The upper deck on the east side was way more filled in than the west side. People likely (smartly) wanted to be in the sun to help stay warmer. I can say Section M was cold in the shadows.
Some of that was because of the returned "visitor section" tickets. 2 sections on the SW side are visitor sections that mostly got returned unsold by TCU.

10/31
Breakdown 11/2:
Lower West: 117/101
Upper West: 685/936
Lower Endzone: 44/44
Upper Endzone: 17/11
Lower East: 81/49
Upper East: 952/964
Total Available: 1896/2105

And that doesn't count the Oklahoma St. return which you can no longer purchase tickets through their office. Two days ago I approximated that to be around at 950. Adding this to what the ticket office is showing, we'd be sitting at approximately 58500 sold.

I wonder where the returned tickets from the upper deck came from. Anyway. Seems like the seat map is always changing +/-.

Not quite as confident in my original 60k+ prediction. Seems like sales have been slow the last two days.

Yeah I would like some explanation on why the map changes up and down, not just down as things get sold too. I also wonder when the Ok st tickets that they didnt sell will be returned. Its strange that they showed there on Sunday but then were gone again on Monday. I think if and how close this game gets to a sell out will depend on how this weekend goes and how the weather holds out for next weekend. Also if Gameday does decide to come here it may give a little bump too. All is yet to be seen.

Still 8 days out...you will get the bump especially if both teams win this week-end. Who would have thought that a game in Ames in November could potentially have two top-10 teams? Weather still looking good at this time...

Disagree if you want but if we beat WVU and don't sell this out, it will be a disappointment. 7-2 Top 15 Iowa State on Senior Day (or Night) playing a top 10/20 opponent (depending on Bedlam outcome) with a trip to the Big 12 championship game hanging in the balance. By far it would be the biggest game in Iowa State history with what may be the best team in Iowa State history.

If we win this weekend the hype should get us a sellout. Without a win we’ll need a nice forecast for all the local fairweather fans

I was thinking about this earlier. Could this be the highest attendance for a Nov game? Anyone have stats on this?

Top 10 November attended games:

11/03/2012 OKLAHOMA 56,585 L 20-35
11/09/2013 TCU 54,922 L 17-21
11/14/2015 OKLAHOMA STATE 54,180 L 31-35
11/23/2013 KANSAS 54,081 W 31-30
11/23/2012 WEST VIRGINIA 53,792 L 24-31
11/15/1980 NEBRASKA 52,942 L 0-35
11/03/1984 NEBRASKA 52,919 L 0-44
11/13/1982 NEBRASKA 52,887 L 10-48
11/18/2011 OKLAHOMA STATE 52,027 W 37-31
11/05/2011 KANSAS 51,575 W 13-10

Since Jack Trice opened in 1975, there have been 74 November games and average November attendance has been 43,403.

Weather.com saying temp of 36 at kickoff.

32% (?) Chance of precipitation

Living in the Midwest really does suck at times.

With the 11AM kickoff and cool temps, I really do wonder what attendance will be like.

Hopefully we can get close to 60K. Its another top 25 match up, and as fans we owe it to these Seniors who clearly have worked their tails off to get ISU to a respectable place. They have hardly had any success in their 4-5 years here and deserve a nice send off.

Looking more like the chance of rain is dropping, or moving towards Sunday, so hopefully the cold won't keep anyone away. Would be awesome to get 60,000+ for a game on ABC in most of the country.
