You are 100% correct. But it seems Iowa has a much higher % of their fan base that doesn’t act civil. The majority of Iowa fans are fine. However, such a high % of fans that aren’t civil is more a reflection of the overall fanbase. Meaning opposing fans view the Iowa fan base negatively. Most opposing fans understand there will always be a fan here or there that act strange. But Iowa takes it to another level
We got to Ames and on 30 at 8:30, the line of traffic in the right lane was backed up a little west of Duff to University with people trying to get off. We went up to S. Dakota and entered from the North. I would say we were parked in the handicapped lot within 25 of minutes of getting into line. We were one of the last vehicles they allowed in the lot and then they started parking them to the east of us.
No. Was two years ago for three quarters but none in sight. One of the Hawk teens decided to sit on the stairs for a while so people couldn’t get through at all and said he paid for that ******* seat and try to make him move.
Parking policies changed from when they came two years ago. Back then, first come/first served and cash on the spot was all it took
Have plenty of very close friends and family that are Hawk fans and great people and fans. But there is something that opposing fan bases hate about them. Know plenty of Gopher, Badger, Illini fans and they all view Iowa fan base the same as ISU fans.
It does seem that way but I do doubt it. We just have to deal with them in greater numbers. I'm sure Clemson and SC would say the same about each other...or A&M and Texas...or Auburn and Alabama.
I agree with this. That high percentage is some of the absolute worst and everyone on the outside knows it but apparently them.
Apologies if that was intended as sarcasm...
I think it’s the “Go Hawks, Whoo!” yelling guy to every person they see part of their fan base that everyone remembers. Most are fine but there is enough of them that other fam bases view all as that.
I pulled onto the drive between c2 and c3. Some numb it hawkeye fan drove right in the middle of both lanes so it backed stuff up onto university. He then stopped his pickup right in the middle so people could not turn into C3 or C2 alleys and sat there. I ended up slowly putting two tires onto the curb and pulling up to have the parking ladies scan my pass.
The Hawkeye fanbase does have the highest percentage of bad fans I've encountered, but I also realize that is very likely the case because the Hawkeye fanbase is the one I encounter the most.
I’ve been to a Vikings packers game in MSP. Never had any issues there. Every complaint I hear about Iowa is their fans. Their douchers are at another level than most teams.
