All valid points above BUT it’s ridiculous that this game isn’t sold out.

I don’t know, my favorite part of football is seeing the clock guy run onto the field with a timer that is slower than the timers at my gym.
100% agree. Climate controlled, actual seats, 60% length compared to football, more consistent action. Nothing beats being at either for a high level game but the mid-level or lower level games are better for basketball, in my opinion.
Dumbest thing I’ve read in a while
It is my experience that Iowa State football games are such a bargain compared to professional sporting events. I feel that the overall game day experience including tailgating and the game is second to none at Iowa State. I can’t swing season tickets to the Colts or the Pacers, but Cyclone season tickets offer many different reasonable options. I had ISU football season tickets living in Indiana for 4 years. I hope my schedule allows me to get them again in the future.
But it’s a lot more games. Either way, I can understand the excuses people have. But I get so much enjoyment out of being at both that I couldn’t imagine choosing not to go. I just remember how wrong it felt to hear the band during the pregame of that first covid game and to not be there.

Okay. Losing to two G5 teams should’ve helped ticket sales.
Sorry, the educated fan doesn’t give a rip about last year. The educated fan sees the potential of the team this year, and understands that last year was last year. Was it disappointing losing to Ohio and Memphis, sure, but we have an opportunity to make a CCG/playoff game, and you rotters are still playing the “We LoSt To TwO g5 sCHoOlS lAsT YeAr”

I had season tickets for many years and took my 3 small children, even as babies, to all the football games.
My kid's are now involved in high school speech, AYSO soccer, fall baseball etc. I can't drive the two hours to get to Ames while fitting in their activities.
I hate that I can't make it out to as many games as I used to but I am not going to ask my kids to limit their activities either.
Looking forward to finding a time to get to Ames in November when my calendar slows down and when my kids get older I will be back to being a season ticket holder.

That SaintBillSnyder KSU fan on Twitter sure pumped up the beefy 5 layer burrito last week...
Yeah, I don't get the hand-wringing over this. Podcast was recorded on Wednesday morning and there were a few hundred tickets left. Why the panic?
Mid level programs don't sell out. If you want to be a big boy program you sell out conference games.
You’re probably right. Going 9-4 and winning a bowl game vs going 7-6 and losing to two G5 teams probably didn’t impact season ticket sales at all. I wonder what did.
Don't forget the part about not knowing when kickoff will be until 12, or often 6, days out. That matters when you've got a full calendar.
I've had some very fortunate, borderline miraculous scheduling of my kids' activities to not miss many more games than I have. Might catch up with me this season depending on when these next few home games are scheduled.
I tend to get pretty bored at college football games.
I like watching it live but the stop and start and general lack of flow gets long.
After ISU went 4-8 in 2022 they sold the second most season tickets ever in 2023. What impacted that?
When has this happened recently and did the '21 season sell out for mid-tier conference opponents?
That's the last season coming off of a bowl win.
The TV timeouts have definitely ruined the feel of the games. It's bordering on unwatchable for me sometimes.
