What channel on DirecTV is the Iowa St / Iowa game going to be on this weekend? I am unable to search for it, thanks.

You shouldn't need the sports pack if it is on your "local" FSN chanel.
It should be on just about all of them. Its the primary matchup for the week. I don't know what games would conflict with it though if you are are in tx or something.
However, I see there there may be a conflict with cubs mets in chicago.
If you get north, florida, East, Ohio, indiana, Detroit, Oregon, MW, Southwest, Arizona, West
All should get the game. You almost certainly have one of those. If you are right in the Chicago market, or NY market, I'm not sure how that plays out, but more than likely if you are outside of those 2 you get multiple FSN's and will have one of the others.

As far as I can tell the Iowa vs Iowa State game is on every Fox Sports regional affiliate, meaning it is essentially a nationwide broadcast for Fox Sports...
OOops was looking at CSN chicago. strike that for Chicago, but some of that may apply for the MS ST @ Aub territories.
If I remember right though if you get a market FSN, you'll also get another regional FSN. IE if you get FSN MS you will also get FSN South or something like that and all the big regional FSN's are showing ISU.
Since we're in the Cubs market in Iowa and the Cubs are being shown on 665, does this mean the game will be on 666? I don't see it listed in the programming guide but that would make since.
Still no clear answer on whether or not I'll be able to watch from home without the sports pack?
Since the cubs are playing on the only FSN channel I receive and the game doesn't show up on 666 which is supposed to be the alternate FSN channel, I'm assuming I'll need to acquire the sports pack to watch the game on one of the other FSN channels.

My DirecTV schedule shows channel 671 @ 11 am Saturday playing Iowa @ Iowa State. No sports package FSN midwest is included with all packages.
P.S. if you live in Ames, you should be there

FSN midwest is not included in all packages. Why would I go to the Iowa game when I can make it to three other games for the same price? Plus, the game is a "sellout".
Well I have Choice extra and it's included. If you go to the link I provided above you will find the four packages they offer. If you scroll down to "F" under standard channels, you will find FSN midwest offered on all four with several other FSN channels offered for "Choice Premier". If you don't get it maybe you should be calling DTV about not getting a channel that you are paying for.
I will answer you're question with a question. Why would you pay $100 for three games when you could pay $150 for all six home games?
I have Choice extra as well which only comes with your "local" FSN affiliate which is CSN.
Because of family obligations, I can't make it to more than 3 or at most 4 games a year.
Edit: I think you need to take a look at your link again. FSN Midwest is only available to people in our area if you have the Premier package or if you have the sports pack.

That's bull.
There are several ways to watch this game. You're choosing not to implement any of them.
I'm in Des Moines and have Choice Extra. I get none of the FSN channels. Channel 665 is Comcast Chicago which was showing the A&M - SMU game the other night which was a FSN broadcast. Right now the channel guide for 11:00 Saturday morning has Cubs pregame for channel 665. Channel 666 is an alternate Comcast Chicago station and 11:00 Saturday currently says to be announced. I guess I'm going to wait until Saturday morning and see if it shows up on 666. If not I'll subscribe to the Sportspack to get the FSN channels. How long does it typically take once you click on the subcribe to sportspack link on the Direct TV web site until it becomes available to watch? I've heard it only takes a few minutes.
