That was before their renovation that changed seating.

I would know because I grew up in high school as a TCU fan. Their old stadium style had a lot of room for standing space.
I stand corrected.

Did they sell out against WV thi syear? Game agaisnt ranked opponents with playoff implications...

I'd be happy if ISU has 59k in stadium, but TCU and ISu aren't anything alike. TCU has a lot more tradition and football success. The TCU vs WVU isn't their biggest game this year.

Without a doubt ISU vs TCU is the largest game home game in many years. This is the first ranked match up since 2002!

TCU has a lot more tradition and success and yet when they redid their stadium they sized it smaller than what iSU averages when they have 2 and 3 win season? And people are claiming iSU fanbase isn't good if they don't sell out the stadium Saturday? Really?
  • 40 years of getting kicked in the nuts
  • 3 winning seasons since the last time we were ranked and played a ranked opponent
  • 17 wins in the last 5 years
  • 9 home wins in the last five years and 34 home losses
  • 3 losses to FCS opponents in the last five years
And we still outdraw TCU every freaking weekend. Hell, I bet we outdrew TCU when we played Kansas on a rainy day.

And people are still wondering why casual fans have found better things to do with their Saturdays? Would rather spend three hours watching the game on TV versus dropping $150+ to drive two or more hours and spend the day in Ames? Could pheasnt hunt int he morning with a group of buddies, go grab lunch and drink beer while watching the game instead of driving and dropping money to watch the game.

But apparently all that doesn't matter and our fans don't serve Campbell, aren't great fans, don't support the coaches and players unless the stadium is sold out Saturday

!

It will be the biggest home game they have this year because they played Okie St and KSU at home and play OU, TT on the road.

In a lot of fans eyes that have been kicked in the nuts for the last 20,30,40 years...it is just another opportunity to get kicked in the nuts.

I am not one of them but damn...with the last 40 years of results...who can blame some fans for feeling that way?

JP did a nice job and takes things head on. I actually think he took a lot of pressure off MC and the team.

A lot of good tickets left in section F, which is basically between the 30 and 40 yard line. But there is still a few in W (40-50 yard line) as well as V and U on the east side. I suppose they want to fill those in first because that is what the TV cameras see.
