Lots of Hawk fans..... yes..... but by what scale? I choose to use the scale that I've noticed less and less Hawk fans in the stands with every year that passes, and I don't think that it is a coincidence that this correlates strongly with the growth of season ticket sales. With that said, didn't we set another record for season ticket sales this year?? If so, my guess is we might also set a record for fewest Hawk fans. If you don't agree with my logic, do you remember how many Hawk fans there were something like 16 years ago in the stands? Shoot, just go back 10. It wasn't even comparable to now.
Considering the number of people dressed in Hawkeye gear at non-ISU vs Iowa games -- albeit a small number -- I don't know how anyone can say there will be fewer Hawk fans at the game Saturday
