Student Section

I thought Iowa fans were all back in on their new coach, that pic makes attendance seem thin.
Not only do they full the lower bowl, they fill the balcony.One last comment the Christmas Break crowds are surprisingly good for the quality of opponent we are playing. Students are gone and families buy those lower level seats for their one game a yr Christmas present, those families show up and are glad to be in Hilton and have fun cheering. Is it the same as a full student section when a big game comes to town no, but do those families have fun and make for a good environment on a so-so game yes they do. Plus never hurts to ingrain Cyclone fandom onto the young ones.
Look at the home schedule thus far. It’s been horrible. Iowa… then a huge drop off in terms of interest. Opponents matter. Just like they always have.
I love having season tickets, but I have to admit I have just a twinge of jealousy for the folks down behind the baskets for those games. But then I remember I get to go to every game and all is well again. It proves the strength of our program how well those Christmas break games sell. IMO.
The student section is certainly a skeleton of its former self but also when I'm watching on TV all I see are people sitting down with their arms crossed. When we score or the other team fouls or something they make noise but otherwise people in the bottom bowl just sit on their butts waiting for stuff to happen.
I get it for the buy games when we're up 30 but when we're struggling the fans gotta stop be so f*ckin lazy.

Do we still do the ticket lottery for freshman? If so, get rid of it and oversell the student section even more. Let as many freshmen as possible go and it will pay off in the future.
But, B1G Butt is going to have 10 teams in the NCAA Tournament!
They were beating the undefeated #2 team in the country, we were beating 13-10 Baylor, 12-9 Colorado, and unranked UCF. Slightly different.
Go check out their game vs utah yesterday. Louder than any game in Hilton this year. Now that’s not really a standard to expect though cause Phog Allen is the best of the best.
Sometimes I wonder if NIL era is having an impact on non athlete students interest in going to the games. They don't have the opportunity to be paid the big dollars and receive a free education with benefits.
I know watching 3/4's of the football team leaving for greener pastures instead of being committed to the school bothered a number of folks.

I'd guess student attendance is similar to the rest of the crowd. But, due to the general admission if those tickets l, they all consolidate towards the bottom rows so you see a big section if empty seats at the top of the arena. The empty seats from non-students are just spread out so it's not as noticeable.
Yes! And while we are at it, bring back the Hamm's beer jingle!
Trust me I’m not happy about it, but KU is not a good example to compare against. They have the best environment.
None of the crowds compare to the Orr teams in the 80s, Hilton was freaking LIT for conference games and EIU. When we best Norm and the Stipanovich Tigers, I don’t know that Hilton can ever match that energy again, it was incredible.
