(Lack of) Iowa Football Fan Support
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
The game that had an $80 face value last year against big brother will always sell out but @HawkeyeMashup thinks the Penn State game should have had a lower face value than that so people would have came.
If Iowa sold tickets for $33 they would sell out every game. Unfortunately Iowa charges nearly 3 times that for some games as kinnick
In 2001, they were coming off 7 wins over 3 years. They put 68K or more in the stands vs Penn St, Indiana, and Michigan. They put 65K in the stands vs Minnesota.
Not at all. After 7 wins over 3 years, Iowa averaged over 68K fans for their 4 BigTen home games.
Unless he gets hurt that dude is the Heisman winner and I hope he goes to my NFL team. 4.3 speed with moves. He'll be running for real money next year.
And better than any of the Clones as well. Will be top RB drafted for sure.
I believe he had to go back that far because that's the closest comparable data for what Iowa would look like if they had Iowa st type success. Your right we don't what Iowa sales would do if we fell off like Iowa st but it's best case guess we can make. Maybe someday Iowa will be a cellar dweller too so we can compare accurately, more of an apples to apples scenario. Until then that's the best guess a person can make.
He reminds me a lot of a combination of Barry Sanders and David Montgomery
Well, if he wants to look back at that season then perhaps he shouldn't have done just the 4 conference home games. Looking at their first two home games that season it was 56,000 and 58,000. That's pretty bad for a fan base that size.
I can agree with that they maybe should've shown better, I know I went to 3 or 4 games a year during that period and good tix were fairly easy to get for a good price. But In reality Iowas fan base is probably a bit over inflated compared to what they should be when you compare population centers, success and history. And you can definitely make a the same argument only stronger for Iowa st especially compared to anything north east and south of Iowa. Wins vs fans vs demographics would easily make Iowa st probably the #1 team in the nation and Iowa probably in that 5-10 range kinda like KSU, WVU, and Oregon.
How about even more of it?
I never felt Iowa could beat Penn st, OSU or Wisconsin this offseason.
Going into those games I feel Iowa could beat Penn St, OSU and Wisconsin. If Iowa plays a clean game they could get them.
