Easy. When we're a consistently good program, and gain new fans, to go with our already loyal base. Dare I say bandwagon fans.

I pray for the day a Tavern Clone is on the news with "Cyclones" inked across his belly
Rhoads went bowling in his first year and had a better record at this point in his tenure than Campbell. There was a lot of excitement at that time and plenty of fans were talking about the program turning the corner.
I am glad Rhoads is gone but let's not pretend he didn't take a program that won 2 games to a winning season in his first year.
I highly doubt TCU I'll sell even half their allotment. They're a private school that won't travel up in the cold. So I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tickets they are trying to sell are from a TCU giving back their unsold tickets.
I think people have a pretty major misconception of attendance across CFB. In 2016 I count 29 P5 schools below ISU in attendance.
The fringe, fairweather and total bandwagon fans tend to be late to the party. Hardcore fanatics can see this is different, but fringe fans usually don't come out of the woodwork until it's a done deal.
Attendance trends in CFB are not positive. Team out east couldn't sell out the last home game to clinch a spot in the title game. Look at TCU, Tech, etc.

Has there ever been an explanation why ISU offers visitor sections in the lower bowl? Most schools put visitors up in a far corner; why don't we do the same?
Pretty sad that the cheapest ticket on Stubhub is 38 dollars for the biggest home game maybe ever. Pretty, pretty sad.
Oh good. An Iowa fan here to turn this into an ISR thread. **** off. This game has nothing to do with you.
Every visiting section I've been to has been lower bowl.
TV purposes probably. Can you imagine all of those empty lower bowl seats? Yikes!
No doubt, and anyone who watches games should know this.....when they showed the Iowa State section in the OK and TT games, they were obviously lower level.
Again...you are ignoring the part I bolded and enlarged. I bolded it an enlarged it because that is what I was claiming he nailed.
Go back and read and let me know if it makes sense.
I'll hang up and listen
