[YoungGun07]

The record is 15,966 correct?

Correct, Penn State vs Pitt.

They need to pre-negotiate a deal with the fire marshal to allow 16k into Carver so we can still break the record if there is bad weather.

I bought 24 tickets at 8:00am, it better be good weather. I'm taking a bunch of Panther trained kids to get them back on the Iowa side. It will be a little different than the West Gym.

Pretty excited haven't gotten my tickets yet but will soon. Is there any chance Oklahoma state brings some of a crowd?

They barely had any fans show up in Stillwater; don't see anybody outside of family members traveling to Iowa for an indoor meet, let alone outdoors.

@TheIowaHawkeyes: Over 20,000 tix sold for Grapple on the Gridiron! #ThanksHawks #dontstopnow #Hawkeyes

20k isn't bad, but it would be a little embarrassing if we can't get 40k fans there for such a once-in-a-lifetime event. Everybody needs to hump this event to everyone they know!

Gobblin says we're over 25k. In any case, over 20k on the first day with tickets available to non-season-ticket holders is pretty darn good. Got about 6 weeks for more ticket sales. I have a hard time believing that another 20k or so won't sell over the next 6 weeks, especially as publicity increases closer to 11/14/15. Plus, you have to figure there will be quite a few walk-ups on the day of the event. With tickets costing about the same as a hot dog and a Coke, tailgaters will probably flock to the thing just to check out the spectacle and be able to say they were there.

I think 40k+ is a pretty safe bet at this point.

Someone please help me out with this. I am a first year season ticket holder. Does this include the Grapple as well or will I need to purchase tickets?

Your season ticket includes the Grapple event, but you need to select your seats. I would contact the ticket office as soon as possible and get your seats selected.

Hopefully they are out at the tailgates selling tickets on game day with dozens of cheerleaders. This could easily get to 40k

Up to 26,000 as of yesterday I believe.
Shaping up to be quite a party on the 14th
