Nobody at the Outback Bowl

[Cyclone.TV]

Your overall takes and fan smack talk is bad.
The B12 tournament has been in KC for years and the will be for years, and guess what, this is what it looks like:

Those of us that go spend just as much as a bowl game trip.

You need to take a break and step back.

That just shows you how good the Iowa state fan base is. They are going to be a national power very soon.

I wonder how many ISU fans went last year?

I wasn't there nor did I watch much of it on TV but it looked like mostly Cyclones.

 

[CyTwins]

I wonder how many ISU fans went last year?

12-20k

About the same as the attendance for the Big 10 Tournament in DC and NYC.

So not many went, good to know.

 

[IASTATE07]

So not many went, good to know.

4-6000 is still pretty good.

Quite a few went. When are you going to go to a B1G tournament? Ever?

 

[CyTwins]

I went and there was a ton of ISU fans there

He said about the same as the tournament, not Iowa fans.
This is Iowa fans at the B1G tournament:

I'll probably never go TBH.

98% attendance for Iowa home games at 69,250

91% attendance for ISU home games at 61,500

Outback bowl had 40,000 tickets sold and Alamo had 65,000. Say what you want about Iowa and supporting the players and exposure but I am sure they are just fine with how they did this year.

ISU added 5000 seats and Iowa rips out over a 1000 over the last couple years and you think that’s apples to apples?

One of the finer thinkers of our time.

SEC must be defense optional according to hawk definitions

That is still 8,000 difference and Iowa still has more fans in the stands on Saturdays.

Crazy that Nelson told people the lack of support at the Outback Bowl was part of the reason he left

I get it's been a very rough few weeks for you but this is desperate even by your standards. Be better.

Be better? I said I was told the lack of bowl fan support was going to influence his decision BEFORE I knew he was going

Nevermind, I won't pile on.

 

[IASTATE07]

Thinker came back again to let us know how much he doesn't care. Not sure what point he's trying to make, but let it be known he doesn't care what we think.

You are not smart are you. One team is expanding their stadium because attendance is getting better. Another is shrinking their stadium. You mentioned % capacity. Easier to increase when you shrink the stadium.
