Let's be honest, If Pelini would have been retained as Head Coach Nebraska would have had half if that for their Spring Game.Originally posted by BuffSurveyor:

With a new Head Coach and different direction in attitude and our obsession over our program you seen what happened.
Iowa had a very disappointed season last year and some don't see the upcoming season being much better.
If they would have Fired KF and hired someone like Bob Stoops you would see them fill their spring game.
Doubt it. Though the spring game attendance was elevated partly due to a new coaching staff, much of it had to do with the perfect game day weather which would have remained regardless of which staff was coaching. Husker spring game attendance hasn't dipped below the 60,000 mark for the last eight years (with the obvious exception of 2012 when the game was canceled due to inclement weather).Let's be honest, If Pelini would have been retained as Head Coach Nebraska would have had half if that for their Spring Game.So, how will Iowa rank on this list?

UNL fans actually think this game counts.
UNL fans know that this game put well over $1 million into the football program coffers, not to mention the impression it makes on visiting recruits. Also, it's a great excuse to tailgate and do little day drinking.Originally posted by hawkinne:

Hey genius, the spring game is at Kinnick. The practice at Valley stadium was just an event they've done the last couple years.Originally posted by donahues17:
No UNL fans know the meaning of this game just like OSU and Michigan fans know the meaning of the game. All 3 of them just have a more loyal fanbase than Iowa. It doesnt help that Iowa has their spring game at a High School Stadium. But I guess KF wants the stands to look full no matter where they are.
Wait, are you serious? Nebraska uses their Spring game to reap more athletic department revenue and instead of using it as an opportunity to raise donations for a charitable cause? Just because you can suck more money out of the masses doesn't mean that you necessarily should IMO. Lame.Originally posted by SantaBarbaraSker:

LMAO at this guy who comes on here throwing out crap when he doesn't have the facts.Originally posted by donahues17:

Ummm.....they're not sucking the money out of anything. They're holding a Spring Game at the stadium like 99% of other teams. The masses aren't being forced to do anything.Originally posted by Obviously Oblivious:

The state of Nebraska has 1.8 million people, total (That's roughly the same population as Idaho).
The University of Nebraska has the 2nd lowest student population (Only school with less students is Northwestern). Ohio State has well over 2x the student population and the Columbus, Ohio metro alone has 100,000 more people than the entire state of Nebraska.
Spring Game Club Level Seats = $15
Spring Game Students/Fans = $10
Kids that take the "Drug Free" pledge = Free
No other program charges more than $5 and students get in free (See: Auburn and Ohio State). Alabama's Spring Game is free to attend. So is Michigan's. Etc.
Nebraska's Spring Game is a minimum $10 and still packs $75k + because the masses WANT to give money. Nebraska doesn't even have 2 million people in the state and has less than 25k students. Nebraska is an anomaly, dude. It's not normal and has way less people than every other state with competitive D1 teams. Hell, Iowa has more than 3x the population. Nebraskans know this, so they're WILLING to help.
It is absolutely necessary and Nebraskans love football, so that's why there is never a shortage of demand. Husker fans are loyal to the program, which is why the stadium has been sold out every game since 1962.

Typical simplistic thinking from and Iowa fan. The NU spring game was held nearly 10 months away from signing day. Most recruits with any sort of a decent offer list aren't going to make a decision 10 months prior to signing day. Every single recruit visiting for the spring game (to a man), has spoken on the record about how impressed they were with the facilities, coaching staff, and specially the spring game crowd. That will reap benefits as signing day approaches.
Careful, your insecurity is showing.
I guess that means zero. I'm insecure and you're on the Hawkeye board. Brilliant.
I was with you until you said that Iowa has 3 times the population of Nebraska. I'm not an expert at math, but 3,107,000 is not 3 times more than 1,882,000...
It seems you were just making up some random stats to help prove your point more. If you just stick to the facts you don't sound stupid.
If we want a big attendance, we need to spice up our spring game and make it a real game or something. Make it fun for the fans.Good for the Big Ten, perhaps not so good for Iowa. ISU coming in at 7,500.
