Iowa offering free tickets for the MSU game

[IASTATE07]

No, no you can't. I looked for myself. Keep lying though twins.

Yeah that one ticket isn't anywhere close to center court.

 

[CyTwins]

Sorry I thought section L was center court. It's actually in the corner, You are lying saying it was close to a sell out when it isn't even close

 

[RonBurgundy]

Yeah lots of green dots on that seating chart.

They are refreshing their rep. Instead of the Iowa Gray Hairs, going for the Iowa Green Dot reputation.

I remember the good 'ol days when yeahbuddy was here. Talk tough about the Hawks, but never goes to a game. Seems like a lot of that goes on with so called "hawk supporters" from behind a keyboard.

 

[VeloClone]

looks like somewhere between 750-1000 seats still available for purchase and not just student sections.

A quick estimate of what was posted here puts it closer to 1200.

Pretty sure the attendance on Thursday will show that it's close to a sell out. Roughly 1,000 tickets left for an arena seating 15.5K is close to a sell out in my opinion.

 

[CyTwins]

Pretty sure the attendance tomorrow will show that it's close to a sell out. Roughly 1,000 tickets left for an arena seating 15.5K is close to a sell out in my opinion.

Where are you getting that?

Doubt it since there is no game tomorrow.

6.5 percent empty seats is a sellout to you?

 

[ISU4ME]

Be nice now. He is using Hawkeye math.

 

[mj4cy]

So for 100 bucks you could literally get yourself near half a row. Talk about leg room!

How many of those seats will actually be occupied? A "near sellout" doesn't mean jack if you can throw a rock at certain sections and be likely to hit a group of seats instead of fans.

You could buy a whole chuck of seats and recreate this masterpiece!

Of course you'd have to watch Iowa basketball, so there is a downside.

Million dollar idea for Barta (he better give me kickback)

Promote "DRESS LIKE AN EMPTY CHAIR NIGHT". Guy would never miss a sellout again.

I agree with you, but ISU fans use paid attendance only.

This was how they claimed all of those football sellouts.

 

[Bret44]

Iowa’s fan support for basketball is not great- almost as bad as Iowa State’s fan support for football.

 

[IASTATE07]

Everybody uses paid attendance.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Uhhh, ok. We do pretty well in paid attendance and butts in seats, but you latch on to whatever you can.

Tell me which one looks better in a "Top 25 B1G Matchup" on Thursday night. A "sell out" on paper, or what Carver will actually look like. You can probably blame bad weather, except we know the real reasons.

And some can actually back up their paid attendance with actual fans at games.
