Agree. ISU band was always in the opposite endzone of Iowa's band at Kinnick, but last year they stuck them way up in the top 10-15 rows of the stadium. They did the same to UNI too.
I'd stick Iowa's band in one of the hillsides this year.

While I have your attention- can we get less of JBL and his screaming and more of you guys and your pregame sound? He needs his script to be half of the size he has been using. He does not need to fire up the crowd now a days- it is a new era
They can perform their halftime show on the practice field and sit on the hillside...nobody needs them to take up seats this year.
Sat in that section for the Texas Tech game back in 2002. Not a bad view. I was also 7 at the time.. Anywhere in the upper deck on the sides isn't too bad.
This.
I have an uncle who is a huge UNI fan with season tickets to football and basketball and he would never miss a chance to beat ISU or Iowa. Hell he went and cheered for NDSU when they beat Iowa. He is not coming to this game as he doesn’t think they stand a chance. Kind of disappointing as I really enjoy spending time with and tailgating with them.
Sorry man, no pull with the ISU marching band folks. I was a music Major (which means I was not in marching band

I seem to remember a lot of music majors in marching band back in the day (how has it been 12 years already?)
For the Iowa game, I really hope that Pollard treats their band like they did the ISU band last year, and seats them in the upper deck, and not in the lower bowl.
Hell If it was up to me, I would place the Iowa band in the far North west corner of the stands in the upper deck, as far away from the visitors section as you can get.

Since that is close to us I would say no but I like your sentiment.
Well, this thread has certainly jumped the rails.
Latest available season ticket count, anyone?

I was a music major and in marching band. But that was 40 years ago, things might have changed a little.Sorry man, no pull with the ISU marching band folks. I was a music Major (which means I was not in marching band
My quick check shows only 13 season tickets left... impressive. None left in lower bowl. 6 pairs of two and one solo.
More like 60,000+ fans there.
They'll be 61,500 there
Honestly, Iowa has just followed suit with the other B1G schools who stuff the visitors clear up in the nose bleeds...
For now I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. The north end zone where the visiting band traditionally sat was a mess last year with construction. They are not going to give up too many prime seats to a visiting band. We will see what they do from now on.
