FB Season Tix Update from Pollard
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
I went to Manhattan two years ago. The weather was fantastic and there was a great turnout of ISU fans. Too bad the officials stole that one.
Would be pretty cool to have as many season tickets sold as we once had in official capacity
Let's hope senior night means something despite a lack-luster opponent. It would be nice to have one more home game celebration with the seniors before going to Manhattan with a CCG on the line.
The bad thing is both of those were called Pass Inference, and both times they picked up the flag. That was one of the worst screw jobs anyone has seen in years.
Refs were doing their best to give Snyder a chance in his "final" game. Then he comes back for one more year. It made it all the more sweeter that we came from behind to beat them last year.
Could be the same play, but the refs did pick up two flags on two different plays for inference against KSU in the 4th quarter of the game. Both were horrible calls. It would have been one thing if it was not called, but to throw the flag and then pick it up. The refs should never ref an ISU game again.
I'd probably guess somewhere between 50-53k, once you back out the road ticket allotment (5k?), single-game group sales, tickets reserved for media, etc.
Are Suites counted in season ticket sales? How about the 6k in the hillsides? Because I was thinking with what you counted plus those and on field people, band etc. (that count in capacity) it would be closer to maybe 48k? But honestly I really dont know how many they actually have to sell.
Hillsides are usually counted as season tickets by the AD. Suites probably count for the ones that are sold for the full season.
They label their capacity like we used to... their record attendance at the new stadium is 49k.
So it might take until next season to do that.
KnappShack....I assume then that you are old enough to remember when bowl games did not want us because in their words ISU fans were too "Cheap Ass" to buy bowl game tickets...Sad but true.....
I remember being able to take a nap in the stands after half. I could've studied, but why?
Fun is one way to put it, I guess lol. I know what you mean though. The numbers that TD was putting up was the only national recognition we were getting, but there was a lot of buzz in a day when there were only a couple games on TV and no internet. The atmosphere was kinda fun in those days cause the students truly didn’t care about the game. I have fond memories of going to those games, but I like these days a hell of a lot more.
