Jack Trice Stadium Capacity

[Rural]

I don't know. I graduated high school in Boone in 2000. I feel like there were like 4 fans in the whole school. Boone was weirdly proportioned with a ton of Hawkeye fans, especially considering the proximity to ISU, but even since I've lived in Ankeny there has been a notable shift.

Eastern Iowa.

As far as expanding the stadium, the cost to expand the stadium would take forever to make up by selling cheaper tickets. Also, we're all absolutely pumped right now and we should be but we don't typically sell out every game.

In 2019 we had 3 sellouts - UNI, Iowa, and OSU (homecoming). No other game broke 60k tickets sold.

In 2018, we had zero sellouts and unless I'm incorrect only one game broke 57k and that was an early game against OU.

We shouldn't be making multi-million dollar stadium seating renovations until it's been proven it's sustainable IMO.

part of the reason for our lack of sellouts is because visiting fans don't make it to Ames. The only reliable fan bases are OU, Texas, Ok State, and K-State
