Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4889360, member: 591"] I suspect it is paid attendance at Iowa State. Lots of season tix. And not much else in Ames - I swear the one time we were there we were on the glass elevator in the hotel and looked out the window to the scenic "Bull Semen Institute". We went to the NCAA's in Iowa State 25 years ago and it was a huge crowd, but I don't remember the numbers. I suspect you have 2 factors, reducing NCAA attendance somewhat - first, the tickets that are not available (reserved for visitors, for example). Also, sadly, there are "fans" that don't indulge in post-season, either because of the cost, or seat availability, or whatever, but they exist, we saw it at Rutgers during the years we were there and knew fans who just didn't buy postseason tix. One factor I don't have any idea, which is how Iowa State ticket sales are tied to sales for other sports. Back years ago we went to a game at Wisconsin and WBB ticket holders tickets were tied to their men's basketball and ice hockey tickets in some fashion via a seat license. [/QUOTE]
