IOWA STATE SHATTERS SEASON TICKET RECORD

**ChrisMWilliams** · 09-21-2011, 10:08 AM

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State has sold more season football tickets this season than any other year in the history of the institution.

Through Wednesday, the school had sold 37,446 season tickets and orders continue to come in. The previous record was 36,610 in 2007.

“It has been non-stop in the athletics ticket office,” Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “The team’s great start has also ignited single-game and mini-pack sales this past week.”

This fall’s season ticket number is nearly 6,000 more than last year, a remarkable 18.3 percent increase. The Cyclones’ opening two home games drew the second (56,085 vs. Iowa) and fourth-largest (55,481 vs. UNI) crowds in Jack Trice Stadium history.

“We have already sold more than 53,000 tickets for our game against Texas (Oct. 1),” said Pollard. “Fans wanting tickets to the Texas game better act quickly because we expect to sell out in the next several days.”

Iowa State is on a pace to average more than 50,000 fans per home game this season. The Cyclones’ current home attendance average is ranked 35th nationally. That mark is higher than seven schools in the Big East, eight schools in the Pac-12, seven schools in the ACC and five schools in the Big Ten.

Winning and being 3-0 - the best promotion ISU has had in a long time!

That would be big to average 50,000 this season!

Hope they have two more for the Texas game, ordering for some friends today.

Awesome.

I also wonder how much of it has to do with winning and having the new scoreboard. It does seem that right after we do any new renovation to the stadium there are more fans in the stands regardless of record.

I don't know what to do. I don't know if we will be in the field yet or not.

Yep, we need to go to a bowl and the NCAA in case Powers/Boren/Denton flare/fires up again next summer. Our time is now.

Solution hire Iowa fans to work in the fields for you while you attend the ISU game. Solving problems is what I do.

Buy them now, if you aren't running by then go to the game. If you are, sell the tickets to a buddy. You'll be able to get rid of them.

CPR called and we responded. Outstanding!

Can't wait to go for a full day of tailgating and a great game. Win or lose, I just ask they leave it all out on the field like they did for Iowa.

**clonomaniac** · 09-21-2011, 10:29 AM

ON AVERAGE (different tiers etc), how much is a ISU season ticket? I am trying to do a math here... Help me out.

JP and CPR are doing everything right. The day is near for a BIG XII North/South division again so we could win North Championship again. Oh wait, that happened already! Maybe National Champ this time?
