Would attendance be higher if ISU was in the Big 10?

Not sure but i would love to be in the Big 12 I mean 10.

It only takes once. People figure out: "Holy ****! There aren't seats for more than 52,000 or so so we aren't going!" Plus, look at all those people piled into the hillsides in October and November! Its the place to be!

no,but hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!

The poster is correct when looking at things from a regional perspective. NE, MN, WI and NW, are all in very easy drives for their fans to follow the teams on the road. Thus, you get PAYING customers with butts in seats, and cash registers ringing all over town at resturants, and motels for the one who travel a day early.

Likewise, we in-turn would be more appt to travel that close as well.

On the flip side, travel between the Big 12 schools stink. We get very few fans traveling from the states of TX, and OK.

If there's any idiots on the thread, it's the ones with their heads stuck in old Big 8 sand!

(Ok. A better product on the field would help too!)

I was at a Cyclone party last night and attendance was brought up. Somebody made an interesting point that the Big 12 does not have the Iowa appeal like the Big 10 does. He thought ISU would average in the mid 50's if ISU was in the Big 10 as the state of Iowa is more of a Big 10 state and would draw fans that were both Iowa/ISU fans.

you and the fictitious neighbor?
