Wrestling Attendance

ISU was 4th in the nation in attendance last year. Of course we had Iowa at home, but also had a couple of really crappy teams. Pretty good. Hope we can grow on that next year.

I don’t know if that’s impressive or sad for attendance across the board given how horrendous the home slate was last year (outside of TOE like you noted).

Does anyone have figures about what attendance was back in the 1970s when wrestling was at or close to its best at ISU? Hilton was new and people really supported wrestling then. Seems to me that lots of meets had around 12-14k back then. And I think wrestling had bigger crowds than MBB did.

Good job outta Utah Valley in the top 10, even though only 2 home meets.

Kinda surprised how crappy the draws are at some of those BIG schools.

It's way "over-remembered."

16 duals total over 10,000, and 12 of those were pre-1990.

Yeah, 2 home meets? What the heck. Covid, stadium renovation so play on the road?

I don't remember that the armory held that many and meets were well attended back in that era.

Well, the question was about Hilton.

Well, the question was about Hilton.

There was a mention about Hilton in @ the 5th response. I believe attendance back when ISU was relative is appropriate.
