder.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Yes, with a pony keg on their shoulder.

While pulling the ponies, that brought the kegs in, behind them......

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Now if we can just get em to show up by game time

And stay through the 3rd quarter.

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

Ahhh, the northwest corner back in the day...

"TASTES GREAT!" followed by, "LESS FILLING!!" which eventually devolved into "EAT..." Well, some of you know how it went from there.

It always intrigues me when people say things like this. It's like the poster and his ilk are going to stay 21 forever...never grow old, like Peter Pan. LOL

May such folks live long enough to be the butt of another generation's naive attempts at humor.

 

[wneff]

Are there actually students who want season tickets and cannot get them? Since it is just GA, do they sell more student tickets than there are seats in the student section?

It certainly used to sell out and you couldn’t buy more.

And we'll deserve it too once we start exaggerating how tough our lives were growing up....

They generally sell a set limit, like 15k or something like that, and once that is gone, that's it.

Common knowledge.

The last I knew, it was around 8,500-10,000?

 

[theIowaHawk]

They had opened up that top corner to non-students, so it’s less.

 

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

That’s incredible and awesome to hear .. I hope they make it even louder for opposing teams that dare to enter Kinnick

Nah. But everyone brought a bota back then.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

How about moving a portion of the students to the east stands in the first 10 rows between the 40 yards lines?

Ah, yes, remember those days like they were 34 years ago! Wait a minute! they were 34 years ago!
Back when I was a know it all undergrad. Now I'm a no nothing middle aged father of three Iowa graduates.
How time flies....

Back in the days when you could bring a pony keg to the spring game--which was an actual football game-- and you could park where the childrens hospital now stands--for free, if you showed up early enough.
Wonderful memories of my student days in Iowa City.
I even managed to attend enough classes to be awarded a diploma in 1987, but I forget what I majored in....

That would be great. They could do student profiles (major, GPA, arrest records, etc.) and figure out who would be highly likely to cause the most trouble and reward those students with east sideline tickets.

What did you fill your bota with? i usually went with cheap scotch.

When I was a student in the late 60s/early 70s, my Seats were way at the top of west stand just under the old press box on about the 40 yard line. High up so we had to yell louder for the team instead of complaining about seat location. And this was during the drought years of Iowa football, when we gave a standing ovation for a first down.
