two things:
1) at the freaking 50?
2) Don't visiting teams HAVE to buy them up? .. so they ARE sold.

Is it a sellout?
Seriously man, you're grasping at straws here.
And again, your last post to me was some crazy idea that the missing people were season ticket holders who didn't show. As if they refunded their tickets or something...
Those seats are on the 50, but 70 rows up. Not exactly the best seats in the house. However, I don't think those seats are alloted to the visiting team.
No, the visiting teams don't have to buy them. I can see Purdue sending a whole lot back to Iowa. Driving from West Lafayette to watch a bad Purdue team, in miserable weather doesn't sound like my idea of a good time. I got my seats for the Syracuse game last year thru the Syracuse ticket office, they had scads of them.
Do you really think that doesn't happen? How many fans would know to call the visiting team to see if they have any left? If Iowa gives 4K tickets to whoever, and they only buy 1/2, that isn't on Iowa. I'm not debating whether or not they were sold - they weren't.

unsold = sellout
Make sense after some liqour and hard drugs I imagine. THH is dangerously close to challenging the still unbelievable "15-13 is dead even" doozy.
I had to do the same thing to prove there was in fact a cover-up. I will do the same here. The following is the Webster’s dictionary definition of a sell-out:
- the act or an instance of selling out
- something sold out ; especially : something (as a concert or contest) for which all tickets are sold
- one who sells out
He is correct. Kinnick has 79 rows and certain sections of rows 70-79 are for the visitors.

Since CH took his ball and went home .... what is your opinion on the number of seats UNSOLD needed to break the 'streak'.
-keep
Obviously any unsold tickets would break the streak. It's not a sell-out if you don't sell all the tickets silly.

I'm giving even more credit than that. If you have a handful of singles, I can see calling it a sellout. But you're talking hundreds, not thousand(s).
The largest unsold number on that list was something like 3% of capacity.
Have you ever sat up there? It sucks, and is really gonna suck this weekend with the wind. Bring the binoculars and a flask.
Don't doubt it.
I've been in Kinnick plenty. I grew up a hawk fans through H.S.
I just find it hard to believe that any visitor section is on the 50, regardless of how high. In fact, the few times I've been there for ISU games have been lower corners and EZ.
What I'm more curious about is where these obstructed views are. I've had plenty of crappy seats there, but nothing "obstructed"
Maybe the the 1st 4-5 rows behind the benches , with the players being the obsructions? Thats the only thing I can think of, and thats pretty thin. When I see "obstructed view" I think of having a pillar in front of my seat, and Kinnick doesn't have any pillars.
