Have you been before? You'll be treated well, excepting a few drunks, which is a sitaution that exists at any away game you travel to.
I've been to every game in Iowa City since 2004. And traveling to Iowa City is worse than any other experience I've had at away games which includes Norman, Stillwater, Austin, and Tulsa the last three years.
I guarantee you will not be treated well. Been there for the past 3 games. Worst fans in the nation as a whole. Still some good people of course
I'm not exactly sure where you tailgate at, or where you hang out at, but you might consider some better suggestions if this is what you find.
But unfortunately this game does seem to bring out low class people on both sides.
Having said this, the worst treatment I received in Ames was in an ISU donor section in 2009. I've always been treated well in the other sections.
Weird deal.

Seems the opposite to me. I've never had any problems around donors in IC, always treated well in the wealthy lots near Kinnick. Its the dooshy Chicago students and Kirkwood students/grads that always seem to give my group a hard time. Unfortunately, those demographics are a large part of Iowa's fan base.
Going again but I go every year. Don't know why I go because the opposing fans can be terrible. Probably because I try to make as many away games as possible and logistically it makes sense. We always tailgate in the donor lots and for the most part everyone is fine there but the walk to and from the car and in the stadium is worse than any other place I've been and I've been to a lot of different away games.
bahahahahahaha. okay the hate is starting to flow inside of me again.
For the Chicago kids, yeah I have. Plus it's pretty easy to distinguish an in-state Iowa student vs a "Chicago" student, even you have to admit this... Same for trashy kwood fans and folks that bought their Iowa shirt from the Wal-Mart across the street from their trailer park. Seems like the Iowa fans with actual ties to the University and the state are usually respectable.
@GTO needs to make a guide to Iowa City tailgating for ISU fans. Apparently it would also be helpful to some hok fans as well.
I will be there Saturday..... unfortunately. I've been down there twice before for the ISU-Iowa game, and have not been treated well at all.
The first time I had my 10 year old son with me, and some Hok fans would walk up to us and scream obscenities at us..... more than once. My son learned a lot of new words that day. Even I learned a few new ones.
Not excited about going on Saturday either. It's going to be brutal. Especially that late in the day. The ISU-Iowa game should never be played later than 2 pm. It should be at 11 am every chance possible.
I've generally always been a supporter of doing away with this game. I hate it. It's not a healthy rivalry at all.

Funny but true story; I've been called a goat-f***ing farmer by an Iowa doosh while one of his friends was wearing a black and gold ANF shirt. I was born and raised in Iowa City, far from any farm. Not sure where this goon was from.
Oh. I thought maybe you had run into Zach Johnson or something.
Zach is your typical Iowa fan. Didn't go there to school, but jumped on the bandwagon as a kid. For people like him, if ISU had just happened to be the best team in the state when they were young, they would be ISU fans now. They have no allegiances to Iowa at all.
Never been treated any worse in Iowa City than any other location (well, maybe not Kansas as they really dont give a darn). I really think people make up a lot of these stories.
We will be flying into Chicago Thursday, meeting up with some friends (mix of Iowa and ISU) friday and heading to Iowa City early. Staying 2 nights in IC, back to Chicago Sunday and home on Monday. 3 of us in total. Hoping not to leave the game at half!

I agree this game should Never be played at nite....Way TOOOoooo many Drunks and students throwing up from way too much alcohol consumption...Remember the old adage...If U cant hold your Liquor Don't Drink.
Big difference between rivalry and non rivalry games. Texas and OK teams know they will win 99% of the time so they have no reason to get pumped for the game. If ISU ever started winning at those schools as much as they have at Kinnick than you would get the same treatment or worse.
I'm an Iowa State fan and have never been on a farm in my life (outside of pumpkin patches when I was a kid). Gasp!!!!!
