Student Section Moved Back?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Your link says 2021 before you get too excited but it does have the updated donation levels in the legend so who knows.

Lots of interesting replies here. Someone should email JP though for good measure.

The move made no sense. The old student section spot isn’t that great, especially at the upper deck. You get baked by the sun. I can’t imagine the people who got moved were happy.

The noise difference was apparent all year, it should be moved back.

Hard to believe they would just put that out there on a link for 2023 seating without making some kind of public announcement. And yet, just as hard to believe they'd have an outdated map sitting there at that link, especially in year two of the new seating chart.

But if you look at the 3D seating link, which allows you to see the view plus price and donation level for any seats in the stadium, the students remain in the SE corner.

Somebody effed up and got our hopes up. Just goes to show how dumb of a move that decision was. NOBODY likes it.

Athletics has about 100 different seating charts with conflicting information everywhere so who knows
Our Athletic Department web pages are a joke.

Way too much outdated information, not enough FAQs, not enough marketing. I get we want to keep admin costs down, but a little front-end effort will pay for itself on the backend.

Was it quieter because the students moved or that we weren't that good? Some of it was the latter but all the games were fairly close in 4th quarter so I think its about 2:1 ratio it was quieter because of student section location.
